I enjoyed “Forgotten” by Cat Patrick while reading it, but as it came to an end, I found myself disengaging from the plot line. Ms. Patrick is a very talented writer and I hate to put a negative vibe out there because as I said, I did enjoy “Forgotten”, but the plot line was very ambitious and I just feel like it was missing…something. I’m not quite sure what that something is though. I enjoyed the ride and would definitely recommend it despite this weird hang up of mine.

“Forgotten” is such an interesting read and as I mentioned before, an ambitious concept. I really enjoyed watching London unravel her past without being able to access the memories locked in her mind. Ms. Patrick’s writing is splendid. She took on a lot with this novel and I think she handled it quite well. I fell in love with the characters and the romance between our heroine and Lucas. It’s just SO sweet. I absolutely love friendship based romance and this one is delightful. The book started to lose me towards the end, partially because I wanted to stay focused on Cat and her life rather than on the conflict presented. It wasn’t like Ms. Patrick’s writing wasn’t engaging (I cannot emphasize enough that this book is so well written!). I don’t know why… I’m just a weirdo.

Seriously, this book is really interesting and a great read for anyone who enjoys a good psychological drama and/or romance. It is unlike any other book on the market right now so read it for a complete change of pace. I’m sure you’ll love it!

Have a nice day,
Sara

But I could have just been distracted by the things that were annoying me. Your comment above about not quite having his kindly travel style is right on, I think.

I am failing at my other book club’s book, the Poisonwood Bible.

Food + books = priorities :)

Sometimes I think I have a hard time speaking language like that in my own head properly. Lowman did an excellent job narrating it.

I was like “aw” and felt longing when you described where you went. The tour of Alcatraz was really cool. I didn’t end up going into City Lights but I saw it across the street while we heading to an Italian restaurant in the North Beach area. We were all very hungry. But I was okay with not going in. I found a really nice bookstore in the Marina district where I bought a couple of books.

So I’m happy to be vindicated! Lush is just the right word for the language.
