This was a fantastic book! It was easy to read, and definitely a book I was eager to fall into. The adventure, mystery, and romance kept me invested. I loved the relationship between the two main characters, how she could not forget him, but was also not close to him anymore, and how he was always thinking of her. From friends, to strangers, to lovers. How very charming! I flew through this book and plan on devouring the second book as well. |
A very well-written and really well-executed book, with a strong plot, great characters and awesome pacing! |
Set in a world not too dissimilar from our own, with technology that allows you to view memories from your future. This was an action-packed dystopian. I love the family connections and relationships. And although I didn't agree with all her choices,t he female protagonist was an incredible kick a**! There was a perfect blend of future, romance and even humour. With an incredible setting. A brilliant read for anyone looking for a fast-paced YA dystopia |
This book just wasn't for me. I couldn't get into the story at all. It might have been the wrong time and I might try it again in the future. But for now I need to put it down. |

I really enjoyed this! The romance was a bit quick at times, and there were plenty of scifi things I wanted more details about, but it was an enjoyable read. |
Wow this book is so awesome. Read it so quick just because it's so great. Everything I love about these types of books is in here. Futuristic stuff and dystopian and it's ya. Now with the future memories and arresting people before the crime happens does remind me of a movie I own and love Minoirty Report. In this book people get future memories when they are 17 that is suppose to lead them in their life. Now some are great and help out wonderfully. But some show them that in the future they do some criminal stuff. However instead of helping them change what they see, they arrest them without a need for help. For Callie it changes her whole world, because she see's herself killing her 6 year old sister. Callie doesn't believe she will ever do this. She runs off with the memory chip only to realize it's best to turn herself in. Just because she doesn't want that memory to come true. But as the government tries to find out what her memory is, she tries to change it. Because she finds out turning herself in may not have been so wise. She realizes some people have psychic abilities and the government scientists want those with that ability. Only Logan who knew Callie once can help her in changing the future. So many things go on that you are shipping Logan and Callie and at the same time wanting to know more about the future memories. This book is a page turner, at least for me it is. Because you have these characters that are going against the present time and yet the future and trying to change the ripples so that memory doesn't come true for some. |
I cannot express how much I enjoyed this book. The description and title of this book drew me into this wonderful world. I am always a sucker for a Sci-Fi Fantasy Dystopian book. They are always my favorites. This book was so well written and the world was so unique. I loved the innocent romance brewing in the book and it made me so happy. I loved how real the main character, Callie seemed to be. I loved her relationship with her sister and how she was protective of her. I really enjoyed the romance that was brewing between Logan and Callie. I would recommend this book to people who love fantasy and dystopian books with a little bit of romance. |
I sadly wasn’t a fan of this book. It was boring and wasn’t my cup of tea. I just was never interested in picking I up after a while. |
From the very start, I was drawn into this society in which Fate (i.e. future memories) dictated your life ahead. At the age of 17, all young people receive a future memory, and that's it. That's their life. No deviations, no exploring other options. The whole concept just intrigued me. I think the highlight of the book was the characters and their connections with each other. Callie's love for Jessa was palpable and made me think how much I love my own little brother. I loved the flashbacks and snippets of insight into their life together, as they really brought the relationship to life. I could understand the motives underpinning each action Callie took, despite not always agreeing with them, because who she was was so clear to me. Another relationship I could feel from the very beginning? Callie and Logan's. The leaves??? They almost broke me. I felt like every scene with these two had meaning or built the relationship more. Nothing was superfluous. Certain moments did things to my insides, made them squidge up and spin around and generally bounce all over the place. "And then, his hands touch my face. I die. That one brush of his fingers against my cheek, at once tender and aching, slays me. I didn't know a kiss could be so exquisite." I died, too. Finally, I want to mention the plot. Amazing. For the most part, it was thrilling, though there was some drag about halfway through. But there were also quite a few unexpected twists. Loved it. Except that I didn't completely love it because it kept doing things to my heart. I'm out of words now. Just read the book. |
