It was good but not great. I would still definitely recommend it though.  I think the miniseries will be better than the book. 

Great narrator! Rebecca Lowman did really well with the characters.

Forget Me Not was amazing! I just finished it and absolutely loved it. 5 star read and a slump breaker! Im not usually a second chance romance girlie but this might’ve changed that. Elliot is book boyfriend material for sure 😍

The narration was fantastic too! 

Thank you to Libro.fm and Hachette Audio for the advance review copy in exchange for my honest opinion. 

I’m planning to get a physical copy when it releases for my trophy shelf

Interesting concept. I feel like it simultaneously needed more plot and fewer characters. So much time was lost with switching between characters without much happening. I also found it hard to be invested in most of the characters since we were only with them for a short period of time. 

The narration was good but not great. 

I feel like this is the book equivalent of a “Sunday Driver.” It scenic and was enjoyable but took a long time to get there- and you might’ve fallen asleep along the way.
