✨ BOOK REVIEW ✨
If you need a palette cleanser, this is the book for you.

Meyer gets a call one day that her ex-husband crashed his airplane and she is his emergency contact. She goes to see what's up and it turns out he lost his memory. The last two years (including their divorce) is just gone.

The writing in the book was so-so. I didn't really connect with the characters. Some of the parts were repetitive. BUT, this book is a nice breezy read to stuff in between some thrillers/heavy books. Is this a memorable book? Imo no. But it's still cute and fun.

Thank you to @netgalley for my advanced e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you @netgalley for the arc of this book.

This was such a fun and breezy read. I haven’t read an amnesia trope book before and I really enjoyed this one! To me it was a mash up of a second chance romance, forced proximity and enemies to loves and I am so here for it.

The characters were relatable and likeable, the plot was believable and had many laugh out loud moments between Meyer and Archie.

If you’re a faced paced, quick read, rom com loving reader then this book is for you.

Thank you Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op and NetGalley for e-ARC of the book.

The story begins when Meyer Dunmore receives an unexpected phone call from a hospital, claiming that her husband was in an accident. Things get complicated quickly, because it turns out that her ex-husband was in a plane crash, and now he has amnesia and mistakingly believes that they are still married.

This book was a captivating and relaxing read. Many of the situations convinced me of their realism and pulled me into the writer’s universe. I liked Carina Taylor’s sense of humor and writing style. I would like to read more of her books.

My thoughts:
Likes - This book had a really interesting, unusual and hilarious story and I just fell for it. I felt so sorry for Meyer and the position she was in when her exhusband moved in with her again. I was so curious to see how she would solve the impossible situation. It was a very sweet second chance romance and it was easy to get stuck in the story. If you want a light and a quick rom com then read this one.

Dislikes - The issues that I had with this book is that everything felt kind of rushed. Especially Meyer's feelings. I didn't feel that she was upset or angry for how her exhusband has treated her. She forgave him too easy. Also the love between them felt kind of off. There weren't any romantic scenes in the book that convinced me that they really loved and cared for each other.

For some weird reason, I couldn't put this book down?? I'm saying "weird" because it honestly wasn't the best rom-com I read but the premise of the book was pretty interesting so it really sucked me in. This took me about a day to read with classes and stuff so it's clear to say that it is a pretty easy read.

I think the overall plot was very interesting but the characters didn't get as much character development as I would have liked and everything was resolved so quickly. Meyer, the fmc, apparently had problems about being too closed off and staying in her comfort zone but those issues were not explored enough so it didn't feel like there was an issue to solve. The same goes for Archie, the mmc. So, the reason they got divorced didn't really convince me, their story didn't feel believable enough. Maybe, if we had more flashbacks from their fights it might have been more convincing. Overall, I felt like there was some good potential for character development but the story fell too short.

About the writing, while the first-person POV threw me off a bit in the beginning, I got used to it so it wasn't a big problem.

An easy romance read with a good and interesting plot but definitely needs improvement.

I really enjoyed this. This was so cute, so sweet and perfect for what I needed in the moment. The romance had me gushing and blushing and I had numerous jitters as I read. I absolutely adored this!

This was such a quick and easy read. I enjoyed the story a lot and also could sympathize with Meyer a lot, she’s such a likeable character.
Is this story genius? No but it’s still such a nice and cute little story to read. I enjoyed it very much and can recommend it, also the authors writing style is so easy to follow.

Highly recommended for those who love to read adult romance with a second chance trope!

This is a very light read, with good pacing, loveable characters and great writing style.
The amnesia part was intriguing, I wouldn't know what to do either If I was ever in Meyer's position.

I really enjoy this second chance love story of Archie and Meyer! I love their chemistry and it can be seen that they are good for one another - all those bantering and flirting are sweet and hilarious!

Meyer and Archie are the type of "Right Person, Wrong Time" couple. But, their divorce and the time away from each other actually help them grow to be a better person.

While I love this book, although I have one input to add. I wish there's more flashback chapters to show the life they had that led up to the big fight and then the divorce.

Overall, this is still a lovely quick read with a sweet epilogue at the end. Definitely one of my favorite second chance story!
I'm really looking forward to read more books from this author!

Thank you to Netgalley, author and Victory Editing Netgalley for granting this review copy to me. I'm leaving this honest review voluntarily!

An interesting read!
I liked it. I had my doubts going in but ended up liking it a lot.
An unputdownable read!

This was delightful! Normally, I am not a fan of the amnesia trope, but this was fun. It was a clean, feel-good romcom. I will definitely be reading more by Carina Taylor!

Forget Me Twice was a really easy breezy read that you'll enjoy (hopefully!!) in only a matter of hours.

This was a second chance love story that had me rooting for them from the start, I loved how much the MCs seemed to grow during their time apart and time together again. Overall I thought it was sweet and steamy and just what I needed.

What a fun premise!
Meyer Dunmore gets a call that her ex-husband is in the hospital and has lost all of his memory of the last two years, including the fact that they got divorced. It's a second chance romance that has the setting/dynamic to be great, but it just falls flat. There's somehow not a ton of tension and suspense and the characters were pretty two dimensional.

ARC ebook via Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op .... Thank you so much for the request approval, I absolutely Loved this second chance story of Meyer and Archie!!! 🥰

Within the first chapter I was already laughing. I really enjoyed that this book had me laughing so much! It was needed more than I knew.

