Forget Me by K.A. Harrington

 

Blurb from Goodreads
On the three-month anniversary of her boyfriend Flynn’s death, Morgan uploads her only photo of him to FriendShare to get some closure—but she’s shocked when the facial recognition software suggests she tag him as "Evan Murphy." She’s never heard of Evan, but a quick search tells her that he lives in a nearby town and looks exactly like Flynn. Only this boy is very much alive.

Digging through layers of secrets and lies, Morgan is left questioning everything she thought she knew about her boyfriend, her town, and even her parents' involvement in this massive web of lies.

4 stars
A well written suspense that will satisfy lovers of the genre. The mystery is thought provoking. The idea that we all have a doppelganger is intriguing. What would you do if the boy you saw get hit by a car was resurrected in another boy only a short distance away? Morgan certainly uses her brain and not just reacting with her emotions. I loved that she was careful and cautious about dangerous situations. I hate when the protagonist runs off and does something stupid because they just know in their heart that it is the "right" thing to do. Morgan is circumspect, but she is still tenacious at getting to the truth. Evan, of course, is adorable (who can resist dimples?).

The mystery was a little easy to figure out, but I think that's because I have read way too many suspense novels. I still enjoyed it. Knowing what was coming did not lessen my enjoyment. It is hard to believe how quick the read is because it is a layered and complex story. The characters really draw you in and make you care. Even the secondary characters are well fleshed out.

Harrington really writes conversations well. I loved the interaction between Morgan and Toni. Their relationship seemed genuine and real - just how I would picture a best friend being in high school. There was no competition between the girls which was refreshing. I've read too many books where the girls compete for a boy's attention. This modeled a positive relationship and was really a joy to read.

I really liked this book, and I am definitely going to be looking up more titles by this author.  There were a few expletives (maybe 5 total) and some kissing.
