Forgotten Cat Patrick Books

*reviewed by Sophie*

I love when friends recommend books. You know, those really good friends who know your taste in plot lines and character development so well that you automatically pick up their recommendation without hesitating? When Stacie over at Whimsical Fic-ery tweeted a rec about Cat Patrick's Forgotten, I ran to the bookstore and picked it up right away.

And I knew to expect a really well written story. First off, I love a protagonist that is unsure, confused yet determined. Imagine being London for a moment. All you have to rely on, for your memory, is a series of notes left by you from the previous evening. I adored these notes. I couldn't even imagine not being able to remember the nuances of the little, everyday moments I find so important. Unfortunately, that's all London has. Well, she also has her best friend, Jamie, and London has the ability to remember things that will happen in the future along with one very dark memory of her past. This link to the past sets up a mystery and I found myself just as curious as London to find out the links between the memory and her present situation.

But in all of this there is a rather pleasant diversion, a romantic subplot featuring a sweet boy named Luke. What Cat does with this subplot is, well, amazing. I can honestly say that I didn't expect the turns it took. Here's a sample of Luke and London from early in their relationship (page 75):
We drive back to school in comfortable silence and walk inside hand in hand. Just before parting ways in the middle of the commons, Luke, turns to face me.
"Want to go out on Saturday night?"
"Yes," I say, maybe before he's even finished his question. I grin at him and he laughs at me.
And then he moves closer.
I hold my breath, considering that Luke might kiss me right here in the middle of the commons. Just as I'm deciding whether or not I can kiss with an audience, Luke, staring intently into my eyes, raises a hand toward my face. Slowy, softly, he rubs his thumb along my jawbone. I'm hypnotized by the most perfect kind of touch. Oddly, it feels even more intimate than a kiss.
"Talk to you later," Luke whispers, before breaking the trance and heading off in the direction of his next class.
"Bye," I breathe after him.

Okay, see? Luke is THAT boy. Hot and adorable and always there when London needs him.

This book has all the necessary ingredients of a good story - great characters, a plot that evolves naturally and keeps you interested and a narrator who believes she can change her future by knowing more about her past. So, when you see Forgotten on your favorite bookstore's shelf, pick it up. I have a feeling that you will love putting together the puzzle pieces of London's life as much as I did.

Forgotten Cat Patrick Books Reviews

While London Lane sleeps, her day is erased and while she's awake she experiences flash forwards. She remembers what she's seen that will happen and forgets what already happened... unless she writes it down.

When I started reading this book, I had to read certain sentences and even paragraphs over again so I could be clear. By the time I got to page 30 I got the gist of what was going on with London. This teenage girl had a lot to deal with, especially when what she called a `dark memory' came. I wasn't sure, though, why the author used phrases like `forward memories' or `remembering the future'. Why not call it premonitions or psychic or even prophesy? I guess that doesn't really matter, but since memories are about `past' happenings I was just wondering. But then again, if London could only remember the `flash forwards' without having to write them down, they were the only memories she had.

What I thought about most as I read this story is how much I liked Luke. I'm sure there are teenage guys who wouldn't be as understanding about London's `memory issue' as Luke was. He was a mature young man with a good heart. London was an interesting character and I felt for her, because it took a lot of work for her to live her life. She had to keep notes; lots and lots of notes. When it came to `the present', reading was remembering. I was not happy with her, though, when she lied to Page. What she told one classmate could have started lots of trouble for another.

I don't believe London's friend, Jaime, was really angry with London, but feeling guilty about the choice she made. Why would she think her `friend' would go along with what she was doing?

London's mother, Bridgette What she kept from her daughter, she should have told her. Not the entire story right when it happened, but later when London was old enough to handle the truth.

This book about a girl with `memory issues' turned out to be a `mystery & suspense teenage love story' that had me concerned for certain characters and kept me guessing. I didn't expect all the twists and turns!! The ending left unanswered questions and I would like to know what happened next. A sequel would be nice, but if there won't be one I'm fine with drawing my own conclusions.

Cat Patrick's story is a well-written, page-turner!! Forgotten would make a good television movie. I'd set my DVR so I could breeze right past the commercials and enjoy the show. Very nice debut!!!
I loved the premise of this book. 16 year old London's memory resets every night and she can't remember anything that happened, but the twist is she can see her future just fine and of those around her. I mean imagine not knowing your past but knowing when someone close to you will die or how there life will end up like. I also found it interesting how she kept up with the details of her life, by writing notes down on what happened each day and things she needs to remember. Although it did get tricky for her when she chose to leave things out and forget things on purpose.

Forgotten kept my interest for the most part, especially when dealing with her memories, the mystery behind the graveyard and who's funeral it could be and of course her relationship with Luke which was not always easy, also why I can say I really did like Luke because he was not willing to give up on her and was just an all around good guy.

I really did enjoy the book for what it was but it was no life changer or anything. There were a ton of plot holes left open. At the end of the book your still left with a lot of questions. I would like to know if London ever regains her ability to remember the past or what happens in the future between her and Luke. And then the mystery aspect of it which was pretty huge in terms of how it affected her but it seemed that it all happened too fast when there could have been more time spent on it going more in depth about the situation. Not to mention we learn that "mystery situation" is the reason for her memory defect but we get no answers on how she is able to see the future.

Overall this was a fast paced read, I loved the memory loss aspect of it but it just annoyed me how certain things weren't fully explained in the end.
