If I Forget You

by Michelle D. Argyle

One forgetful girl. Three guys. Can she remember one of them long enough to fall in love?Avery Hollister is a little more than absentminded. She has trouble remembering faces, names, and dates without her piles of lists and Post-it notes. When she heads off to college it takes her a week to realize the guy she's crushing on is, in fact, three different guys. With a faulty memory and three men who have no idea she's mixed them up, Avery doesn't know how to fix the mess she's made. But she knows she has to try, even if it means losing a love not even she could forget. **If I Forget You is clean, but does contain adult themes and issues.**

Um. I kept waiting for this to become cute, my interest fueled by Kasie West's recommendation. But I feel no sympathy for the forgetful Avery. A kind-hearted lovable and equally forgetful Dory she isn't. I don't like her aunt, who has held a grudge against her mom for 20 years. And I distrust the author for fooling me into thinking she might become friends again with her ex-BFF Tam. Tam's eyes softened! Of course I thought she was a kindred spirit. Talk about mixed signals. And it bugs me when the lead character thinks ill of her own friends. Better IF I FORGET YOU, book. Heh. Couldn't resist.

Okay, this book needs a new description that lets you know that it suddenly becomes dramatic and trigger warning for rape.

I picked it up because I liked the description of it. I'm forgetful, too, and could totally imagine myself thinking three guys were just one guy. (When I first started watching Friends, I couldn't tell Joey and Chandler apart for a long time.) And I like the eventual love interest. And it turned out to be set in Seattle, so that's fun.

But then a bunch of drama happened???? And the ending was kind of opened ended. SO I DON'T KNOW.

This book tore at my heart and is filled with emotion. I really enjoyed watching Avery experience her life and face her challenges.

I loved this book! It was light and enjoyable. I read it on vacation at the beach when I was very relaxed and I just adored Avery. She was a very likable character with her forgetfulness and her story was just what I needed at the time. The writing flowed smoothly, making it very easy to read every time I picked it up. If you enjoy a light-hearted romance with a flawed but likable character, this is a great story!

Hold the F*Bleep* back up. Did I just spend time reading this book for that ending. WHAT THE *BLEEEEEP*.

I liked it and cried a bit. But I thought the story got a bit out there towards the end and the ending was a but too open for my tastes.

This was my first New Adult book. And I’m just not sure it’s the genre for me. Nothing was wrong with the book per se, it just felt a little melodramatic for my taste. But I wasn’t disappointed either.

What a lovely little book. Okay, it’s not “little,” but the content made me feel like it is a child that needs nurturing.

The main character, Avery, a very forgetful young adult, is adorable. Though I could not really identify with her, I was able to imagine how I might have if I was in her shoes.

I’ve noticed some people have said in their reviews that she was an unlikable character. I think that is going too far. Sure, she was whiny, but that was the point. She was living a life in which she had to keep notebooks by her side 24/7 in order to be able live a considerably “normal” existence. That’s not whiny, that’s just realistic. I think I’d have had the same struggles had I been in a similar situation.

It was a good read. I recommend it for young adults who like a good wholesome clean book.

The story had such promise but I felt like I was just going through the motions reading it. Too much happened, too much drama and still the characters did not evolve at all. Avery was really unlikable and so selfcentered. Whiney and just that kind of heroine I have a problem dealing with. So no this was not for me.

I wish I could forget or recover the time I spend reading this back.

I have learn to say nothing if it's talking bad about something and these is the case. I spend almost a year trying to finish these book because it was, in lack of a nicer word, boring.

Heart Breaking, First Love, Loss, Amazing and a must read

Sweet story

I liked the story. Definitely different than anything I've ever read before. However I wasn't a fan of abrupt ending.

I've enjoyed this author before but If I Forget You did nothing for me.