"I really liked this one. There are lots of YA dystopian books out there and it's difficult to get a fresh take on the genre. Yes the memory aspect of the plot reminded me a bit of Minority Report, but this book stands well on its own merits. I read it very quickly and the time seemed to fly by, which is always a good sign. I will definitely be checking out the sequels. I received a free Kindle copy from the author, and I am voluntarily giving an honest review." |

Oh, boy. Okay. The writing for this book... was not good. That, I think, would be the source of the problem. It physically made me want to shrink away from my kindle--it affected me that much. More than that, it was the characters, the world, the romance. Everything felt flat and so, so boring. I was expecting more sci-fi, but I got dull characters who fell for each other almost instantaneously and then made huge decisions based off those feelings. There was absolutely no substance to *anything*. By the end, nothing felt accomplished and I felt cheated. |
Have you ever experience any book hangover? Because I did. I know I just finish the book last night and I still couldn't put it off from my mind and that being said, I could not move to another book. Yet. As I told you in one of my posts last month, I wanted to read a fantasy, sci-fi books, right? Here I am reading such an amazing book. I love the book very much. Forget Tomorrow is set in a futuristic world in which all human are going to receive a future memory on their seventeenth birthday. It's a new technology set in Boom era. The memory they receive is a snippet of what is going to happen in the future, what are they going to be - a successful artist? a chef? But the worst thing, the future memory tells them - you're a criminal and that leads them to go to prison right away even though, they have not yet committed the crime. Unfortunately, Callie receives a snippet from her memory commit a crime to her sister. After what she saw in her future memory she ran out to the forest with her crush, Logan but somehow she surrenders herself and goes to the prison. Not long after she been to prison, Logan comes to the rescue and bail her out from the jail, bring her again to the forest where there is a small community live somewhere in the forest hiding from the government. It is called as a Harmony. A community filled with people who have the same fate as Callie. My emotion when reading the book is unstable as I was scared of what will happen to Callie - is she going to commit the crime as she seen from her future memory? Seeing her struggle to live her day after what had she saw is hard. Because we are talking about 17 years old girl who is so young!!! Even though I like Callie's character but somehow I find her a but somehow I find her a bit annoying because there is a teeny tiny bit of she being so stubborn and quite annoying but I guess.... that's forgiven. All in all, it is a wonderful book set in the futuristic world makes me yearn for more. I need to what is going to happen to her sister? What is happening to Callie? As the ending of the book leave you hanging. I guess I'm going to find out all that in the next series. If only, the book exists in our local bookstore that would be amazing. Sadly, no. I'm glad that Entangled Teen gave me the chance to read and review such an amazing book and I'm so happy my friend, Rafael also gives me the book as a gift. Thank you! Rating: 4.5/5 |
I received an eARC of this book via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review. Forget Tomorrow by Pintip Dunn is the first in a trilogy of books about a world in which our future is certain and every decision is based on the memories of that future. This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read, though I’ll admit it reminds me a little of the Tom Cruise movie Minority Report. It’s fast-paced and action-packed, full of twists and turns right to the last word. The book opens on Callie Stone’s Memory Eve. The next day her life will change. She will turn 17 and receive her future memory. Every person in this society receives their memory and it determines the path their life will take. Jobs are based on it, going to a good university is based on it. Everything in your life is based on this snippet from the future. So naturally Callie is nervous. I would be too. Her memory is horrid. She sees herself killing her little sister. I like Callie. She is a fierce character who refuses to give up and believe that her destiny is to kill the person she loves most. She fights her fate. She loves with her whole heart. Her downfall though is her secrecy. She doesn’t trust many people. Her sister is special and she has to protect her. Callie has spent her life protecting her and keeping others at a distance. Old habits are hard to break. Logan is perfect. I loved him from the moment Callie began remembering him. He’s kind, loyal to a fault, and will do anything for the girl who loves sunshine. But he has a big secret, one I had guessed before Callie realized it. It made me love him more. And the leaves….