Publisher Description
A wedding planner and her grumpy ex must work together to plan a celebrity event in this deliciously spicy and funny novel from Ali Hazelwood's "favorite writer."
Ama Torres is an optimistic wedding planner who doesn’t believe in marriage. But weddings? They’re amazing. Elliot Bloom is a brooding florist who hates owning a flower shop…until a certain bright-eyed, donut-loving workaholic shows up at his door.
Once upon a time, they collaborated on events by day, and by night, Ama traced the intricate flower tattoos etched along his body. Then Ama shattered his heart and never spoke to Elliot again.
Now they’re working on an event that could make or break both of their careers—except neither of them has gotten over what happened two years ago. Things are not helped by the two brides, who see the obvious chemistry between Ama and Elliot and are determined to set them up, not knowing their complicated history. But as the wedding takes on a life of its own, Ama and Elliot are about to discover that some things can survive a complete catastrophe . . .
Smart and hilarious, Forget Me Not is about two people giving themselves—and love!—a second chance.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Forget Me Not is a feel-good story about how it can take more than one big day for true love to bloom. Wedding planner Ama is ecstatic when she lands a gig working for a famous influencer. The only catch? She only has seven months to pull off an epic event that’ll be broadcast on reality TV. And did we mention that Ama’s cranky ex, Elliot, will be doing the floral arrangements? But as the pair teams up to help their business grow, their undeniable connection begins to take root again. As their high-pressure job brings out both the best and worst in them, Julie Soto perfectly captures both characters’ charms and draws us into the story of why they didn’t work out the first time around. We couldn’t wait for the two to just kiss and make up already!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A commitment-phobic wedding planner stars in Soto's tender but bumpy debut. Plucky and ambitious Ama Torres will do whatever it takes to provide the perfect party for her clients, but after witnessing her mother marry and divorce 16 times, she no longer believes in lasting relationships for herself. When a big-time influencer couple choose her to plan their wedding, Ama is thrilled about the exposure—until she discovers that they've hired her former fling Elliot Bloom as their florist. The ensuing second chance romance between Ama and Elliot offers beguiling moments of both tension and tenderness, but Soto over-relies on some unconvincing cursing to convey their chemistry, especially in the many steamy scenes (" ‘Fuck,' she moans against me... ‘Oh fuck!' "). Hiccups with the nuptials add a whirlwind of drama to proceedings, but the secondary characters go frustratingly underdeveloped and, outside of the romance plot, the dialogue becomes superficial. Still, fans of the grumpy/sunshine trope will swoon over surly Elliot, who prefers plants to people but whose good heart shines through his crankiness, and Ama proves easy to root for as she learns to open her heart. It's not perfect, but Soto shows promise.
