Ok, so I have a small confession to make before I write this review. I read the synopses of the next two books in this series before I finished this one. The information in those synopses led me to believe this wouldn’t end on a cliffhanger, and I was misled!

I’ve had this book lingering in my kindle for a while and was feeling very dystopian the other day. It was a fast paced, futuristic, dystopian book that was my absolute bread and butter about 10 years ago. It’s been a while since I read a dystopian story that got me thinking as much as this one did.

If you enjoy Neal Shusterman’s concepts, you’ll love this series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow! Why did I wait so long to finally read this one. I have been itching for a good dystopian/sci-fi type read and this one fit the bill and then some. I finished this one in a few hours as I was enjoying the wiring, story and characters so much. The ending has me on pons and needles and now I need to go and find the next 2 books. Whew!

I sincerely appreciate Entangled Teen for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

A story that will reel you in and won't let you go!

I love a good YA that is dark and exciting! The entire story had me at the edge of my bed and I just could not get enough of it! Let me share this line from the description cause I don't want to spoil something and this is something you'll want to read for yourself. This line "In her vision, she sees herself murdering her gifted younger sister." just left me with my jaw on the floor, and because like I said earlier I LOVE A DARK YA SO I HAD TO READ IT and I'm sure this book will leave your jaw on the floor too!!

Thank You Entangled Teen for the eARC!!

This book has been in my radar for a while but I'd assumed it would be something about angels.... Because wings.
But nah...

<b> In a nutshell</b>
<p>Forget tomorrow centres around a community who upon their 17th birthday receive memories from their future which will determine the rest of their life (you are an aspiring runner and you receive a memory of out running Usian. Bolt... That kind of thing)
pretty convenient right? Alas, that's not how it is For Callie who's fate goes downhill as soon as she receives hers. She commits a crime and the minute she receives it she's to be incarcerated for life even though nothing has happened. Again seems convenient.</p>
<p>However, the People Incharge (I don't recall their name) they need to correct the ripple in time as they removed an element from future from happening.... And to do that... (Well I'll won't say so you can be a Lil horrified on your own.)
Oh and that's not all the Com Fuma, are trying to do more with Fate and the cost could mean a lot of lives are at stake to fulfil a scientific experiment to just ensure the superhuman live... While others don't...</p>

<b> The writing</b>
This will be long because I wasnt expecting a dystopian (reading one after like eons) to be so much fun.
This book surprised me with its writing, the pacing, the character building were really well done, I read a number of books where I felt everything either rushed through or meticulously detailed. The pacing and how the book begins hook's you right away and we get the characters background pretty quickly without having to go through pages of info dumping about their past.

Even when we are kept in "limbo" where we don't know if the character will remain where she is forever or if she'll get out of it, it s not boring even though her days are pretty much the same.
You come to care for the characters even the momentary ones pretty quick, and I really loved that aspect about this book, how well I connected with the characters.

<b> Stuff I didn't like</b>
It would get a bit too mushy gushy for me, nothing explicit (or I'm just very good at skimming over) but it could do with a little less of that.

The MC is obsessed about eyelashes... Like there are people with such long eyelashes... They tangle? ( Mine don't even curl right)

This book was all over the place, too many plot holes. The blurb idea seemed interesting, but the final book is just not what I expected. The characters where very lightly constructed, a mix of famous dystopian stories, yet I wanted to get into it but sadly this time traveling story is not up my expectations.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I totally loved this book. TIME Travel I love it! I was hooked from page one. One I finished I had to buy the rest of the books I needed to know more. I think this would make a great tv show .

That was a crazy read! What Calle had to experience with her sister. I need more! I can’t even put into words what I just read! OMG!!!!! I can’t believe it ended like that!

A very well-written and really well-executed book, with a strong plot, great characters and awesome pacing!

Set in a world not too dissimilar from our own, with technology that allows you to view memories from your future. This was an action-packed dystopian.

I love the family connections and relationships. And although I didn't agree with all her choices,t he female protagonist was an incredible kick a**! There was a perfect blend of future, romance and even humour. With an incredible setting.

A brilliant read for anyone looking for a fast-paced YA dystopia

This book just wasn't for me. I couldn't get into the story at all. It might have been the wrong time and I might try it again in the future. But for now I need to put it down.

I really enjoyed this! The romance was a bit quick at times, and there were plenty of scifi things I wanted more details about, but it was an enjoyable read.

