There isn't much to say about 'Forget Me Not' except that it was an emotional rollercoaster. I felt like it should have been much more of a slow burn between Stevie and Nora - I definitely think they jumped back into a relationship far too quickly, but I also understand they had already established an unspoken connection between the two. The ending felt rushed and the choices made by the protagonists parents felt totally out of character. However, I can see how this novel was made to give those queer kids living in a conservative small town hope. Overall, it was a fun and sweet piece of work, and it did invoke a tasteful tear from me. I shall definitely be reading the rest of Alyson Derrick's body of work.
