The Forgetting Vlog Review

Divergent meets The Giver meets Alive... with a healthy dose of The Purge. This odd little sci-fi dystopia is a book that will capture some people's interest over others. It focuses on solving the mystery of Forgetting which happens every 12 years, which is an interesting concept that provides a lot of opportunities for a good plot.

Summary
The Forgetting will remind you of several books, but it takes on a life of its own. The characters and romance are decent, but the plot is what you’ll remember 12 years from now, even if you don’t write it down.
Good
  • Genre mashup
  • Twists
  • Good villain backstory
Bad
  • Nadia forget to speak... A LOT
  • Villain does a lot of mustache twirling
