IF I FORGET YOU simultaneously broke my heart and made me so happy. In the book world, it takes a lot for me to cry. (Whereas in the movie world, I cry all the time. I'm weird.) This book definitely got the tears flowing. I love Avery's character and related to her. While I haven't had a lifetime struggle with memory, some recent health issues did bring about foggy brain and difficulty remembering random things. I embarrassed myself many times with thinking two people were the same person, with forgetting the name of someone I knew very well as she talked right to my face, with racking my brain as to whether or not I had fed my kids lunch, etc. It's a frustrating and, at times, panic-inducing feeling. Needless to say, Avery holds a special place in my heart. I loved this story.
