Listen. All the world forgets me. First my face, then my voice, then the consequences of my deeds. So listen. Remember me. My name is Hope Ardern, and you won't know who I am. We've met before - a thousand times. But I am the girl the world forgets. It started when I was sixteen years old. A slow declining, an isolation, one piece at a time. A father forgetting to drive me to school. A mother setting the table for three, not four. A teacher who forgets to chase my missing homework. A friend who looks straight through me and sees a stranger. No matter what I do, the words I say, the people I hurt, the crimes I commit - you will never remember who I am. That makes my life tricky.

Terrific. Even better than The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, something I hadn't imagined possible. What a great writer! ( )

This is not a fantastic fiction, but fantastically boring. I was constantly hoping for a better continuation and it was never realized. ( )

not sure how to categorise this story. enjoyed the plotting and characters, especially with the constantly-changing alliances, the good guy becomes bad, and vice-versa... wasn't a huge fan of the writing style, where a fair amount of the internal first-person dialogue was free-form. using it once, maybe twice, ok. using it all over the place, obnoxious...

the "rules" for the main character seemed consistent throughout, had me wondering what i would have done in similar circumstances... ( )

4,1 stars

It took me a month to read this book, which sums up why this wasn't a five star read for me.

I enjoyed the plot and I think the themes in this book were fascinating while quite creepy in their plausibility. (I have serious misgivings of having ever installed Facebook Messenger on my phone, for one thing.) The characters seemed real enough and Hope's condition was described convincingly. I did have a hard time relating to (or even empathizing with) Hope, though, which might have been intentional on the author's part. Or maybe not.

The one thing that I had most issues with, is also one of the good things about this book, and that was the writing style. Hope has lived her formative and adult years without any emotional connection to anyone, and in order to keep herself sane, she has constructed her consciousness to be made up of lists, and mantras, and trivia. And this was portrayed heavily in the way the story was told. While I understood what North was trying to convey with the writing (and she did succeed as well, to an extent), the stylistic decisions were so dominant that for me, they kept pulling me from the story, making this a very, truly, incredibly slow read. Even more so because the plot was quite interesting, so it's a feat in itself to make this lack any sort of pull.

I think I would have enjoyed this more had the book been around a 150 pages shorter.

However, this was a good book in the end, just maybe not something I was in the mood for right now. (And it definitely did not measure up to Harry August, which I should never have measured this against to begin with.) ( )

What do you do if nobody in the world can remember you unless they’re currently in contact with you? You become a jewel thief, obviously. Well that’s what Hope Arden does anyway. Her latest target is a member of the royal family in Dubai but her way in has just taken her own life after suffering from depression when she feels the way her life is going following suggestions of the new app called Perfection. It doesn’t just want to make you better, it wants to make you perfect. So in a fit of pique, Hope decides to steal the jewel that she’s after at a big launch party and in doing so upsets a few people.

Another really good read from an author who I’ll now have to add to my favourites list having rated at least 3 books at 4★'s+. This one examines social pressure and fitting in with the expected norms especially from the social media perspective. Also looks at identity through a lens of someone who can basically change theirs every time she meets someone even if she’s met them before. While I don’t think there’s any remarkable revelations, I do like the main character and the pacing of the story. While it’s not going to be a book for everyone it does fall nicely within my purview.

Forget Me Not was a prepublication title for The Sudden Appearance of Hope and I assume some members have not updated their records to show the actual published title. I think therefore that these are the same book.
