Forgetting Aiden
Twenty-two-year-old Eva Flores can’t escape the ugly voices inside her head that scoff at her dreams of winning an Oscar. Of course, she’s grateful to be the most followed actress and singer on social media as well as Hollywood’s “Whitest Latina.” But that doesn’t stop the online trolls and “cele-betches” from attributing her successes to ex-boyfriend and country star, Aiden Press. She’s eager to prove that the only man she needs in her life is one with golden chiseled abs and a big black base. Yum.

Happy Release Day to Forgetting Aiden by Juliet Picard! I loved this story because of who Eva is as a person and how she balances her life in and out of the spotlight. This book follows her to therapy, the recording studio, auditions, and filming in a way that gives a backstage pass to Hollywood. The incorporation of social media also shows what it's like to be the person receiving hateful messages about decisions that were right for her. There is also a powerful message about how women can be seen in the media, as Eva struggles to be known as Aiden Press' ex over and over again.
Speaking of Aiden, he is a big factor in this story as well. Eva breaks up with him after his drinking gets too accessive and she sees a photo of him in bed with a model. And after that, a lot of positive things happen to her. She is asked to record a song with Xavier, who she starts a relationahip with, and she is cast as the lead role in an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, directed by Hollywood's favorite director. However, when she walks in to her first day of filming and finds out that Aiden is playing the lead, Eva has to work hard to keep her professional image positive.
I don't want to give too much away because this book is out today and I want to give you a chance to read it on your own. I will say that Eva's story has a few twists and turns in it that make you question whether or not someone in the spotlight can have their own life or if everything is Hollywood is scripted.

Getting over the guy who has broken your heart big time, while everybody wants a piece of you. Would you be able to put on a brave face? Forgetting Aiden tells the story of Eva, who just got out of long-time relationship. She wants to move on, but can she forget her ex Aiden?
Eva is a very successful twenty-two-year-old actress and singer, who just loves her career. Her personal life however is a bit of a mess. Eva has broken things off with her boyfriend of six years. Not that she fell out of love with Aiden, but his antics and stupid decisions became too much to life with. Newly single Eva has all the freedom in the world but getting over Aiden isn’t as easy as she thought it would be.
Eva is a strong and proud young woman. Yes, she’s still sad and angry about how it all ended with Aiden, but she’s ready to move on. Not just from him, but also to take the next step in her career. I feel sorry for Eva that she lost her Aiden, but I’m happy she doesn’t dwell on it. She goes on with her life (with a bit of help) and tries to forget him the best she can. Seeing Aiden again however, makes Eva question everything.
Forgetting Aiden is Juliet Picard’s debut book. She isn’t a stranger to writing, but this is her first full length romantic story. It’s told from Eva’s point of view, giving her side of all the events. It leaves me curious for Aiden’s side of the story, because for him it must have been a difficult period as well. I like the characters and the story, it is an entertaining, naughty read. My only ‘problem’ with the book is the ending; there is so much going on. And for me, that took away from Eva and Aiden. I wanted to read more about them finding their happy, more about them being a couple again.

“I’m just afraid of building space between us. What if he changes his mind about us? What if I do? What does “us” even mean?”

“Juliet died without her Romeo, and I know I would too. Thankfully, in our romance film, both Romeo and Juliet lived to see another day, as did we.”
