pickLinda has an unusual background and grew up isolated from society. That alongside her notoriety makes her a bit of shut-in. Until an alluring extrovert moves in next door. This is an interesting blend of near-future dystopia, mystery, and family story, exploring grief, mental illness, the meaning of family, identity, and social norms. It was interesting. Not great, but good.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 I applaud Oliva for creating a novel that tickles my cerebral side while still offering the exciting escape of an intense mystery! If you grew up abandoned by your mom, uncertain what happened to your sister, left to fend for yourself... and then everything crashes back. Full review ScrappyMags.com
pickI wasn‘t sure what to expect from this #NetGalley wish come true! My first experience with this author, I found the background here to be as intriguing as the plot itself- set in a not-too distant future where the pandemic is a part of history but there‘s an uptick in both public violence & technology. Linda, known as #CloneGirl, is out of the public eye & lonely- until a new neighbor moves in & their friendship urges Linda to learn the truth.
pickI really liked this story! The near-future setting in a world post-election and post-COVID is fascinating – not too “out there” as it‘s not too far in the future, but definitely different than the world we‘re living in today. I very much enjoyed exploring that reality for a few days while I savored Forget Me Not.

#ForgetMeNot
pick3.5 stars. I really enjoyed the first part. Learning about Linda and who she was. The pace was a little slow but very engaging.
The middle portion dragged a bit. Too much time spent in the virtual world, not enough in the real world. The ending was satisfying and exciting.
I thought the interludes with the Glitch Hunter game were confusing and unnecessary. The book makes more sense without them.
