Thank you to NetGalley for approving this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review. I have given Forget Me Not by Alix Garin three out of five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

First of all, this graphic novel is filled with absolutely stunning illustrations. I fell in love with the art and the colours which were used. I will say that there are some scenes which include: nudity, sex and drugs, so I wouldn’t necessarily advise a children’s audience picking this up.

This book follows Clémence who takes her grandmother, who suffers with Alzheimer’s, from the nursing home she resides in to visit her childhood home one more time. I absolutely adored the relationship between Clémence and her grandmother, they were both fun and loving characters which I enjoyed reading about. This story had heart-warming and heart-breaking elements to it, I felt my emotions were on a mini rollercoaster whilst reading the entirety of this book.

Besides my emotions being all over the place, I don’t think I would re-read this book again. I thought this story was going to be really lovely and sweet however, it took quite a turn and I didn’t like some of Clémence’s actions she decided to take as I didn’t think they were in her grandmother’s best interest. I liked some parts of the story but overall, this graphic novel wasn’t for me.