Wow this book is so awesome. Read it so quick just because it's so great.
Everything I love about these types of books is in here. Futuristic stuff and dystopian and it's ya. Now with the future memories and arresting people before the crime happens does remind me of a movie I own and love Minoirty Report. In this book people get future memories when they are 17 that is suppose to lead them in their life. Now some are great and help out wonderfully. But some show them that in the future they do some criminal stuff. However instead of helping them change what they see, they arrest them without a need for help. For Callie it changes her whole world, because she see's herself killing her 6 year old sister. Callie doesn't believe she will ever do this. She runs off with the memory chip only to realize it's best to turn herself in. Just because she doesn't want that memory to come true. But as the government tries to find out what her memory is, she tries to change it. Because she finds out turning herself in may not have been so wise. She realizes some people have psychic abilities and the government scientists want those with that ability. Only Logan who knew Callie once can help her in changing the future.
So many things go on that you are shipping Logan and Callie and at the same time wanting to know more about the future memories. This book is a page turner, at least for me it is. Because you have these characters that are going against the present time and yet the future and trying to change the ripples so that memory doesn't come true for some.

I sadly wasn’t a fan of this book. It was boring and wasn’t my cup of tea. I just was never interested in picking I up after a while.

From the very start, I was drawn into this society in which Fate (i.e. future memories) dictated your life ahead. At the age of 17, all young people receive a future memory, and that's it. That's their life. No deviations, no exploring other options. The whole concept just intrigued me.

I think the highlight of the book was the characters and their connections with each other. Callie's love for Jessa was palpable and made me think how much I love my own little brother. I loved the flashbacks and snippets of insight into their life together, as they really brought the relationship to life. I could understand the motives underpinning each action Callie took, despite not always agreeing with them, because who she was was so clear to me.

Another relationship I could feel from the very beginning? Callie and Logan's. The leaves??? They almost broke me. I felt like every scene with these two had meaning or built the relationship more. Nothing was superfluous. Certain moments did things to my insides, made them squidge up and spin around and generally bounce all over the place.

"And then, his hands touch my face.
I die. That one brush of his fingers against my cheek, at once tender and aching, slays me. I didn't know a kiss could be so exquisite."

I died, too.

Finally, I want to mention the plot. Amazing. For the most part, it was thrilling, though there was some drag about halfway through. But there were also quite a few unexpected twists. Loved it. Except that I didn't completely love it because it kept doing things to my heart.

I'm out of words now. Just read the book.

Oh, boy. Okay.

The writing for this book... was not good. That, I think, would be the source of the problem. It physically made me want to shrink away from my kindle--it affected me that much.

More than that, it was the characters, the world, the romance. Everything felt flat and so, so boring. I was expecting more sci-fi, but I got dull characters who fell for each other almost instantaneously and then made huge decisions based off those feelings. There was absolutely no substance to *anything*. By the end, nothing felt accomplished and I felt cheated.

Have you ever experience any book hangover? Because I did. I know I just finish the book last night and I still couldn't put it off from my mind and that being said, I could not move to another book. Yet. As I told you in one of my posts last month, I wanted to read a fantasy, sci-fi books, right? Here I am reading such an amazing book. I love the book very much.

Forget Tomorrow is set in a futuristic world in which all human are going to receive a future memory on their seventeenth birthday. It's a new technology set in Boom era. The memory they receive is a snippet of what is going to happen in the future, what are they going to be - a successful artist? a chef? But the worst thing, the future memory tells them - you're a criminal and that leads them to go to prison right away even though, they have not yet committed the crime.

Unfortunately, Callie receives a snippet from her memory commit a crime to her sister. After what she saw in her future memory she ran out to the forest with her crush, Logan but somehow she surrenders herself and goes to the prison. Not long after she been to prison, Logan comes to the rescue and bail her out from the jail, bring her again to the forest where there is a small community live somewhere in the forest hiding from the government. It is called as a Harmony. A community filled with people who have the same fate as Callie.

My emotion when reading the book is unstable as I was scared of what will happen to Callie - is she going to commit the crime as she seen from her future memory? Seeing her struggle to live her day after what had she saw is hard. Because we are talking about 17 years old girl who is so young!!! Even though I like Callie's character but somehow I find her a but somehow I find her a bit annoying because there is a teeny tiny bit of she being so stubborn and quite annoying but I guess.... that's forgiven.

All in all, it is a wonderful book set in the futuristic world makes me yearn for more. I need to what is going to happen to her sister? What is happening to Callie? As the ending of the book leave you hanging. I guess I'm going to find out all that in the next series. If only, the book exists in our local bookstore that would be amazing. Sadly, no.

I'm glad that Entangled Teen gave me the chance to read and review such an amazing book and I'm so happy my friend, Rafael also gives me the book as a gift. Thank you!

Rating: 4.5/5

I received an eARC of this book via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.

