Book Review:
You know, I really liked this book. It was a nice, easy, entertaining read, that had just enough angst and torture to make it worth 4 stars.
Forget Me Not truly is a coming-of-age book that I can see a lot of first year college students going through. You start college with your high school boyfriend, only to experience college and what it is about. It is a time for experimenting, growing as an person and trying to find yourself. Often times that leads you to a different person because you are a different person now.
With the underlying rhythm of coming of age, there is the brazenly hot sex. Whoa Momma, this is experimenting, ride-me-hard sex. It is kinky hot sex that when you read it you will need to change your panties. I love how Lily embraces her sexuality and runs with it. It is refreshing to read about a women who isn't afraid to think of herself as a whore.
For whatever reason, I can't put my finger on why I liked this book so much. It is similar to other New Adult books out there, there wasn't huge plot twists, but it had a nice cadence to it that kept me interested and panting the whole way through it.
