SO MANY THINGS! This book was great! It was like a puzzle and I loved it!!! Some of the build up and background slowed the story but, it was necessary. I absolutely couldn’t put this one down and I loved it! The topic of cult-ish grooming was very interesting and it had that Manson-esque way about it. Such an intriguing story!!!

Stacy Willingham does not miss when it comes to thrillers, and Forget Me Not is no exception! Claire Campbell has spent decades trying to forget the night her sister disappeared, but when a call from her father drags her back home, the past refuses to stay buried. She stumbles across a diary that just might be linked to her sister’s case. And let’s just say, once Claire starts digging, she realizes some secrets were meant to stay hidden. This book is creepy in the best way, and is one of those thrillers that will have you second guessing everyone!

Thank you, St. Martin's Press, Minotaur Books for providing the copy of Forget Me Not by Stacy Willingham. I always look forward to a new book by Willingham because her impeccable writing never fails to immerse me in the story and the characters. I loved how Claire finds her job at Galloway’s Farm and gets embroiled in a decades-old mystery, and how realistic her guilt about Natalie is. I didn’t think I could love a book as much as I loved A Flicker In The Dark, but Forget Me Not blew me away. There were so many shocking reveals that I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the next surprise. If you only read one thriller this year, make it this one. You won’t be disappointed, and it will draw you in from the first chapter. 5 Stars

📚Forget Me Not - Stacy Willingham📚
📖 5/5
Stacy Willingham has done it again folks. I honestly didn’t think she could top A Flicker In The Dark but here we are. . . She just doesn’t miss.
This one really draws you in from the first page and you just don’t know what’s going to happen next.

This thrilling story unfolds in alternating point of views both present and past and the reader wonders how its all going to tie together. We start with our FMC Claire who has returned to her small town for the first time in over a decade still trying to come to terms with the loss of her sister. She disappeared out the window one night with a duffle bag never to be seen again. Our second POV is diary entries from a teenage girl from the 1980s, the more of the diary Claire reads the more the story starts to sound eerily familiar. 

I can honestly say I was on the edge of my seat, desperately devouring this one to figure out what had really been going on at Galloway Farm all those years ago, and how does it connect to Claire’s missing and presumed dead sister?!?

Galloway Farm was the perfect backdrop for this culty thriller and the author did an amazing job of describing its picturesque landscape setting the mood for the story that was unfolding.
This one hits shelves in August and I will be recommending it to anyone and everyone who asks for book recommendations this summer. While you wait pick up one of this authors other amazing thrillers to tide you over until this one is released.  

Thank you Netgalley, St Martins Press and Minotaur Books for approving me for this ARC. This was one of my most anticipated books of 2025 and it hit the mark!!!

Another wonderful read by Stacy Willingham! I absolutely loved everything about this book. It really blew me away.
