Can't Forget You by Rachel Lacey
2.0
*TON OF SPOILERS*
I wanted a quick, simple read which I did get from this but oh boy did the female lead irritate me towards the end. She knows that her love interest is very private and they promised not to tell their friends about their relationship just yet--but she went ahead and told about 5 people (which he found out about because the said friends confronted him randomly one day).
Towards the beginning of the story, he discovers that his birth mother who abandoned him at the age of 6 is back in town trying to get ahold of him. This is so traumatic in general, let alone he already has some PTSD from the Army he's been living with. Well, long story short the Mom leaves him a note, he's pissed and gives it to his dog to chew up. Well, his girlfriend goes to his place while he's away, finds the note and calls his mother. Wtf?! THEN she brings it up to him and somehow makes herself the victim because "he didn't tell her about everything with his mom".
Girl...I just can't.
I get some of the whole, "don't lie to me" or "be honest" but jeez...family traumas take a bit of time to process and handle before divulging to your new partner who tells people everything.
Again, I didn't completely dislike the book obviously (haha) but Jessica's character needs to get her head out of her ass and worry about her own crap.
P.S. I agree with the other reviewers this is now k own as the Lyme Disease book.
