What if every day when you woke up, you had no recollection of the days before?

Each night at precisely 4:33 am, while sixteen-year-old London Lane is asleep, her memory of that day is erased. In the morning, all she can “remember” are events from her future. London is used to relying on reminder notes and a trusted friend to get through the day, but things get complicated when a new boy at school enters the picture. Luke Henry is not someone you’d easily forget, but try as she might, London can’t find him in her memories of things to come.

When London starts experiencing disturbing flashbacks, or flash-forwards, as the case may be, she realizes it’s time to learn about the past she keeps forgetting – before it destroys her future.

Forgotten is the story of a girl who wakes up and can't remember anything that happen the day before except for what she writes down in her notes and her mom tells her. I thought it was a great concept and really liked the whole thing about knowing the future but forgetting the past. In the beginning, I was more than a little confused, and couldn't fully grasp the concept of her forgetting but not fully forgetting, but I found my way around the idea soon enough.

I liked London as a character, especially since she was so sincere and genuinely frustrated about everything that was going on in her life. Jamie, while portrayed as a slut, really was a good friend (at least in the beginning) and you could see what helped her through her problems. She definitely had me laughing and I believed her struggles the whole time!

Luke, I liked! Finally a love interest that doesn't start out like a total douchebag and is actually nice. I found their relationship, especially it's start, to definitely be believable, seeing as how well..that's how high school relationships work guys! Watching London's journey to discovering what exactly is going on with her while at the same time affecting the people around her made for a novel that I definitely couldn't put down! Cat Patrick is an author to catch.