Forget Tomorrow by Pintip Dunn is the first in a trilogy of books about a world in which our future is certain and every decision is based on the memories of that future. This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read, though I’ll admit it reminds me a little of the Tom Cruise movie Minority Report. It’s fast-paced and action-packed, full of twists and turns right to the last word.

The book opens on Callie Stone’s Memory Eve. The next day her life will change. She will turn 17 and receive her future memory. Every person in this society receives their memory and it determines the path their life will take. Jobs are based on it, going to a good university is based on it. Everything in your life is based on this snippet from the future. So naturally Callie is nervous. I would be too. Her memory is horrid. She sees herself killing her little sister.

I like Callie. She is a fierce character who refuses to give up and believe that her destiny is to kill the person she loves most. She fights her fate. She loves with her whole heart. Her downfall though is her secrecy. She doesn’t trust many people. Her sister is special and she has to protect her. Callie has spent her life protecting her and keeping others at a distance. Old habits are hard to break.

Logan is perfect. I loved him from the moment Callie began remembering him. He’s kind, loyal to a fault, and will do anything for the girl who loves sunshine. But he has a big secret, one I had guessed before Callie realized it. It made me love him more. And the leaves….*swoon*

The plot of the story revolves around Callie and her future memory. Her future has been torn from her and everything she’s dreamed of doing is gone. There’s only one thing she can do, and that’s run from her fate, get as far as she can from her sister and then she can’t kill her. However it’s never that easy. The more Callie learns about her world, the more she realizes that sometimes the future can’t be changed. I loved the world-building! This futuristic society mixed with the Underground (a secret rebellion) and the wilderness community Harmony made for an exciting, fresh read.

Overall I really enjoyed Forget Tomorrow. I couldn’t sit it down and finished it in one sitting. Callie’s story hooked me from the first word and left me reeling at the end. The romance was sweet and swoon-worthy without overshadowing the dystopian/sci-fi plot. If you enjoy dystopia, I highly recommend you grab a copy and make some time to read it one go because you won’t want to sit it down either!

This book was not what I expected. The cover is lovely and the synopsis sounds interesting but I just could not get into this story

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Wow! Forget Tomorrow has left me a little speechless (Que sitting, and thinking for 30 minutes before continuing with my review). It has been a while since I've read a dystopian novel. I find them to be the most emotional genre of books. This one was really really good, and I couldn't put it down. It reminded me of Divergent in a lot of ways and would say if you like Veronica Roth's book you will like this.

A memory from the future can set your fate for a lifetime, but what if that memory is bad. It's Callie's 17th birthday, and she is about to receive her futuristic message. She's nervous and wants to spend her last day without the knowledge enjoying what she has. Her little sister is gifted, and her family must avoid her being detected. Her sister, Jessa can predict the future but only seconds in front. A little guessing game on the way home from school can't hurt, right?

Logan's brother was gifted too, but they took him away. He has been a shell of his former self ever since. A few days after getting his future memory he sees Callie in the park with Jessa. They haven't spoken since the day his brother was taken. Now he wants to reconnect but at what cost?

Can fate be changed? Forget tomorrow is the first book in a series of books the 3rd book is due out in September. I have been lucky enough to receive an ARC of this series.

If you like dystopian novels then you will like this one. It follows the usual pattern. Dystopian- an undesirable society with a glimpse at hope. This book has romance and an ending which will leave you wanting more.

5 stars out of 5.

Forget Tomorrow is a fast paced dystopian novel, that takes us on a wild ride concerning questions of fate, free will, and the ultimate question of whether we can control our future.

So it may be clear if you know me well, that from the premise I would be bound to be drawn to this book. I am such a fan of dystopias, and this one sounded even better – memory and questions about the future and fate? A no brainer. I was not disappointed and this premise remained strong throughout the whole book, making us question what we knew about the world.

Dunn gives us great characters, who are moving, in a fabulous way. Callie cannot possibly understand how she could have a future where she kills her sister, but there she has it, the elephant looming in the corner. Because of this, her whole world is threatened, along with her sense of self, so in the book she tries to figure out who she is. I read Girl on the Verge, Dunn’s most recent thriller, and that had an elaborate plot, but this one just excited me even more. Maybe it was the dystopian setting, but there was intrigue and suspense and political movements. It was like a complex machine being put together in front of your eyes and even in the end, it’s still not completely done. I am so excited for the sequel, because it seems even better!

From a perspective theme, this book is gold. Not only do we talk about the concept of our fate, but we have a society obsessed with futures – remind you of any you might know? Everything is about setting ourselves up for our future vision, so that we can work everything to achieve that vision.
