Forget Me Not by Julie Soto is 4.5/5 stars! 

Ama Torres is an up and coming wedding planner working for the clients of her dreams but she’s working closely with a grumpy florist that also happens to be her ex-boyfriend. Ama loves weddings but has a thorny relationship with love and marriage- her mom has been married almost more times than she can count. Being forced to spend time with her ex is bringing up lots of big feelings and things turn complicated fast. 
I loved this book so much! Elliot and Ama love each other so deeply, even if they can’t always vocalize it. I SO enjoyed the wedding settings, the beautiful flower descriptions, and the thoughtful support Ama and Elliot gave to each other. Ama is the perfect sunshine to Elliot’s grump. I’m a sucker for a grumpy male character and Elliot delivers tenfold! I listened to the audiobook and DEVOURED IT! Callie Dalton and Teddy Hamilton give perfect performances. I will say that the first half of the book was a little slow but imo the back half picks up and totally makes up for the slow start. I can’t wait to read what Julie Soto puts out next! 
also— this cover is everything! I’m obsessed and need to buy more flowers stat!!
