Forget You- Jennifer Echols

There’s a lot Zoey would like to forget. Like how her father has knocked up his twenty-four- year old girlfriend. Like Zoey’s fear that the whole town will find out about her mom’s nervous breakdown. Like darkly handsome bad boy Doug taunting her at school. Feeling like her life is about to become a complete mess, Zoey fights back the only way she knows how, using her famous attention to detail to make sure she’s the perfect daughter, the perfect student, and the perfect girlfriend to ultra-popular football player Brandon. But then Zoey is in a car crash, and the next day there’s one thing she can’t remember at all—the entire night before. Did she go parking with Brandon, like she planned? And if so, why does it seem like Brandon is avoiding her? And why is Doug—of all people— suddenly acting as if something significant happened between the two of them? Zoey dimly remembers Doug pulling her from the wreck, but he keeps referring to what happened that night as if it was more, and it terrifies Zoey to admit how much is a blank to her. Controlled, meticulous Zoey is quickly losing her grip on the all-important details of her life—a life that seems strangely empty of Brandon, and strangely full of Doug.

The Review

4 Stars

        I don’t understand why this book was so sexual. Zoey was a virgin and then one night she just gave it all up to a guy named Brandon. It wasn’t special and it wasn’t magical. It was hard and rough with no point to it.

        Well after that night Zoey says she’s dating but you couldn’t really tell. Brandon is a user and a player. I did not like his attitude or his character. He was a jerk to Zoey and he didn’t have her best interest at heart.

        Doug was… charming. He wasn’t a saint but he wasn’t the devil either. He was a nice little mix of both. He cared for Zoey, he really did. The most shocking thing in the book didn’t really come as a surprise. The most shocking thing was that Doug was in the car when Zoey had her car crash. The most shocking thing to me was that Zoey and Doug had gotten hot and heavy a few hours before the crash. Talk about a shocker. I loved how Doug knew how to push Zoey’s buttons.

        I like how Zoey’s mom got better too. In my opinion the book ended perfectly, even if it was a little sexual.
