Description

“Don’t You Forget About Me is one of those books I couldn’t put down. Crackling with energy and wit, I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud. Mhairi McFarlane’s voice is as clear as a bell—she makes you laugh, but she also makes you feel. I adore her!” — Sally Thorne

Internationally bestselling author Mhairi McFarlane delivers a funny, romantic, heartfelt novel perfect for fans of Josie Silver or Sally Thorne, and anyone who loves Bridget Jones or Fleabag!

You always remember your first love... don’t you?

If there’s anything worse than being fired from the worst restaurant in town, it’s coming home early to find your boyfriend in bed with someone else. Reeling from the humiliation of a double dumping in one day, Georgina takes the next job that comes her way—bartender in a newly opened pub. There’s only one problem: it’s run by the guy she fell in love with years ago. And—make that two problems—he doesn’t remember her. At all. But she has fabulous friends and her signature hot pink fur coat... what more could a girl really need?

Lucas McCarthy has not only grown into a broodingly handsome man, but he’s also turned into an actual grown-up, with a thriving business and a dog along the way. Crossing paths with him again throws Georgina’s rocky present into sharp relief—and brings a secret from her past bubbling to the surface. Only she knows what happened twelve years ago, and why she’s allowed the memories to chase her ever since. But maybe it’s not too late for the truth... or a second chance with the one that got away?

    Oh my gosh! I’ve never give a book one star. This was such a disappointment. It’s so slowww. I skimmed a lot of pages that were time wasters. I only kept reading because I had already invested in it. I kept waiting for it to get good and that only came in like the last three chapters! Be ware!

  • One of my favorite reads of all time

    I never write reviews but I love the way she tells stories and stories within stories and the characters are like dear friends. I’ve snuck off to read this book over the last few days and hated to put it down. I will miss it now for sometime. She is a genius.

  • Love it!

    CW: sexual assault! This book is what happens if someone internalized the “Cool Girl” passage from Gone Girl and then proceeded to live in the real world (as much as a fictional character can), which made it brutally relatable. It’s about the expectations and desires that can lead victims of SA to question their complicity, and it’s also about dealing with the shame that can follow - all of which sounds super heavy. But for a story that doesn’t make light of the issues involved, it is a very light-hearted read. It’s ultimately sweet and lovely, which is why Mhairi is a must-buy author for me. +10 for a woke Book Husband -2 because I wanted a LITTLE more heat and interaction between them (but given the larger themes, I’m not that mad about it).

  • Didn’t meet my expectations

    I don’t know what I was hoping this book would be, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations. It definitely had its funny moments, but I found it to have entirely too much dialogue and soliloquy’s. To the point where I was skimming pages trying to figure out when the long dialogues would come to an end, so I could reengage. While I really liked the young versions of Georgina and Lucas, I never really fell in love with the characters as adults. Perhaps this book would be better served, as a movie, but either way, I didn’t love it.
