Reviews with content warning for Homophobia - Forget Me Not

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.

I had a physical pain in my chest the whole time I read this. The most heart wrenching, beautiful thing. I sobbed in relief at the happy ending.

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 is a romance novel!!! The love between the two main characters is so warm, patient, and sweet. There are no weird dynamics between them and it’s a love that is worth aspiring toward. The difficulties these characters face are in no way lighthearted. TW for racism, homophobia, and parental abuse. As someone who grew up in the south, this love story is one that is not too far from home. I have such a deep appreciation for the author’s ability to construct a relationship that you not only love to follow but also root for. I often struggle to connect with and cheer for the love interests in romance novels because they seem so shallow and mismatched. I love how easily you can understand the chemistry between these two characters even without the backstory to support it. Nora is so gentle and funny that it makes you fall in love with her too. This book broke my heart and sewed it back up again and again. Would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in a sapphic love story!!

This was a beautiful, realistic love story, set within the unlikely scenario of an amnestic teenager forgetting her two year relationship with her girlfriend. The tension and fears were real, and the ending was poignant.

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.
