Forget You by Jennifer Echols



1/5 Stars

B&N:


WHY CAN’T YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU FORGET . . . AND WHAT YOU REMEMBER? There’s a lot Zoey would like to forget. Like how her father has knocked up his twenty-four- year old girlfriend. Like Zoey’s fear that the whole town will find out about her mom’s nervous breakdown. Like darkly handsome bad boy Doug taunting her at school. Feeling like her life is about to become a complete mess, Zoey fights back the only way she knows how, using her famous attention to detail to make sure she’s the perfect daughter, the perfect student, and the perfect girlfriend to ultra-popular football player Brandon. But then Zoey is in a car crash, and the next day there’s one thing she can’t remember at all—the entire night before. Did she go parking with Brandon, like she planned? And if so, why does it seem like Brandon is avoiding her? And why is Doug—of all people— suddenly acting as if something significant happened between the two of them? Zoey dimly remembers Doug pulling her from the wreck, but he keeps referring to what happened that night as if it was more, and it terrifies Zoey to admit how much is a blank to her. Controlled, meticulous Zoey is quickly losing her grip on the all-important details of her life—a life that seems strangely empty of Brandon, and strangely full of Doug.

My Review:

Ok, let me just say I heard some decent things about this book. But I thought it was horrible. I was bored with hit. I literally skimmed through half the book just to find out what actually happened the night of the accident. I didn't feel any sympathy for the main character, I can't even remember her name and I just finished the book- oh yea, Zoey.

Mild spoilers:

Anyways her character was extremely annoying going on and on about Brandon. I'm sorry, if your "boyfriend" isn't calling you,texting you, checking in with you after you had an accident, he's not a good guy and something is up. Zoey is just an idiot.

Also, I wasn't a fan of the authors writing- which is probably also why I skimmed through most of the book. I did like the character, Doug (had to look up his name, too!). He was the most developed and he wasn't even that developed.

--And now I'm laughing a little because I just finished the book and I forget the two main characters' names of a book called Forget You
