Not Wolff's best but still an enjoyable, entertaining read. A little too much on the gardening details to suit me, but I just skimmed. As usual, a satisfying ending caps off a fun book.

It had all the elements of a good trashy read. Slightly predictable as they all are, but not too much so that it detracted from the enjoyment. As far as chick lit goes, this is a pretty good example.

This is a lovely book in the decent chick-lit genre. It was very easy to read and had a good plot with a few twists and turns. It was predictable but not in an obvious way so it kept me reading. I definitely want to read me by this author.

Forget Me Not was one of my favourite reads by Isabel Wolff. I’ve enjoyed most of the books I’ve read by her but Forget Me Not was brilliant. I love when a book is written in first-person style it’s so easier to follow a story, I think.
Anna Temple’s mother has just died and that’s where the story starts: they’re clearing out her parents’ old house as her dad is moving closer to Anna. I loved all the flower references even if I’m no way flower-worldly.
The book not only explores bereavement but also family secrets, a single mother struggling to bring up her baby as well as starting her new business and also finding love again. I guessed, along with Anna that it was her sister who wasn’t her full-sister and was surprised when I found out it wasn’t and who it actually was.
I loved the Milly/Anna parts and thought Xan was irritating at first, flitting in and out at will but I liked that he did eventually come to realise how much he loved Milly even if he also irritated with how protective he became of Anna when he realised she had a new boyfriend.
I thought Jamie was more of a background character at the beginning before becoming more involved, I would have liked a bit more interaction between himself and Anna before they got together but I can’t complain.
I thought Patrick, Anna’s new boyfriend was dodgy and the incident near the end of the book definitely proved that. Also I was so curious as to who was the father of Jenny’s baby, Anna’s friend, and I didn’t see it coming. Luisa was also hilarious teaching Milly Spanish…the characters were just so diverse and so great.
It was a pageturner of high quality and I just love Isabel Wolff’s writing.
