Forgotten.

Hello everyone, today I am doing another book review, Forgotten by Cat Patrick.
It's been a while since I have read a really, really good book, and this book has just broke the chain.I first saw this book in an advertisement page in a magazine, I thought to myself, 'oh that looks quite good' but I never really intended to buy it as soon as it came out. One day though, I was in Waterstones and I saw the book and remembered it from the magazine so I bought it.

The story follows around a girl called London Lane, and each night her memory resets so that the next day she doesn't remember anything. Although she does remember the future, she sees her future in flashes like we see the past.She gets along by writing notes and by the help of close friends and family members, but this all of a sudden breaks down.  She finds out that her mom and boyfriend are lying to her, and also her best friend isn't speaking to her. But soon she begins to break down and she doesn't have anyone to talk to.

I love London, I think she is really likable and it's nice to know that we find out about her past the same time she does. I think every character in this story has something nice about them.

SPOILER: The best thing about this book was the ending, it's a lovely ending to know that her brother is going to be okay, although Patrick leaves the ending very open so there could be a second book, even though Patrick said she loved the ending so much that she didn't want to ruin it.

Overall, I really, really loved this book, and it really made me think about the hard times people may go through around you, but you may not know it.
Story Line: ☻☻☻☻☻
Addiction: ☻☻☻☻☻
Genre: Quite hard to say, it has some mystery, some love...
