Don't Forget Me
by Victoria Stevens
2.5 Stars
I wrote a long, detailed critique of this but was interrupted before I got a chance to save it and it was lost. So this is going to be short and to the point. I didn’t like this book. I respect the author for writing about something that was very personal for her, but I didn’t think this book was well-executed. The writing was very simplistic (lots of telling instead of showing), the characters weren’t well-developed, and the characters actions made no sense to me. Also, we had several annoying tropes used throughout that contributed to my dislike:
1. Miscommunication as a plot device
2. True love cures all
3. Illness used as a plot device/plot twist
I don’t see myself picking up more from this author. I didn’t connect at all to the writing. I do understand why some would like this, but it wasn’t for me at all.
