I loved the lightness and friendship Ryan brought to Stevie (when she wasn’t trying to force herself to like him). While Stevie was struggling with the idea of her memories never returning and realising her closest friends and family were lying to her, Nora faced Stevie potentially never remembering her or the love they shared. You could feel the love between these two girls so clearly, and could equally feel the hurt they were both going through in the aftermath of the accident. The image of Nora pulling Stevie out of the ravine and carrying her to safety was enough to grip me. I knew pretty early on I was going to fall in love with it as the writing and storytelling was just beautiful. Nora is torn between letting Stevie reconnect with her family and friends she was distant from, and telling her the truth she may not be ready to face yet. However when Stevie gets in an accident, she loses all her memories from the past two years, including coming to terms with her sexuality, falling in love with Nora and their plan to leave. After dating in secret for two years, they are now just weeks away from executing their plan to leave their small conservative town for California. She’s headed towards a future that isn’t at all what her fifteen-year-old self would have envisioned.Ĭan the two find their way back together through a lost memory?Ī romantic ode to the strength of love and the power of choosing each other, against odds and obstacles, again and again.įorget Me Not follows 18 year old Stevie and her girlfriend Nora, during their final summer before college.
