Synopsis
Jordan Landau is having a bad life. At twenty-five, she is attractive, smart, funny and talented. But all that doesn't keep her mother from calling her fat, her boss from stealing her ideas, and her boyfriend from cheating on her. Day in and day out, she sits back and watches as everyone walks all over her. Then one day while riding her bike home from a particularly awful day, Jordan collides with a car door and is knocked clear off her bicycle. Coming to in the hospital, Jordan realizes she has a perfect excuse for a 'do-over'; she vows to fake amnesia and reinvent herself. And it works. Finally, Jordan is able to get the credit she deserves at work, and she stands up to her family and her jerk boyfriend. She's living the life she always dreamed of--until the unthinkable happens. Suddenly Jordan must start over for real, and figure out what really makes her happy--and how to live a truly memorable life.
Reviews
For those who read Stupid and Contagious, the previous book from Caprice Crane, will be delighted with Forget About It. The chance of being able to do-over your life, is what everyone wants. But the concept of faking amnesia to do so, is hilarious, not to mention very difficult. The characters in this book are smart, quick witted, and some of them just plain mean. But we all know that backstabbing coworkers, jealous sisters, cheating/lying ******* boyfriends and crazy mothers, aren't that far from reality. I love that Jordan stepped out of herself with the amnesia, to grow some backbone and not let people step all over her. It's funny that she didn't have the courage before, but with the amnesia is like a newfound confidence took over her. And it's actually very true. We all need something to make it ok to be ourselves and not be a doormat. Overall great book, as of course, is very obvious. Caprice Crane delivers another great story.
