Read this book really fast cause I just wanted to get through it. It did get better later on in the book and I liked the ending, but wasn’t a favourite read.

Finally finished a proper book while suffering an awful book slump!

Forget Me Not holds the most raw and endearing journey on becoming free to love, achieving resolutions, and to simply be. The author sustained satisfying authenticity of two young women rightful to live and cherish their love for each other. The familiar conflicts surrounding LGBTQIA+ love stories such as parent issues, the dilemma with religious beliefs, and wrong circle of friends, enabled the story truly communicative to the readers. The resolved confrontations were really, really satisfying especially when you are rooting for pure, genuine love.

A sort-of swift and easy-to-remember read, this one deserves 4/5 stars.

This book was the cutest love story ever. I loved how the main character lost herself and how Nora helped her find herself and how Ryan also accompanied her throughout the book and accepted her as she was, and didn't feel betrayed because they dated a bit. I loved how Nora showed her the pictures and objects from their experiences together. And I liked that the book showed that people still don't accept gays sometimes but emphasized how natural it was instead of emphasizing too much about how the main character would never be accepted (At least in the village). The end of the book really made me cry and I never cry from books or movies (this is literally my 177th book this year and it's the first book that made me cry even if for a little bit)

If you remember me, then I don’t care if everyone else forgets.
