Make room for a new book boyfriend with Elliot Bloom.
 Forget Me Not is equal measure swoon, steam, and sweetness. Plus humour, donuts, tattoos, and did I mention steam.
 Thank you to Read Forever for my gifted copy for review!
 Ama Torres is a wedding planner, newly on her own in business and constantly seeking the perfect vision for her clients. She's grown up around weddings with her mother having been married 16 times.
 Elliot Bloom inherited the Blooming flower shop from his father, and his creativity sets him apart in the industry. As does his attitude. 
 The story is told through current-day Ama, who has landed a career-making account for the famed Hazel Renee wedding, as well as Elliot three years prior during his and Ama's "unlabelled thing".
 Forget Me Not could have been the typical grumpy/sunshine, but it's beyond that. It's not often I get so invested in rom-com characters.
 I absolutely loved this book and will be singing author Julie Soto's praises - recommended!
 For release on July 11.

Thanks to Libro FM for the free copy of this book.

 - FORGET ME NOT is a delicious second chance romance told through a dual timeline, with the woman's chapters in the present day and the man's chapters in the past, recalling their relationship and breakup.
- I listened to the audiobook, and while the performances were good, the male narrator was a bit too committed to being the grumpy in the grumpy/sunshine, often sounding like he was rolling his eyes at the end of every sentence, even during spicy scenes the character was clearly into.
- Aside from that, this is was lovely, tender story of two people finding their way back to each other, all while surrounded by excellent supporting characters.
- Plus, I won't give away the ending, but I loved it and how it broke the mold.
