Forget MeK. A. Harrington
Hardcover, 288 pages
Published August 7th 2014 by Putnam Juvenile
An edge-of-your seat psychological thriller with a romantic twist
On the three-month anniversary of her boyfriend Flynn’s death, Morgan uploads her only photo of him to FriendShare to get some closure—but she’s shocked when the facial recognition software suggests she tag him as "Evan Murphy." She’s never heard of Evan, but a quick search tells her that he lives in a nearby town and looks exactly like Flynn. Only this boy is very much alive.
Digging through layers of secrets and lies, Morgan is left questioning everything she thought she knew about her boyfriend, her town, and even her parents' involvement in this massive web of lies.
Review:
The synopsis of this book sounds fantastic. The tag line "An edge-of-your seat psychological thriller with a romantic twist" sounds like just something I would LOVE.....But still, I was pretty unsure about it.
Morgan's character felt a bit undeveloped throughout Forget Me, her character is definitely not the strong point of the book. However, she is still a believable character with interesting characteristics (such as being a photographer). The romance in this book didn't feel too rushed like I worried it might be, I think that the build up to it was great.
The beginning of Forget Me moves very quickly (almost too quickly) but still enjoyable and with enough information to build a believable and interesting plot for the rest of the book. The writing in Forget Me reminded me of what I would find in a Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys book, simple, easy to understand, not too much "blah, blah, blah, that I tend to find in a lot of thrillers. So, if you like Nancy Drew books, I would definitely recommend Forget Me.
