Forget Me Not by Alyson Derrick
challenging
emotional
medium-paced
4.5
A YA love story told in reverse.
🌸
Stevie and Nora have been in love for two years, but they know their ultra conservative parents wouldn’t approve so they’ve kept their romance a secret, counting the days until they can leave the rural Pennsylvania town for California. When Stevie gets a head injury she forgets the last two years of her life. Stevie’s life looks different at eighteen then it did at fifteen so she tried to piece the missing parts back together while Nora does everything she can to get her to remember.

This book by @whoisalysonanyway has been brought up as a potential book ban so I read it to see why. Two girls in love is NOT a reason to challenge or censor a novel, yet in today’s climate that’s what we are seeing. This was a beautiful romance that I couldn’t stop reading. I loved it from beginning to end and HIGHLY recommend it.
CW: homophobia, hospitalization, coma, physical assault, domestic abuse, religious trauma, memory loss, toxic friendship, forced outing, disownment
