Welcome to my stop on the Don’t You Forget About Me blog tour sponsored by TLC Book Tours! Thanks to TLC for the invitation!
My Thoughts:
Georgina has a rough day. I mean ROUGH. She loses her job and comes home to find her boyfriend cheating.
She finds a new job as a bartender in a pub, but it’s run by a guy, Lucas, from her past. The worst part? He doesn’t even remember her.
Maybe Georgina and Lucas have a chance together? Because wouldn’t that be the best kind of kismet?
Don’t You Forget About Me is sooooo much fun. It’s zany, smart, and edgy, and I loved Georgina. I could imagine this whole thing as an 80s movie, and I loved those campy things.
Overall, Don’t You Forget About Me isn’t listed as a rom com, but it should be. It made me giggle out loud, and Georginia’s such a clever character I couldn’t help but love her.
I received a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
About Don’t You Forget About Me
• Paperback: 432 pages
• Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks (September 10, 2019)
“Don’t You Forget About Me is one of those books I couldn’t put down. Crackling with energy and wit, I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud. Mhairi McFarlane’s voice is as clear as a bell—she makes you laugh, but she also makes you feel. I adore her!” — Sally Thorne
Internationally bestselling author Mhairi McFarlane delivers a funny, romantic, heartfelt novel perfect for fans of Josie Silver or Sally Thorne, and anyone who loves Bridget Jones!
You always remember your first love… don’t you?
If there’s anything worse than being fired from the lousiest restaurant in town, it’s coming home early to find your boyfriend in bed with someone else. Reeling from the humiliation of a double dumping in one day, Georgina takes the next job that comes her way—bartender in a newly opened pub. There’s only one problem: it’s run by the guy she fell in love with years ago. And—make that two problems—he doesn’t remember her. At all. But she has fabulous friends and her signature hot pink fur coat… what more could a girl really need?
Lucas McCarthy has not only grown into a broodingly handsome man, but he’s also turned into an actual grown-up, with a thriving business and a dog along the way. Crossing paths with him again throws Georgina’s rocky present into sharp relief—and brings a secret from her past bubbling to the surface. Only she knows what happened twelve years ago, and why she’s allowed the memories to chase her ever since. But maybe it’s not too late for the truth… or a second chance with the one that got away?

Personally, I’ve always found that when I’ve accidentally bumped into an old boyfriend years later, I find myself being thankful for a lucky escape! Mind you, I expect that’s what they feel about me too… 😉 Sounds like fun!

Wow I’m surprised this isn’t classified as a rom com because it feels like it could easily be a plot for a rom com book or movie! Seems like a fun read!! Also, can’t complain that I hear Simple Minds “Don’t You” when I read the title! 😂
