Forget Me Not by Alyson Derrick

4.0

“My heart feels happy listening to her, like I could do it forever.”

Once again proving that I can appreciate YA contemporaries, so long as they have a sad element.

There was so much I loved about this book, how it handled Stevie's relationship with her parents and her own identity as well as the ways she tried to get back to herself. Her romance with Nora felt very believable and it was incredibly easy to root for them.

My only complaints are that it felt odd for Stevie to perceive herself as 15 and yet carry on as an 18 year old (when it came to romance and her future) and that it was a bit rushed at times (particular the end) but when a book is this short, that's to be expected.

I would recommend going into this with caution if you're a vegan (or anyone that feels queasy with discussions of animal death/meat). It alternated between discussing the benefits of staying away from meat and then having a cow you'd met be served for dinner.

Overall, I thought this was a really good YA contemporary and I'm glad I read it.
