I received an ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

Forget Me Not by A. M. Taylor presents a compelling narrative, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. The premise of the book is intriguing, and the overall plot holds promise, yet the execution left me wanting more. One of the biggest drawbacks for me was the predictability of the mystery. I quickly figured out "who did it," which dampened the suspense and tension I was hoping to experience.

While the story had its moments, it did tend to drag in parts, and I found the abundance of characters overwhelming. At times, I struggled to keep track of who was who, which made the story feel unnecessarily convoluted. Despite these issues, the writing was strong, and the author did a great job of creating an atmosphere that drew me in. Overall, I enjoyed the book, but I had hoped for a more engaging and thrilling experience.

"Forget Me Not" by AM Taylor was a good story but didn't quite meet my high expectations. The pacing lagged at times, and the numerous characters made it occasionally confusing, yet I still found it enjoyable.

Ten years ago, Nora disappeared without a trace. On the anniversary of her disappearance, her younger sister Elle is found murdered in the same location where Nora's car was abandoned. Maddie, Nora's best friend, remains haunted by the loss and is determined to uncover the truth. The ending felt rushed and somewhat predictable, but overall, it was a satisfying read.

I really enjoyed the book. Loved the story plot and twists. Approachable characters, realistic situations. Some descriptions or story „fillers” were tiny bit too long, but in overall - very good book and I’d read more by the author. Thank you, great job!

Sorry this book was just not for me. I found it quite unbelievable and a bit boring,

Thanks for the advance copy

I would firstly like to thank Netgalley and the publishers for allowing me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

A first time read from this author, and if I'm being completely honest - a fairly average read overall. The book as a whole wasn't terrible, but nor was it particularly fantastic.
Hoping for more from this author's further reads.

Unfortunately this book was not for me, it was a bit slower than I would like and it just didn't hold my attention. I am sure other people will love it!

Another new author for me. I love discovering these tallented new authors. This turned into a really interesting read.
There is so much wrapped up in this book that it really does grab you in to those pages. It makes it something you really want to continue to read and then don't want it to end.
A dissapearance that confused everyone, what did happen to Nora on the night she went missing.

"Forget Me Not" kept me guessing until the very end! The novel follows Maddie, a woman in her 20's as she struggles to deal with the death of her best friend's sister. Ironically, Elle is found dead at the age of 17, exactly 10 years to the date that her older sister (and Maddie's best friend) Nora was killed. A.M. Taylor weaves an incredibly suspensful tale. I definitely hope to read more works by this author.

I found the book very slow going which meant that I skipped parts because it was just dragging along. The novel was well written though and the plot interesting but I just couldn't get into it

I enjoyed this book very much. Sure, it wasn’t action packed or fast paced but I enjoyed the slow burn. Well written as always.

Forget Me Not was a book that I had high expectations for, and it did not disappoint. Some of the twists were predictable but that wasn't a fault of the books. It was gripping, thrilling and everything I needed to read.

This was a pretty solid read and would give it 3.5 stars. At times slow and a little confusing, but push through because it's worth it. In my opinion more of a mystery than a thriller and crime buffs will enjoy trying to figure out where is Nora Altman. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for providing me a copy in exchange for my honest review.

I wanted to love this book due to the publishers blurb sounding great but that is their job right? This book is about friendship and how one of the friends goes missing. Maddie wants to find her friend Nora at any cost and continues looking for her for years. Something strange happens that sets back the case. Nora’s sister is found dead in the same spot that Nora went missing all of those years ago. This sounds great right? The problem is that the story moves at the pace of a snail. Just when you think you might be getting somewhere, it stops... dead in its tracks. I wanted this to be one of my favorites. Maybe someone else might find it a great read but I read so many books a week that this one took about that long for me to finish it.


Thank you to netgalley as well as the author/publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

This was very disappointing. I could not get in to it at all, and I did try. Not for me I’m afraid. Life is too short to continue with books you don’t like.

This wasn’t a bad read at all. I had never heard Of this author before but the blurb for this book Interested me. Yes I enjoyed it.

This was one of the slowest moving books I have read. I kept reading on, hoping some excitement would occur. It wasn’t until 60% into the book, that I was was somewhat interested. There is a lot of fluff to wade through to get to the interesting part of the book which is unfortunate because it could have been summed up in a few sentences. Maddie returns home to her small town in Wisconsin for the 10th anniversary of her best friend’s disappearance. The case has gone cold, but most people assume her friend Nora was murdered. The day of Nora’s disappearance and the day after the memorial service, Nora’s younger sister Noelle is found murdered very close to where Nora’s abandoned car was found. It took 60% of the book to set that up for the reader. I found myself skimming through portions of the book. The ending had a somewhat interesting twist, unfortunately it was not worth reading through the rest of the book.

This was honestly just a basic thriller. It didn’t do much for me “thrill” wise. I might see if the author has any other books and try those out.

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…?
This book is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell. The writing in this book reminded me so much of a recent Lisa Jewell book that I read, which I equally enjoyed
The book was a great debut novel.
It did lack the "suspense" element that needed to rate the book higher. I really enjoyed the writing style and will look out for more by the same author.