Why do I love Archie so much? He’s so sweet, kind, thoughtful. Everything you’d want in a husband, in my opinion.

This was such a great, easy, quick, enjoyable read. It was funny and overall a really lovely book.

If you’re looking for a quick romance read that is actually good, this is it! I read this in one sitting.

I really related to Meyer and her fears getting in the way of her relationships and life in general. I also admire how both Meyer and Archie could own up to their mistakes and turn their relationship around. I can also really appreciate Archie being there for Meyer through her struggles and vice versa!

Forget Me Twice is about the second chance romance between a divorced couple.

Meyer and Archie were married and now they were divorced. Now Archie is back in Meyer's Life because he’s been in an accident and he has amnesia and the doctor recommended to Meyer to not tell him the truth.

He remembers that they were in love and they were happy. I like that Meyer keeps her boundaries even if she wanted to be with Archie. I loved that Archie fought to be again with Meyer and he gave her time and space to make her decision without pressure.

I really loved the characters Archie and Meyer and how they worked together to become again a couple and to understand each other.
.
I loved the concept of this book and I enjoyed reading about their relationship. I loved this sweet romance.

Rating: 4,5 stars

The story is about Meyer and Archie, who are now divorced after an incident that happened two years ago. The story starts with Meyer getting a call from the hospital, that her ‘husband’ has been in a plane crash. She thinks it’s funny since she isn’t his wife anymore, but apparently he had named her as his emergency contact. Upon arriving at the hospital she finds out that Archie is suffering from post-traumatic amnesia (PTA). He has lost two years of his memory, and he still thinks they are happily married. The doctors urges her to take him home and pretend that they are still married, until he gets his memory back.

Why did I love this book so much? First of all, Meyer has a cat called Gatsby! I’m kidding, that’s not why. The whole pretending to still be in love part was hysterical! The author has written the book very well. I haven’t read a book with this trope before, and the amnesia aspect was also well written. I don’t believe that in real life the doctors would have urged anyone to take their exes home though, but it was fun nontheless.

I would recommend this book to anyone who’s looking for an amazing and well-written romcom, cute second chance romance and nosy neighbors (I loved Margaret’s character)! I cannot say anything else without spoiling.

-- Minor spoiler on why I didn’t give it 5 stars --
I wasn’t too pleased at first when she found out that he had gained his memory back, and wanted to fake the memory loss for a while longer. But since Meyer overheard the whole scheme, I thought it was very funny!

RATING
⭐⭐⭐
3 out of 5.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
When Meyer Dunmore gets a phonecall from the local hospital informing her about her husband's accident she's rightfully confused. She hasn't been married for a year now, and her ex lives in another state.
Nonetheless she has to check out the poor guy, as it seems the accident was a bad one.
Just how bad?
Quite.
Archie doesn't remember the last two years of his life. Amnesia after trauma is supposedly normal, but their situation is most definitely not. Meyer faces a doting husband in the form of her ex, who has to be kept out of the loop, otherwise his scattered brain could get more tangled.
What's left to do?
Meyer and Archie have to play house together once again.. and this undoubtedly will lead to complications of the heart.
Question is: will he remember?

REVIEW:

Meyer and Archie's story was a true romcom, with interesting plots, funny, scheminc characters, unbelievably goofy happenings and just all around feel good vibes.
Meyer had funny inner monolouges, Archie was a goofy heartthrob, while the sidecharacters' bickering and teasing was laugh out funny.
I really enjoyed how the MCs got to learn to be around each other again, we did not jump into any love-fest. I would suggest it's more of a chick lit book simply because of this, the main focus wasn't the romance. But don't fret, we got enough romantic moments, small touches of heat, etc.
The book doesn't explicitly discuss any sexual activity. But there is a great grand gesture, which reminded me a lot of some favourite movie romcom scenes of mine.
My only issue was the sometimes non-expressive prose, which for me is kinda hard to get into, and the repetition of character names in the same sections.

TROPES FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE:
- second chance
- marriage troubles
- romantic comedy

This book was very sweet. This trope for me is a little complicated for me, this is how it goes, Meyer and Archie were married and for the past 2 years they were divorced. In those 2 years she has grown as a woman, changed her career and then she gets a phone call that her ex-husband suffered a huge accident. This accident left him with temporary amnesia, and he doesn’t remember the last 2 years of his life, so pretty much he still thinks that he’s married to Meyer. This whole situation shakes up her whole life. But while they are living together trying to help Archie out, they discovered things about each other, they have shown growth within themselves, and they also confronted the reasons to why they left their marriage. This book is very touching, and how powerful it is to communicate, to take accountability, and to never give up, and its ok to try again. Thanks Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

This book has such an intriguing premise! I love second chance romance and it was interesting to see how that was affected by amnesia.

The character growth in this book is so well done! I immensely enjoyed seeing how Meyer and Archie learned about themselves and about each other. The side characters are delightful, and Margaret and Gatsby were my favorites! There are plenty of laugh out loud moments, as well as sweet moments of reconnection, which I loved.

The innuendo was a little more than I expected, but I also realize that the romance was between a couple who had been married. There were a few phrases that felt more crass than I prefer when reading, but I also understand why they were there. The romance is closed door, which I appreciated!

4.5/5 stars!

Content:
Mild swear words
