This isn't some flashy thriller packed with crazy twists; it's a slow-burn kind of story, the plot unfolding through good, old-fashioned detective work. What you see is pretty much what you get, but honestly, I think that vibe really fits the whole mood of the book.The heart of **Forget Me Not** by Stacy Willingham really lies in the mystery of the missing sister and the story that's slowly brought to light. The writing is vivid, the setting is fantastic, and I loved piecing together what happen...

Oof. I usually really enjoy Stacy Willingham's books, but *Forget Me Not* just never managed to grab me. I feel like her stories are typically slow-burn, and this one was too… but on top of the pacing (I prefer faster-paced thrillers), the entire plot just bored me to tears. I might try to pick it up again tonight, but I’ve got a stack of books I’m behind on.
