What an absolutely SPLENDID romcom!! I whole-heatedly adored every moment of this sweet second chance romance❤️ I was a bit nervous going into it as I’ve never read a book with the amnesia trope before, but Carina Taylor made this novel totally non-cliche and wove some really great central themes into the plot line.

What I loved most about this story was seeing Meyer learn to start standing up for herself. One of the thoughts Meyer has in the book is “I’m learning the importance of no and the power it has.” I really appreciated this character development because it is something I too struggle with.

And y’all, the ROMANCE. What do you do when your hubby who broke your heart a year ago starts acting like a happily married and totally in-love hubby due to amnesia? READ TO FIND OUT😆😍😍 Archie has some off-the-charts swoony moments in this book and I was HERE for it👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I mean, the kitchen scene…😍🔥 I can’t say anymore, other than READ IT FOLKS!!

And I simply can’t end this review without talking about 87 year-old meddling Margaret. Margaret MADE this book. There’s something about a small town matchmaker that just DOES IT for me!! You can’t read Margaret’s lines without bursting into a giggling fit. I DARE YOU TO TRY🤣

Also, Gatsby’s shenanigans were a GREAT TIME!! I’m now reserving the name Gatsby for a future pet because I just loved the way it sounded!

Solid 5🌟 romcom!!

🚨CW: closed-door romance with light/no language!!! Very clean!

This book has a clever and unique premise - - for a woman to be left caring for her ex husband when he develops amnesia and doesn't remember they're no longer married. It's definitely a complication that no one could have foreseen.

Meyer was left behind when Archie left town following their divorce. She was heartbroken but is trying to move on with her life. Then he's back and she's being told to let him "remember" naturally and to not tell about his memory loss. Of. course, spending so much time with Archie isn't good. It only serves to make Meyer punchy.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I voluntarily chose to read and review it and th opinions contained with in are my own.

This was an easy, fast read that I breezed through in a sitting. It's a really good premise for a book and I think it could be better if it was dual pov.

I have not read a lot of the amnesia trope so this is a welcome. I enjoyed Archie and Meyer's story. You can feel the love they have for each other but still, they needed to get a divorce in order to realise it again. But unfortunately, Archie had amnesia. So they had another chance to work on their issues.

Read if you enjoy a second chance romance!

Meyer and Archie thought they said goodbye forever after finalizing their divorce, that was until they came crashing back into one another’s lives. After a year of seemingly blissful separation, Archie crashes his plane and suffers from amnesia - forgetting the last two years of his life. With Meyer still listed as his emergency contact, she quickly gets pulled back into the past - caring for a husband who was now technically her ex.

Would this provide them with a second chance, or simply an opportunity to relive the past?

Review Insight: I would have enjoyed greater buildup in the story line. The reason for the breakdown of their marriage was lacklustre. While undoubtably a creative premise, both of the main characters were quick to forgive. I would argue things are not as black and white in a real world reconciliation.

Constructive criticism aside, author Carina Taylor did a fantastic job drawing you in from the start - making this a great weekend read. Written from the perspective of Meyer, the banter between characters was absolutely light hearted and enjoyable.

If you are looking for something to break up heaver reads, this will certainly put a smile on your face!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

When I say I devoured this book, I truly mean it. I spent my Sunday afternoon loving this romance story between the formerly married couple - with the husband suffering from amnesia and believing they’re still together. There were funny and heart warming moments which I totally loved too.

Synopsis:
Archie broke Meyer’s heart when he left a year ago. Meyer is called to the hospital to get Archie from the emergency room. As a result of a plane crash, Archie has amnesia and lost two years of memory and thinks they are still married. No memory of their divorce. With his mind in such a fragile state, it was advised that it was best to heal on its own. Meaning Meyer also has to live in the past along with Archie. What’s a girl to do with an amnesiac ex-husband at her breakfast table?

Thoughts:
A cute and light hearted second chance romance. It is a single narration by Meyer and I love that we get to see her struggles with caring for the man that she tried so hard to forget. It emphasizes the highs and lows of relationships and how communication is key to making it work. I would’ve loved to see more depth to the issue that lead to their divorce and more problem solving. But nonetheless, it was a good read with some loveable characters.

This is a recommendation for sweet romance readers who wants a heart warming story for a couple that gets a second chance at their happily ever after.

Carina Taylor brought to life a cute romance novel. She was able to convey the chemistry between Meyer and Archie, showcasing that through all the banter (I love a good banter) there is always that spark that ignites when two people find each other! I love the journey they both took and the growth. I wish we could see more into their past and what let to their divorce, but overall I loved this hilariously light romance that is sure to sweeten your day!

I recommend this book to readers that love second chance romances.

Meyer's ex husband Archie has been in an accident and is suffering from temporary amnesia. He's forgotten their divorce and thinks they're still a loving couple. The doctor recommends she avoid saying anything that will shock Archie, and that she humor him until he gets his memory back. Can she risk losing her heart to him again?

This book grabbed me from the first page. It's quirky and funny with vibrant characters. There's a ton of chemistry between Meyer and Archie. The plot is engaging and never lagged.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

This one is such a cute fun story. I managed to fly through as it was an easy read. The MC is a relatable woman and very likeable, like all of the characters. It was slightly predictable with the HEA but sometimes that just what you want to read

Forget Me Twice is a fantastic romcom by Carina Taylor. I’ve been a fan of Carina Taylor ever since I read her novel World’s Worst Boyfriend. So I was very excited to hear about this book and it did not disappoint.

This book is a fun second chance romance with an amnesiac ex-husband. I enjoyed seeing how Meyer and Archie were able to rediscover the romance. I had to laugh at the different excuses Meyer had to keep coming up with to keep Archie from kissing her and all of his physical touch.

Probably the one thing I didn’t love was the lying that happened towards the end. But besides this I really enjoyed the book.

This is feels like a reverse marriage of convenience story in the best way! It was a fun and super cute read. A true Rom-Com.. The plot is so unique and sucks you right in. I was so excited for this book and it delivered. Meyer and Archie were once madly in love but after being married for a couple of years, they divorced. When Archie gets into an accident, he loses his recent memories and believes he is still married. Despite their turbulent history, Meyer helps Archie recover and has to pretend like she hasn’t lived through their big fight and subsequent divorce. Meyer and Archie were so much fun to follow. The banter and chemistry these two had was top tier. It is a second chance romance but is low angst and it makes for an enjoyable read. There was a lot of buildup and expectation regarding their big fight and when it was revealed it fell a little flat BUT this book is like the warmth and comfort of a hallmark movie so it works. Also, no one does an epilogue like Carina Taylor. They are the best and always feel like the perfect ending. I know she said this was a stand-alone but PLEASE. The character building was amazing and I need a Willa and Kingston story. Those two are 🔥

✨ 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.
