"The Forgetting" by Hannah Beckerman is a compelling read that explores the themes of memory loss, secrets, and family bonds. The author does a good job of weaving together the two storylines of Anna and Livvy, although at times the pace of the book can feel slow. While the characters are well-drawn, some of their decisions and actions can be frustrating to follow. The resolution of the mystery that connects the two women is satisfying, but the ending feels a bit rushed. Overall, "The Forgetting" is an enjoyable read, but it falls short of being truly memorable or exceptional. If you're looking for a light, character-driven novel that explores themes of identity and family, this might be worth checking out.