*swoon* The plot of the story revolves around Callie and her future memory. Her future has been torn from her and everything she’s dreamed of doing is gone. There’s only one thing she can do, and that’s run from her fate, get as far as she can from her sister and then she can’t kill her. However it’s never that easy. The more Callie learns about her world, the more she realizes that sometimes the future can’t be changed. I loved the world-building! This futuristic society mixed with the Underground (a secret rebellion) and the wilderness community Harmony made for an exciting, fresh read. Overall I really enjoyed Forget Tomorrow. I couldn’t sit it down and finished it in one sitting. Callie’s story hooked me from the first word and left me reeling at the end. The romance was sweet and swoon-worthy without overshadowing the dystopian/sci-fi plot. If you enjoy dystopia, I highly recommend you grab a copy and make some time to read it one go because you won’t want to sit it down either! |
This book was not what I expected. The cover is lovely and the synopsis sounds interesting but I just could not get into this story |
Forget Tomorrow (Forget Tomorrow #1) Pintip Dunn Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Wow! Forget Tomorrow has left me a little speechless (Que sitting, and thinking for 30 minutes before continuing with my review). It has been a while since I've read a dystopian novel. I find them to be the most emotional genre of books. This one was really really good, and I couldn't put it down. It reminded me of Divergent in a lot of ways and would say if you like Veronica Roth's book you will like this. A memory from the future can set your fate for a lifetime, but what if that memory is bad. It's Callie's 17th birthday, and she is about to receive her futuristic message. She's nervous and wants to spend her last day without the knowledge enjoying what she has. Her little sister is gifted, and her family must avoid her being detected. Her sister, Jessa can predict the future but only seconds in front. A little guessing game on the way home from school can't hurt, right? Logan's brother was gifted too, but they took him away. He has been a shell of his former self ever since. A few days after getting his future memory he sees Callie in the park with Jessa. They haven't spoken since the day his brother was taken. Now he wants to reconnect but at what cost? Can fate be changed? Forget tomorrow is the first book in a series of books the 3rd book is due out in September. I have been lucky enough to receive an ARC of this series. If you like dystopian novels then you will like this one. It follows the usual pattern. Dystopian- an undesirable society with a glimpse at hope. This book has romance and an ending which will leave you wanting more. 5 stars out of 5. 400 pages. Kindle price £4.48 or £6.38 Paperback Published November 3rd 2015 by Entangled: Teen |
A futurist time that is full of doom and lives without choices. This book so reminds me of the Divergent series in that our heroine fights for change. Imagine a world where your name is secondary to your birth date and at age 17 your destiny is revealed. Characters of Logan and Callie were real and invoked intense emotion that was heart wrenching. Future Pintip Dunn installments in this series are required to answer questions that remain. "A copy of this book was supplied by Entangled Publishing, LLC with no requirements for a review.

Forget Tomorrow is a fast paced dystopian novel, that takes us on a wild ride concerning questions of fate, free will, and the ultimate question of whether we can control our future. So it may be clear if you know me well, that from the premise I would be bound to be drawn to this book. I am such a fan of dystopias, and this one sounded even better – memory and questions about the future and fate? A no brainer. I was not disappointed and this premise remained strong throughout the whole book, making us question what we knew about the world. Dunn gives us great characters, who are moving, in a fabulous way. Callie cannot possibly understand how she could have a future where she kills her sister, but there she has it, the elephant looming in the corner. Because of this, her whole world is threatened, along with her sense of self, so in the book she tries to figure out who she is. I read Girl on the Verge, Dunn’s most recent thriller, and that had an elaborate plot, but this one just excited me even more. Maybe it was the dystopian setting, but there was intrigue and suspense and political movements. It was like a complex machine being put together in front of your eyes and even in the end, it’s still not completely done. I am so excited for the sequel, because it seems even better! From a perspective theme, this book is gold. Not only do we talk about the concept of our fate, but we have a society obsessed with futures – remind you of any you might know? Everything is about setting ourselves up for our future vision, so that we can work everything to achieve that vision. |
