Authentic and Uplifting, Forget Me Not an Enjoyable, Empathy-Inducing Read
7:01 AM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
It's hard enough trying to fit in when you're constantly the new girl, but when you have Tourette Syndrome (TS) to boot, it's pretty much impossible. Calliope "Calli" Snow knows this only too well. After her mother's latest breakup, the two of them land in St. George, Utah. Even though she knows she shouldn't, Calli dares to hope this move might be different. Maybe this time they'll stay in one place for longer than a month, maybe this time she'll be able to make a friend, maybe pigs will suddenly sprout wings and take to the air ...
When a strange girl dressed in weird clothes with golden hair streaming down her back moves into his apartment building, Jinsong P'eng finds himself very intrigued. The more he gets to know Calli, the more he likes her. But being friends with someone like her—someone who dresses funny and acts like a freak—is social suicide for a popular guy like Jin. Can he really afford to take that risk? This isn't the baseball field; it's real life. Will he stick his neck out for the vulnerable new girl?
