Another lovely buddy read with my beautiful, gorgeous book bestie Katey! <3
Forget Me Not didn't quite reach the standard that Not Another Love Song set for me, but it was still an extremely easy read and I enjoyed most of it.
One thing Julio Soto can do is write a man who's so fucking pathetic for the woman he loves, it's insane, and I eat that shit up. This MMC is no exception. Also, she can write smut. That said, I don't think the relationship fully worked for me in this one. And if I had to read one more fucking time about how "rock hard" this man got, I would've screamed. Julie really abused that phrase in this book, I fear.
The miscommunication or rather lack of communication, the FMC's reluctance to behave like a normal person and have consideration for this man, the lack of character or even self-respect this man had just cause he was in love, the lack of self-reflection of the FMC, and the way that things wrapped up just weren't entirely up my alley.
I had a lot of issues with the FMC in particular and that's not to say I disliked her, I just didn't agree with the way she behaved, and didn't like the way the MMC just took her shit even though it hurt him. I wish the relationship developed a little differently and I wish the ending was actually good.
Other than that, lol, I had a good time with this. The wedding planning was a good profession for this FMC to have and the drama around that was entertaining, I loved that the MMC was passionate about his work as a florist, his tattoos and their meaning were a nice touch, the smut was nice overall, and these characters had good interactions despite the fact I didn't 100% feel like they worked together for most of it.
