My Thoughts - Zoey has always tried to be perfect. But it's hard to give the perfect image when your father has left you and your mentally ill mother to marry a twenty something girl. When your mother has recently tried to kill herself and when you've recently been in a car crash and can't remember a single thing from that day.
Zoey tends to makes some pretty stupid choices - like thinking that her best friend Brandon would actually be faithful to her. She knows exactly what he's like - more than anyone else. He tells her what girls are on his hit list for gods sake, and is a complete player, so what the girl is thinking getting with the guy is beyond me. Definitely not one of her most finest moments.
Echols trademark - fast pace, hot boys, addictive read are all here. Something was a little off though. Most likely the fact that the Zoey managed to really got on my nerves at times. She makes so many careless mistakes and decisions that it's kind of too easy not to like her.
The thing is she has no idea what happened the day of the crash. She knows that Doug was in the car, but that's it. So when her closest friends start acting strange around her including Brandon, and when Doug is hinting to something more - it leaves our MC trying to put the pieces back together again. But with people now avoiding her she may just have to evaluate who she can and cannot trust.
Lets get down to the person who made this book. Doug. That boy was a complete dare - devil. The smexy kind. Too freaking hot for his own good if you ask me. He is the character that will keep you turning the pages.
FORGET YOU was weaker than previous novels such as ENDLESS SUMMER AND GOING TOO FAR which I was a pretty disappointed about. Yes it was highly entertaining and enjoyable, but it could have done without some things. For example; the main character could have acted less like a bimbo despite supposedly being quite intellectual, and I think Brandon could have still been a jerk without making him a even bigger bimbo. I'll definitely be picking up more of the authors books, because lets be honest - they are addictive as hell!
