Forget Me Not by Q.B. Tyler

4.0

---

This one has been sitting on my TBR for a while because I usually try to avoid the cheating trope because it’s just not for me, but I love QB Tyler so I thought I’d try it eventually. It was really emotional and I loved but also hated it at the same time. There were a lot of hard topics in this and I can see why Bennett did what he did (I’ll never understand cheating ever), I didn’t agree with it. I also didn’t like that the side characters were blaming Liv for B’s infidelity because she was supportive and “B went through it too”. Them getting back together after that wasn’t what bothered me. What bothered me was B’s lying and betraying Liv’s trust AGAIN by not being honest about regaining his memory and the pressure on her to take him back. He didn’t do enough groveling in my opinion and while he loves his wife, he needs therapy to deal with his shit. Overall I liked the story but I want to shake the sh!t out of Bennett.
