Llakshmi's Reviews > Forget Me Not

** spoiler alert ** this surprised me. I wasn't sure how i would feel about this considering the fact that I'm a petty bitch. When i found out this contained cheating i was v reluctant in picking this up. But OH MY GOOD. It was sooo good.

Unfortunately it wasn't emotional enough for me. I felt the heroine's pain, but i couldn't shed a fucking tear. But that's just me and not the book.

About one month after the divorce, Olivia finds out that her husband, Bennet, was in a car accident and suffers from memory loss. He remembers their marriage but not their divorce and definitely not the events of him cheating on her.

past : Olivia and Bennet went through two miscarriages. The second one took a tole on them, and Olivia suffered from depression. She didn't eat or sleep or talk and she completely shut Bennet out; hurting him the process since he couldn't comfort his wife. He gets drunk and ends up in bed with another women.

what i couldn't understand was why he continued sleeping with his "mistress". well three more times!! I personally would've never been okay with continuing a relationship with Bennet but it takes two to tango. Cheating is a hard limit for me in real but Olivia did have her own faults through the relationship and i was able to look past it all towards the end. ( kind of)

I tried to hate Bennet. I reaaallly did. But i couldn't. He was fucking McSteamy (yes, not McDreamy)
This entire book was basically him groveling and trying to win olivia back while she took care of him after the accident. I could handle some of the things he said to her. His begging. His words. His fucking letter wrecked me you guys.

I know I’ve said it a million times while I’ve been alive, but maybe it means something in death.
I’m sorry I hurt you. I’m sorry that I broke you. Broke us.
I love you so much. Till death do us part, right? I’m waiting for you on the other side.
Maybe we can try this again in the afterlife?
Forever and ever,
Clarke


I think the only thing i was uncomfortable with was them solving their problems with sex. I loved the sex scenes. It was dirty and kinky and steamy to another level. But some of them could've been avoided. I also didn't like that they didn't have the most splendid communication at times.

But overall : considering the fact that i haven't conjured up 50 ways to bury Bennet alive....I call this a win.
