With the intrigue of Memento and the romance of The Time-Traveller's Wife, Forgotten" is the perfect YA novel. London Lane cannot remember the past, she only remembers the future. She manages her condition by writing notes to herself each day. She has created a system that works and is living some semblance of a normal life. Then she meets Luke. Handsome, kind, unforgettable Luke. He triggers a dark memory and suddenly there are too many questions. Why can’t London remember Luke? How long can she go falling in love with the same boy every day? Whose funeral is haunting her and how can she solve a mystery she doesn’t remember? Forgotten is a heart-wrenching story about first love, and finding the truth in a past you can’t remember.

Forgotten

Here's the thing about me: I can see the future in flashes, like memories. But my past is a blank. I remember what I'll wear tomorrow, and an argument that won't happen until this afternoon. But I don't know what I ate for dinner last night. I get by with the help of notes, my mom and my best friend Jamie, and the system works ...

it definitely was a good book like the plot was great and i love the character development London goes through, but at time she did annoy me with some of her decisions and reactions to things that can't be helped. i would recommend this book though if you're looking to get out of a reading slump, it does help because the plot mives just fast enough to not get boring and the chapters are nice and short (my fav😫‼️)

Sixteen-year-old London Lane forgets everything each night and must use notes to struggle through the day, even to recall her wonderful boyfriend, but she "remembers" future events and as her "flashforwards" become more disturbing she realizes she must learn more about the past lest it destroy her future.

Al principio el libro me pareció lento pero después no pude parar de leer.
El libro es muy fácil de leer y la historia es llamativa.
Al final solo me pude matar de la risa. Nunca pensé que terminaría así, no es el típico final feliz que se espera y deja al lector imaginárselo a su manera.

AMAZING! I loved this book so much! It had me hooked from page one. Luke and London were so adorable! :3 

More coherent review to come...sometime...in the probably-not-so-near future. *sighs* College, no time for anything xP

Wow. That's all I can start out with, is wow. I am utterly stunned by how original, how beautiful, and how amazingly captivating Forgotten was. I promise to do my best to explain without any spoilers, but let me just say that this is a book you need to keep your eye on. Trust me.

London Lane has an interesting problem. Every night when she goes to sleep, her memories disappear and she starts the next day with a blank slate. Sounds pretty awful right? Well that's what I thought too, but London handles her situation with the utmost grace and strength. I fell in love with her right from the start. Using a notebook and a specially programmed phone, London keeps her life on track the best way she knows how. It was fascinating to watch her go through her daily life.

Now if you're thinking that London is just like any other person who might have something like amnesia, let me guarantee you that you're wrong. See she may forget the past, but what is really captivating about her life is that she sees the future. It's not always clear, it's not always happy, but it's there. London lives her life in the future, because she cannot seem to remember her past. People who are unimportant flit by, but the people she knows will stick are always there to be remembered when she wakes up in the morning. The downside to seeing the future is that she can't change it. Or can she? Are you salivating over the prospect yet? As you should be! This added so much more to the story, especially when the mystery (that I won't spoil for you) comes into play. Did I mention this book is amazing?

In terms of the hot guy and romance that is promised in the synopsis, I was really pleased with how it all worked out. Instead of just throwing London into a new relationship with some unspoken connection, the two of them really do grow together. Cat Patrick also throws in some information that makes you feel really good about their match. On top of that, Luke is to die for. He's sweet, funny, sensitive, basically perfect. However he's not so perfect that he is unbelievable. Luke is the guy we all want in our lives. Flawed, but flawed perfectly. I think I might be in love too.

There are so many elements of this book that I'd love to shout from the rooftops, but I'll have to leave it here. Anything else would be a spoiler, and you all know my policy on spoilers. So therefore, you'll have to trust me when I say that Forgotten is well worth your time! If you want a story that is truly original, go and get a copy of this book. You won't be sorry.
