Review: Forget Me Not

Forget Me Not by Alexandra Oliva
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When Linda was little, she lived on a rural piece of property in Washington.  She knew nothing of the outside world and she didn’t know that the only reason she was alive was to replace a sister who died years before.  It is now years later.  She had been “rescued” from the only home she knew and was expected to transition into the modern world.  There may be technology to keep everyone connected, but Linda still feels isolated.  Who wants to be on social media when everyone already has an opinion about you?  Will Linda’s new neighbor be the ticket to finally making a friend?  After a fire at her childhood home, what truths will Linda find out about herself and her family?

 

Forget Me Not is a stand-alone novel that sounds like it would be great but left me feeling like pieces of the story were missing.  It is hard to classify this book in one genre.  Some might call it science fiction and others might call it a mystery.  Either way, it is not an average read.  The overall storyline was fascinating and I enjoyed slowly learning about Linda and her past.  Even with that being said, it had several sections that just dragged on.  This would be a good read if you don’t have anything already planned to read next.
