When the book Forget About It by Caprice Crane arrived in my mailbox, I got excited. The cover is this cool green cover. Loved the bandaid. Liked the idea of a contemporary romantic comedy. Problem was this book deadline of September 15th. Makes it kind of tough to do much other than writing. So, I asked for someone to read and review this one. Rachael stepped up…and did a fabulous job! Here’s her review:

_______________

Jordan Landau wants a do-over. Her life is crap. She’s 25 and has a boyfriend, but he’s a cheater! She has a family but all they do is criticize her. She has a great job but her boss steals all her ideas and takes credit for them. Jordan’s life is going nowhere fast.

After getting into an accident, she realizes this is her opportunity to start over! Jordan decides to FAKE having amnesia and become the assertive person she’s always wanted to be. This will give her the opportunity to dump her cheating boyfriend and stand up to her family and boss.

While faking amnesia, Jordan learns a lot about herself and others that she didn’t know before. Such as how people will lie to your face and try to take advantage of you when they think you have amnesia! Well no one is going to take advantage of the new and improved Jordan. Everything is working out and she couldn’t be happier. Faking amnesia even brings an interesting new man into her life. Out with the old and in with the new! Will Jordan be able to fool everyone with her amnesia or will her lies catch up with her?

FORGET ABOUT IT is a hilarious, fresh new story that will keep you reading all night. I enjoyed the first person narrative which gave the reader a closer look into Jordan’s life and thoughts. The subject matter of the story is so different from any other chick lit book that I’ve read. It was very original and so funny at times. I could see this book turning into a movie. The characters are loveable and will have you rooting for Jordan to have her happy ending. I devoured and inhaled this book in two sittings and would definitely recommend it to fans of romantic comedies.
