In a whirlwind of fate and flour, Skyler Drewitt finds himself in a cookie baking class at the Halloween-themed and supposedly haunted café, Boo-kies & Scream.
His only reason for being there is his friend's persistence that he find a hobby, along with the gift certificate that happens to include an unfairly attractive instructor. Despite being immediately drawn to the gorgeous pastry chef, Oran, Skyler feels utterly hopeless. He's terrible in the kitchen and will only serve to make a fool of himself…Until he discovers that the two men share the exact same tattoo in the exact same location. Skyler can't help but feel even more drawn to him, now convinced that fate has brought them together and soulmates may be real after all. Especially with the increasingly strange bouts of déjà vu he randomly gets only around Oran.
Skyler realizes he's rapidly falling in love with Oran, even if the man is a little peculiar and his obsession with all things ghosts is a little strange.
Ohhh this beautifully devastating book, oh how it destroys me every time I read it. This is my second re-read of it since I had the privilege of reading the first draft earlier this year, and I can wholeheartedly say that it hits just as hard as it did the first time.
No words can describe how special Forget Me Not is. I have NEVER read anything so bittersweet and uniquely original as this novella.
Every little detail is so beautifully intricate and crucial to the conclusion of the story, and even as I read it again, I’m still noticing tiny yet such impactful details that I didn’t pick up on until now.
I can tell with each detail just how much the writer adored creating this story with all its stunningly complex yet lovable characters, it truly does show.
This is one of those books that I know will be an instant classic for me. One that I am so gonna read again, and again, and again every year during this time.
Talk about the perfect read for the holidays if you want your heart brutally ripped out only for it to be lovingly and gently put back together and stitched up again!
(p.s. listening to the official Forget Me Not playlist during or after reading this novella is a MUST! it really solidifies the agony and pain, but also the unadulterated joy you will feel after finishing it!)
