While this was really hard to keep straight, I'm glad I hung in there as the story started weaving all the loose ends together. I definitely loved this story.
Loved it. And just when you think you've got it all straight... nope. Just a nice story!!
Three women, three different stories, three different eras and yet their stories are all intertwined. The wonderful authors of The Forgotten Room pulled it all together, tying up loose ends, and telling an amazing story that kept me hooked from the first page to the very last.
The Forgotten Room is a love story that spans eras. It starts with a mother which leads to a daughter and ends with a granddaughter. The love that Olive, Lucy, and Kate find is not an easy love. It is a love that has withstood time and heartbreak. There are things that stand in the way of these women finding their happy ever after and they must make tough decisions on what they want for their lives. While there is love, there is also hardships, sadness, and separation.
The love story part was the main story there was also the mystery of what happen to Harry Pratt, the first part of the love story. I had ideas, I tried to follow the clues, and I thought I had it figured out. Yet I found I was truly clueless. Until closer to the end of the story I did not have it figured out right. This could frustrate some readers, but to me it just added so much to the story. I love to be kept guessing and kept wondering while reading. If the author gives away the secrets too soon it takes so much from the book.
I could not put The Forgotten Room down and highly recommend checking it out.

The story (told by three authors) of three strong women of different generations and their connection to this forgotten room in a NY mansion.
Romantic yet heartbreaking...an enjoyable read.
Admittedly, I did have to take notes to keep the characters straight. Like creating a family tree for a stranger.

Audiobook
A beautifully written book. 3 generations that are told seamlessly. Olive, Lucy and Kate all find themselves in the forgotten room within an old mansion (that is also a hospital and a boarding house throughout the book). Lost loves and lost art, the 3 generations of women find themselves navigating societal expectations as well as familial obligations. The stories are woven together masterfully and I was a bit sad when the book ended.

I really enjoyed this book! There is a big question threaded throughout the book that the authors manage to keep you guessing about without it being annoying. I like that it was written in the different POVs. Definitely would recommend this book!
There were points when I was super confused about details. With 3 different authors and 3 different characters, there’s a lot of moving parts. I feel like, however, this is a great example of trust the process. I also think that it was so romantic without being smutty. Overall, this book is a solid 4.5 because I was confused multiple times, but I rounded up because the storyline comes right for the feels.
I couldn’t figure out whether this book was a romance or historical fiction. Either way, it fell flat.
