Forget Me Not

By: Fern Michaels

Narrated by: Emily Durante

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels, beloved worldwide for her heartwarming novels, comes a story of family secrets, friendship, and second chances, as one woman is confronted with the shocking truth about her past.

Illustrator Lucy Brighton loves her work. Her animal characters Izzy, Bizzy, and Lizzy have their own comic strip, card line, and children’s cartoon, and their popularity has given Lucy financial stability and freedom. Yet none of that quite erases the lingering ache of a cold, lonely childhood. Sent away to boarding school at ten, Lucy spent little time with her parents afterward, and her few visits home only seemed to widen the gap between them. Even though she still lives in the New Jersey house where she grew up, Lucy has had little contact with her parents since they moved to Florida five years ago.

Then Lucy receives a call to say that her mother and father have been killed in a car crash. While settling their affairs in Florida, Lucy begins to realize how little she really knew about their lives. She has no way to explain the mysterious safe in their bedroom, with its cache of fake passports, cash, and weapons. Everything in the house is neat, scrupulously clean, almost too picture-perfect. What secrets were the Brightons keeping? Were they even who they claimed to be?

When Luke Kingston, the developer who helped build her parents’ home, calls to pay his respects, he and Lucy strike up a friendship that promises more. But before Lucy can explore a future with him she knows she must uncover the truth—even if it changes everything she once believed about her parents, and about herself.

Good Girlie Story

Nicely done for pleasant easy listening. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it for others.

Good story, AWFUL Narration

It’s such a shame that an author’s good work can be so decimated by terrible narration. Emily Durante is the worst narrator I’ve listened to. If I had to listen to her add a question mark on the end of statements one more time...I recommend this book to be READ, not listened to.

Good Romance

Interesting story line, but the romance was very predictable. This does not detract from the fun of reading this well written story.

It's just ok.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I have not read or listened to a lot of Fern Michael's books but this one seems real slow to develop. I found I had to concentrate too much to keep interested. The premise of the book caught my attention but I just couldn't stay interested. And I never related to the characters.
I felt my time would be better spent elsewhere. In fact I only made it half way through the book before I decided go return it.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I think I was put off by the narrator, something about her voice never held my interest very long.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No

Easy reading

I enjoyed this because it held my attention & had just enough drama. Cute story.

Light, Feel Good Story . . . Good Listen

Every once in a while I need an audio book just like this one . . . it just "hits the spot". It's not particularly deep . . . it's not exactly realistic . . . but it's oh, sooooo good . . . it's escapism at it's best . . . wish there was a sequel. Forget Me Not is a joy to listen to!

Too unrealistic

There really is not much depth to the story, Predictable, simplistic and not believable in too many places. Plus what is the title all about?

Enjoyed it!

This had a a good good blend in in it. It made me laugh out loud at times. I enjoyed the characters in the book and hope there will me more like it.

Voices need attention

Another winner. Great story line. Not keen on voices. Needs male and female voices. Thanks for the awesome audiobook.

Wrong title

Sorry but feel this was definitely the wrong title for this book. The characters also fluctuated too much for me one minute hard and uncaring then the next all mushy. I hated the performance of the parents and well it just seem to far fetched. The narrator just seem wrong for this book. Did some great voices and all but humm just not a good fit. Lucy the main character at the end was so different from the one at the beginning just threw it off.
