Forget Me Not has way to many characters to keep track of, and all the nicknames in the story are very juvenile. I had to double check that this wasn’t a young adult title, because it was very high school & unrealistic. Police sharing info with their old classmate was far fetched and a little Nancy Drew-ish.
The story moves along at a snails pace, and the ending was very predicable and felt rushed. Good attempt from the author, and the storyline should have worked, but I was disappointed with childish writing

This was a pretty good book at the beginning but towards the middle and end it lost some of its interesting story line. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to read this book.

This book was neither good nor bad. The premise is brilliant and the reveal at the end was beautifully done. However, the characters are a bit one-sided and it reads like most “whodunnit” novels out there.

This book was ok. I got through half before stopping due to loss of interest. The characters were dull and I felt like I had read a million other books like this that had done it better.

I just could not get away with this. It was well written but it was very slow and meandering and not gripping in the slightest. I ended up skim reading it as I like to know what happens when I’ve started a book but I was not remotely invested in any of the characters or the outcome. Thanks to Harper Collins, Netgalley and the author for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review I’m only sorry it couldn’t be more positive.

Full review to follow - a slower burn thriller than I was expecting but still a solid suspense read!

This book was well written. This is the first book I have read from this author and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. I felt for The main character but sometime hated her. I would definitely recommend this book for a quick easy read.

I was so disappointed as I was looking forward to reading this book but I am afraid that I found it so slow, lacking any suspense or tension. I just couldn’t get into it, sorry but not the book for me.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

What happened to Nora ??
Nora went missing 10 years ago and her best friend Maddie simply can’t let it go. Now Nora’s sister is missing and everything and everyone are under suspicion again.

For most of the book nothing happened in the present and the story floats back to the past and retells what happened the night Nora went missing from different points of view, including Nora herself. It gave me the impression that nothing was happening and made the novel feel very slow. The little bit of foreshadowing did let me guess who did it but I was happy with the ending. I flew through this book cause I really needed to know who did it !!

Can’t wait to see more books from A.M. Taylor. Solid first book.

When Maddie was 17, her best friend Nora disappeared without a trace, leaving a gaping hole in Maddie's heart. Ten years later on the anniversary of Nora's disappearance, her younger sister is found dead in the same spot where Nora's car was found. Maddie has been consumed with finding out what happened with Nora and how that her sister has been murdered, Maddie does everything in her power to find out who murdered Nora's sister and what happened to Nora. A.M. Taylor has written a suspenseful novel that was truly un-put-downable. When I was not reading, I was constantly thinking about what happened to Nora and who killed Nora's sister. I'm typically fairly good at figuring out the ending of novels like these, but the ending of 'Forget Me Not' took me by total surprise. I look forward to reading more from A.M. Taylor!

A. Brilliant debut from a promising writer. The myster surrounding the disappearance of one sister and the ultimate murder of another was well executed and the suspense built at a good pace until the ultimate unveiling of the murderer.

Forget Me Not by A.M. Taylor is a psychological thriller.

First, let me thank NetGalley, the publishers Harper Impulse/Killer Reads, and of course the author, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

My Synopsis:
10 years have passed, and there are still no answers. 10 years since Nora went missing. The 17-year old’s car was found, but Nora was not. Her family and friends have not had closure. Her best friend, Maddie, has not really moved on. Nothing has gone right for Maddie since Nora disappeared.

On the anniversary of Nora’s disappearance, 17-year old Noelle is found murdered in the exact location where Nora went missing. Noelle (Elle) is Nora’s younger sister. Noelle is the same age as Nora was when she disappeared. Too many coincidences.

Maddie’s already fragile state of mind goes into overdrive, and she starts trying to track a murderer, hoping that she will also find out what really happened to Nora. She may find more than she wants.

My Opinions:
First, as a debut novel, this was really good.

The story is told through a number of different avenues. Both Maddie’s current thoughts and her memories play a big role, but so do social media and the press coverage.

Although there were some early clues as to the perpetrator, the motive did not surface until close to the end, and meanwhile there were other possible culprits thrown in. The suspense built rather slowly, but the read was interesting.

The writing is good, the plot was interesting, and most of the characters had depth. I am looking forward to read whatever A.M. Taylor comes up with next!

This one really hooked me in from the beginning. About 3/4 of the way through I thought I had figured it out - but - nope! I enjoyed the switching from present to the past. I look forward to seeing more from this author in the future....

Where did her best friend go?

When Maddie met Nora she felt as if she'd known her forever. Their friendship was her life line. So when Nora went missing, Maddie felt her whole world crumble.

Ten years later, Maddie is still searching for Nora and meeting with her family for an annual remembrance party...but the gatherings have gotten uncomfortable and feel somehow meaningless. Then Nora's little sister is found in the exact spot where Nora was last seen.

Maddie doesn't think it's a coincidence and she is determined to uncover the truth, even if it kills her.

An exciting debut psychological thriller perfect for fans of Clare Mackintosh, Liane Moriarty and Lisa Jewell.

WHAT HAPPENED TO NORA?

When Maddie met Nora, their friendship felt as easy as breathing. And when Nora disappeared, all the air went with her. Without her best friend, Maddie’s life became impossible.

Ten years later, Nora is still missing and Maddie is still searching. People have been questioned. People have even been accused. But no one has managed to find Nora.

Then, in the same spot where Nora went missing, the murdered body of Nora’s little sister is found. Convinced this is no coincidence, Maddie resolves to uncover the killer and find Nora – dead or alive.

But will she be able to cope, when we learn what really happened to Nora…?

My thoughts
rating:5 stars
it really is a heart-wrenching thriller that's felled with twist and turns and secrets that need to come out, it shows how far a friend ship will go and how you think you know someone and it turns out you really don't , how you think you can can trust someone and you find out you can't , it pulls you into it and makes you feel for what Nora's family is going though as well as Maddie . With that said i would say that you need to read it for your self to see what I'm talking about'
Thanks Netgalley for letting me read and review it and i can't wait to read more by this author .
