A book about a man getting amnesia and told through multiple points of view sounds super confusing however this book was anything but. It starts with our character Will having to have a medical procedure that will wipe Ava, his girlfriend, completely from his memory. At first he is unsure but being that is the only way to possibly cure him Ava encourages it and he goes a head, but not without making her promise that she won't tell him a secret that he has previously learned. I loved this story because it was very interesting seeing the characters reconnect and see the hardships that they went through but also Ava having to keep this deep secret from the man she loves. I was trying the whole time to find out what the secret was before it was revealed. I loved the characters because there wasn't any bad guys in this and the plot points etc were not don't out of malice they seemed to be done out of love. This book really drew me in with trying to figure out what the big secret was but it kept my entertained just watching our two characters fall in love all over again. I didn't like how I was able to find out the secret very easily in beginning however it still made for a great read. I loved they way that this book was written and I'm very glad that I got the chance to check it out it was everything I was craving in a read, a story line that doesn't let go with lots of emotion behind the plot. Check out this book for sure if you haven't already.

In The Girl You Forgot, you meet Ava and Will, and the question is, is their love strong enough to overcome the effects of brain surgery where Will loses his memory? Will is diagnosed with a tumor and the only way for him to survive is to have an operation in which he loses his memory of the most recent years. The premise to this story intrigued me and overall, I liked the story. Though. there were events with Ava that made me question her true love for Will. and some of Will's actions were a bit childish. But it was nice to see the characters grow up by the end.
Thank you #Netgalley for this ARC.

The Girl you Forgot is about Ava and Will as they maneuver through a traumatic event in their life. On top of this, a secret is making it even more difficult for Ava to go forward. It is a secret that Ava will do anything and everything to keep secret from Will.
I found myself drifting off while reading this story. Yes, there are heartbreaking moments. Yes, there are heartwarming moments. The story just didn’t keep my interest. I will try to reread it and see if I like it better.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book for my honest opinion.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.
Ava’s partner Will is diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour. Will is given one chance to survive by the doctors, BUT this operation means that Will loses his recent memory.

Ava, pleads with Will to take the chance, saying that she’s sure that she can cope with Will forgetting her.

But, both are keeping a heart-breaking secret, if Will has the operation, he won’t remember it and that means Ava will have to carry that secret alone.

Will they be able to rebuild their love from scratch or are the those secrets and their past come between them??

If Will has the operation is Ava going to be a stranger to him when Will wakes up, or is it true that the heart never really forgets.

Thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it.

This book is based upon an interesting premise. Is it worth losing seven years of memories to save your life? Should crucial information be withheld in order to seemingly make the memory loss more palatable? What I found interesting is that Ava was so hard on others not telling the truth when she in fact was withholding information that was life changing for Will. There is no doubt that her and Will were in love. However, I found that only when they came back to each other was it mature love. Ava was quite immature in how she handled work and friendships. She grew up in this book. I also was glad that Will regained his creative muse in music. I would read a book about their next chapter together.

A long time ago, I read Little Miracles by Giselle Green and I absolutely loved it. I've read a few of Giselle's other novels, but they haven't been as good to me. So when I saw she was back with a new novel, fortuitously around the same time I started blogging again, I had to read it. The synopsis sounded incredible.

However, The Girl You Forgot did nothing for me, sadly. I liked the idea, but the execution was far too slow for me. And as much as I understood Ava keeping secrets from Will, because Will ASKED for her to keep secrets from him, it just seemed wrong. Like how can you build a relationship with someone who's forgotten their memories when you're keeping massive, massive secrets from them? I didn't like it.

I got half way through and I had just had enough, the novel felt like it was going around in circles. If it had been a bit more tight with the editing, a little less wordy then perhaps the novel would have worked because it would have gotten to the big reveal quicker, but at that point I just wasn't interested, sadly. I took an educated guess and then I skipped to the end to see how it ended.

What would you do if your boyfriend of three years was diagnosed with a brain tumour but an operation to remove the tumour would also mean he lost his short term memory? This is Ava’s dilemma. If Will has the operation and forgets her, can she convince him to fall in love with her again, and will a promise she made to him come back to haunt her?

An excellent book with an emotional storyline which was a compelling read.

“The Girl You Forgot”, by Giselle Green (Boldwood Books), centers on an unusual, original theme – amnesia after brain surgery – and tackles the profound changes two individuals in a romantic couple have to go through so that love can survive.
I found the premise fascinating, and Will’s struggles and feelings of anxiety and depression are realistically depicted.
Perhaps the story focus on this general subject is excessive, with a tendency to overdramatize, and the delivery on other dimensions was somehow lacking: the story was too long and dragged, the characters were a bit vague in terms of physical characterization, conversations were often dull and involving secondary characters I just wasn’t interested in.

Enjoyed this book! Heart wrenching story of a young couple Will and Eva, who have to come to terms with difficult decisions and secrets of the heart. How will they overcome their issues? Captivating read.

What a very emotional book. Loved the story line and cant wait to read some more by this author. Was really pleased that i got the opportunity to read this book before release
