Charlie & William first meet at a diner – they show up at the same time every day for a week, talking for hours. They never exchange last names. Until one day, William doesn’t show up.

Six years later, he does. At Charlie’s workplace. As her new colleague and team leader. While they try to stay apart & remain professional, that seems to be nearly impossible for both of them.

I knew this book was going to be a fav from chapter 1 🥰
Charlie & William have perfect, undeniable chemistry that jumps right off the page!

“You know in your heart we’ve been waiting to find each other again.”

There were so many unlikely run-ins for these two, but that just made it more special & fun.
There was also a lot more to the story than a romance – Charlie is such a beautiful character, with so many vulnerabilities. William is so supportive of helping her grow, in both her career and with her family.

The only thing missing for me was an epilogue – I just needed more!

Read if you enjoy:
⭐️ Second chance
⭐️ Workplace
⭐️ Banter
⭐️ Romcom
⭐️ Right person, wrong time
⭐️ Slow burn
⭐️ Dual POV/first person

Ama Torres loves being a wedding planner. But with a mother who has been married more times than you can count on your fingers, Ama has decided that marriage is not the route for her. But weddings? Weddings are amazing. As a small business owner, she knows how to match her clients with the perfect vendor to give them the wedding of their dreams. Well, almost perfect…

Elliot hates being a florist, most of the time. When his father left him the flower shop, he considered it a burden, but he’s stuck with it. Just like how he’s stuck with the way he proposed to Ama, his main collaborator and girlfriend (or was she?) two years ago. But flowers have grown on him, just like Ama did. And flowers can’t run off and never speak to him again, like Ama did.

When Ama is hired to plan a celebrity wedding that will bring her business national exposure, there’s a catch: Elliot is already contracted to design the flowers. 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. Add in a meddling ex-boss, and a reality TV film crew documenting every step of the wedding prep, and Ama and Elliot’s hearts are not only in jeopardy again, but this time, their livelihoods are too.

This dual timeline, second chance romance was unforgettable!
I was immediately drawn to is because – HELLO LOOK at this COVER 😍 and it did NOT disappoint 💜

In this book we have the love story of Ama and Elliot. Ama is a happy, sweet wedding planner, running her own business and landing a celebrity wedding that will bring her a ton of exposure. Elliot, her ex, is a grumpy florist that the couple HAS TO have design their flowers.

We get the present day chapters in Ama’s POV, showing what it’s like to be near Elliot again. Elliot’s POV tells us what happens in the past, how they first fell for one another and what broke them apart.

This book was different and refreshing – I loved how each POV was a different timeline.

What you’ll find in Forget Me Not:
💐 Second chance
💐 Dual timeline
💐 Grumpy sunshine
💐 Wedding planner & Florist
💐 Forced proximity
💐 Opposites attract
💐 Tattooed hero
💐 Dual POV/first person
