Done w this author for a while. Wondering if every story written involves wasting one’s romantic potential for over a decade. The description of this book as « funny, romantic, heartfelt novel » is absolute gaslighting.

« That’s the problem with my life: it produces too many anecdotes and not much else. »

And therein lies another problem with this book. The first half is rather disjointed and doesn’t make clear what path the story is taking. Happily, this is sorted in the second half, although I would have felt less traumatised by reveals had there been some effective foreshadowing.

I did not like this one. Long and mostly dull about a woman who turns 30 and is a little bit lost in her life: no great job, no great love, strained relationship with her family. She gets a job she loves but a boy (who she had a secret romance with in high school and who broke her heart) is one of the owners and he.....doesn’t remember her.

They form a bit of a friendship at the bar and she’s still in love with him but there’s not really enough to show me why she loves modern Lucas. He’s nice enough but most of their interactions are about Georgina and other actively terrible men she encounters. She flashes back a tiny bit to how she knew him in high school but we don’t get a ton there either.

There’s a lot going on about her personal growth and that’s all good and we watch her find herself and make some progress in self confidence. All good but I found myself skipping some of it and just wanting the whole thing to be over. Eventually she gets a happily ever after and I really wish that it felt more earned than it did.

As I write this if I didn’t walk into it thinking it was a standard romance I think I’d have liked it a whole lot more. ( )

I feel a tad misguided by the blurb/cover for this one—Don't You Forget About Me isn't a light, fluffy romance. It's more in the vein of women's fiction with some one-liners and funny bits, but also some weightier topics like sexual assault and emotionally abusive relationships. The female lead, Georgina, was also far more developed than the male lead, Lucas. I really liked Georgina, and thought her coming into her own and her reckoning with her past experiences was really well done, it was all just a tad heavier than I was expecting. Lucas, however, didn't get that much development beyond being a bit of a passive ass (and that's even when excluding his behaviour as a teenager, which was at least developmentally understandable).

Tl;dr: liked the characters and the humour, mostly; didn't find myself rooting for the romantic leads to get together. ( )

Georgina's having a rough go of it: she got fired from her waitressing job at the worst restaurant in Sheffield, then found her boyfriend in bed with another woman. Her family is on her case because she's 30 and still working dead-end jobs. And then, to top it off, she meets Lucas, her high school almost-boyfriend, and he doesn't even recognize her. When his brother offers her a bartending job, she doesn't want to turn it down, even though things might be complicated. Is it possible that the sparks are still there, or is it too late for a second chance with Lucas?

I liked the writing, characters, and setting of this story. It's a lot more about Georgina coming to terms with some of the things that have happened to her in the past than it is about romance, so don't expect the romance to be always at the forefront of the narrative. Georgina's friends are terrific and her family is believably complicated, and I found the ending satisfying. All in all, enjoyable for fans of this genre. ( )

Ugh. I saw what was coming, but it didn't make it any easier to read. McFarlane deals with some gritty topics in here and a part of me did feel like it was jumping on a trend, but it doesn't negate its importance. And gosh! It was a way to explain a distance in time that was believable and made sense (unlike in the Christina Lauren book I read last week) so kudos for that, too.

I really liked Georgina as a main character, and I adored her friends, and Robin was hilarious (as a fictional device, not in reality), and this was a lovely read. ( )
