Review: Forget Me Not by Julie Soto

We love a grumpy sunshine pairing and Forget Me Not is the ultimate one. If you love a character who doesn’t believe commitment is for them? Even better. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts.

Summary

Ama Torres loves being a wedding planner. But with a mother who has been married more times than you can count on your fingers, Ama has decided that marriage is not the route for her. But weddings? Weddings are amazing. As a small business owner, she knows how to match her clients with the perfect vendor to give them the wedding of their dreams. Well, almost perfect…

Elliot hates being a florist, most of the time. When his father left him the flower shop, he considered it a burden, but he’s stuck with it. Just like how he’s stuck with the way he proposed to Ama, his main collaborator and girlfriend (or was she?) two years ago. But flowers have grown on him, just like Ama did. And flowers can’t run off and never speak to him again, like Ama did. 

When Ama is hired to plan a celebrity wedding that will bring her business national exposure, there’s a catch: Elliot is already contracted to design the flowers. Things are not helped by the two brides, who see the obvious chemistry between Ama and Elliot and are determined to set them up, not knowing their complicated history. Add in a meddling ex-boss, and a reality TV film crew documenting every step of the wedding prep, and Ama and Elliot’s hearts are not only in jeopardy again, but this time, their livelihoods are too.

Review

(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)

Forget Me Not is a delight. Florists, wedding planners, and disasters strike. It’s perfect for fans of second chance romance, work place romances, and grumpy meets sunshine. I ended up reading this in a few days I was so in love with Ama and Elliot. There’s nothing better than a grump who is super protective of you. It’s a character type I will never get over. So Forget Me Not is a charming romance which also examines love and commitment.

I adored how much Ama made lists, her brain felt similar to mine! It’s such a great combination of character which are vivid and practically jump off the page. Forget Me Not is also full of delicious and terrifying tension. With chapters in the past and dual perspective, it’s ripe with angst, emotion, and simmering history. My heart went through the whole roller coaster of emotions in Forget Me Not. And if you love this perfect mix of tropes meets wedding disasters and planning?

Of seeing the ways that our lives will change and how love can be fragile. Find Forget Me Not on Goodreads, Storygraph, Amazon, Bookshop.org, & Blackwells.
