Forget about It by Caprice Crane
4.0
I wish I could give this book 4.5 stars. I more than "liked it," but wouldn't necessarily call it "amazing." It was a very clever tale of Jordan Landau, a 25-year-old ad agency employee (almost the lowest rung on the ladder), who hated her boyfriend, her mother, and her boss. So one day, while riding her bike down the crowded, rainy streets of NYC, she's hit by a car. In the hospital she has a flash of brilliance. Why not just fake amnesia? Now was her chance to reinvent herself. With the help of her best friend, Todd, that is just what Jordan does. So ensues the real adventures of Jordan Landau, amnesia patient. the story follows her attempts at balancing cultivating a "new" life and trying to maintain her lie. But then one day, a curveball gets thrown into the mix, and puts the brakes on her little game. Now Jordan has to figure her life out for real, and figure out what it is she truly wants. Dun dun dun!
Actually it was realy cute. It was well written, and quirky, both qualities I've come to expect from Caprice Crane. It was frought with pop-culture references and song lyrics. There were some laugh-out-loud moments and some gasp-out-loud moments. There was even a I-know-it's-2am-but-I-can't-sleep-because-I-need-to-know-what's-going-to-happen-next moment. I read it in about 2-3 days. It was a lot of fun. :)
