Forget Me Not by Julie Soto

5.0

this book was… wow.

i’m seriously about to burst into tears right now, but like… in the best possible way, if that makes sense. i absolutely fucking inhaled this novel. and now i’m just wandering around my bedroom aimlessly and wondering how the hell i’m going to recover.

everything about this was total and utter perfection. i have ZERO notes, ZERO qualms, and ZERO complaints. i seriously can’t wrap my head around how fucking good this book was!

i’m quickly learning that second chance romance is capable of inflicting extreme emotional damage. and if i felt myself warming up to that trope BEFORE, let me just say that this book has 100% solidified my love for it. this was executed so damn well, from the build-up, to the angsty break-up, to the painfully awkward aftermath.

i loved the dual POVs—getting inside ama’s head during the present, and living inside elliot’s head in the past. i loved how utterly obsessed elliot was with ama. i’m a firm believer that the man has to adore the woman a TEENY bit more for a relationship to truly thrive. this book took that notion and ran for the fucking hills with it. my standards are—impossibly—even higher than before. i will not settle until i have found my own personal elliot bloom!

if you read one romance novel this year, let it be this one! and don’t forget to thank me later, because you definitely won’t regret it