I'm hooked! Who would have thought that me, who reads pretty much nothing but historical fiction and romance, would be into science fiction dystopia novels? Well, I am. I am very much hooked and I want more! The concept of memories and how it essentially ruled the world that Callie lived in was very cool. It's not something that you read about a lot. Of course, I haven't read much science fiction but still. I was very much intrigued from the first sentence. It was a little confusing at first, which is why a star got knocked off but after a while, things started to make a little more sense. I liked Callie as an MC. I loved her fierce devotion to her family and how she was willing to do just about anything to protect her family. I also felt the pain and the burden she felt at having to basically care for her younger sister since her mom was so busy at her job and missing her husband. I liked that Pintip Dunn showed the resentment that comes with being the oldest child because all older children have certainly felt that. I liked that Callie was matter of fact, straight to the point. There was very little wishy washy-ness about her. Nothing ruins a book more than a narrator you can't trust. Callie was someone you could trust. Logan was a bit hold and cold for me. I liked him at times but then I didn't like him at times. I felt he had a good redemption story, though. Him and Callie had stopped talking for five years and he had just started talking to her again. I didn't like that he hid a lot of things from Callie. When working on a relationship after five years of not talking, trust is incredibly important. I don't like that Logan was acting like he couldn't trust Callie right away. I did like that he tried to redeem himself in Callie's eyes. I can appreciate a MC that knows when he messed up and works on fixing it. I'm still a little iffy on Harmony, the society that was created for those that have very violent memories, and the leader (who I won't say because I feel like it's a spoiler). I feel that there is something that is being hidden from Callie and Logan about this group and I don't much like it. But I could just be paranoid as well. Overall, this is really a spot on series. The concept of memories and how they control an entire society is incredible. I'm anxious to see what more Pintip Dunn can bring to the table concerning this. I'm hoping my suspicions about Harmony are wrong and I hope that Callie and Logan get the life they deserve to have together. |

Wow. I was completely riveted by Forget Tomorrow. I loved the entire concept of the story and the themes of fate and destiny. How much is predetermined? How much do we control? In Callie's world everything revolves around the future memories sent to everyone upon their seventeenth birthday from their future self. After receiving a horrible inconceivable memory of her killing her sister, Callie is taken away. From there she starts her journey of discovery of just how far some people will go to keep the balance of future memories being fulfilled and others to stop just that from happening in their own lives. I was totally engrossed, vigorously reading every page hoping beyond hope that Callie would find a way to change the future she saw for herself. One thing I thought was interesting as an afterthought, when I'd finished reading the book was how society put so much into thinking the memories would definitely come true, yet how could Logan's vision and Callie's visions both be true? Speaking of Callie and Logan I of course loved them together and hearing the connection they had from the time they were young. So sweet. But after that amazing ending I am wondering what happens now. Do they have a future together? I highly recommend Forget Tomorrow to anyone who will listen lol. |
"Forget Tomorrow" is a really intriguing YA dystopian set in a future where your life is guided by a future memory, which you receive upon your seventeenth birthday. Your future self has chosen a memory and sent it back to you- it might show you being incredibly successful, maybe something mundane, or maybe even a crime you have committed. Callie is turning 17 and so excited to receive her memory, where she hopes to be hailed as an amazing chef. Unfortunately, the memory she sees is so unbelievably different- she sees herself killing her younger sister with whom she is very close. People whose memories are of them committing a crime (no matter the circumstances), are sent to Limbo- they haven't committed the crime yet, so they can't be convicted, but there is enough evidence that they will that they can't just be set free. Callie is willing to be imprisoned if it would save her sister. However, it is unclear if we are destined to live out the future memories or whether they might be changed. Between the philosophical questions about destiny, time travel (as the memories are from the future- so is time linear or circular), psychic abilities, and the legality of imprisoning someone you think might commit a crime, Callie takes us through this new world piece by piece on an engaging and intriguing journey. The flow of the book is absolutely perfect, and the questions raised in it are really thought-provoking. The romance was really sweet too- with just a dash (not overwhelming) of teen drama. The ending does have a cliffhanger, so be prepared to want to dive into the next book immediately! Overall, this was a fantastic dystopian book that gives you some big questions to consider. Fans of Divergent and similar styles will really enjoy this one! Please note that I received a digital copy from the publisher through netgalley. All opinions are my own. |
