I'm picky about prose when I read, and the prose in this book didn't grip me or feel very indulgent. I still think it was well written though, and I was completely swept away in the story!

A quick read that I ate through in 2 days. I felt well immersed in the setting and characters, and I cried through part of the book. Every part of the story was very well thought out, and I would probably even read it again some time.

If you're looking for a 'young lesbian in a conservative town' story, I couldn't recommend this book more highly :)

Especially if you want a happy ending or want to feel seen.

Check out the content warnings btw

This book is so ridiculous. The pacing is off and the premise isn't properly executed, so it's more fun to laugh at then to really read. I actually like that most of the characters are made to be hated because it gives you some passion while reading.

Alyson Derrick smashes it out of the park. Forget Me Not is heartbreaking and hilarious (i genuinely lol’d) i also nearly cried. the ending is everything, and while i didn’t love the prose at the beginning i feel in love with it by the end. this is obviously perfect for fans of how to get the girl and all other Alyson Derrick or Rachel Lippincott fans! it’s the perfect, heartbreaking yet healing sapphic romance ! (i also read it in less than 24 hours!!)

This book plays with the amnesia trope in a way that is very unique. I love how Stevie’s pov is written. Ultimately, some of the relationships between Stevie and her friends seem a little off, and too many characters seem really flat, and developments seem to be pushed along regardless of whether the groundwork for them had really been laid. It is a good story about the power of tenacity and love to change your world.
