Forget Me Not was a good discovery! I got this book for free on this year's Stuff Your Kindle Day, so I wasn't expecting anything. 
It's a medium-paced mystery/thriller with short chapters (always a plus ❤️). 

Some would say it's told in dual POV, but I disagree. Yes there are a couple chapters from the killer's point of view, but barely. We pretty much only see Amanda's point of view. I found the plot to be well written, although more chapters from the stalker's point of view would have been a nice touch. 

I enjoyed reading this book. The short chapters make it entertaining and I always wanted to know what was happening next. I didn't think there was any really dull moment. You follow along as the stalker gets progressively worse and as he leaves out clues and tests the limits. 

Although I could see some things coming, I didn't expect the ending at all. I hesitated between rating this a 3.75 or 4 stars, but the fact I wasn't expecting the plot twist makes it a 4 ⭐. 

Forget Me Not is a duology. I'll check out book 2 but I'm not 100% sure I'll read it just yet. If you're not a fan of duologies, this could very well be read as a stand alone.

Empty dialogue and a very loosely connected story that is on the weak side

Like
- I like their dog
- The characters at the beginning was okay

Dislike 
- The story itself is very weak. Nothing really connected well and it felt like an outline for an idea
- The characters are one dimensional and they felt annoying after the first 100 pages. The dialogue is monotone and repetitive 
- Writing is also not strong, a lot of useless filler dialogue, events and descriptions that didn’t need to be there. It didn’t add to the story 
- Not a fan of the ending

Kitsch. Way too much talking about nothing which made turning the pages very difficult. The story was a bit ridiculous too. I liked some of the scenery but this won’t be enough for me to read the next one

Kind of slow, but the imagery was good at times. Twist and ending were ok

3.5 stars overall. I wish we had more dual POVs between the FMC and the killer. The plot was good overall but it didn’t blow me away. I got this for free on stock your kindle day. It can be read as a stand alone although it’s part of a series that all take place in the same location of Summit Lake.
