The Art of Forgetting by Camille Pagán
3.0
This book gets major, major kudos from me for not taking the turn I was convinced was inevitable. Namely, the main character not dumping her current, stable boyfriend for the boyfriend who resurfaces from her past; the boyfriend she still may have feelings for.....
That storyline happens a lot in books/movies, so you can't blame me for thinking it was going to happen. Did I mention I'm glad it didn't? I hate when authors make their characters dump their nice, steady guys for the perfect boyfriend of the past because he is "the one". It irks me to no end. Probably because I never like the charming, handsome past boyfriends. I like a nice, steady guy. (As long as he's not yawn-inducing.)
Anyhow, this book didn't have anything terribly exceptional to set it apart from others of its kind, but it was an enjoyable read! Though I thought the parts when she was working with the tweens were gaggingly inspirational. But hey, that could just be me.
And oh, I have to mention the gorgeous cover! I would hang it on my wall if I could!
