NEW RELEASE
Don't You Forget About Me - Alexandra Potter (2012)
When Tess is dumped by her boyfriend Seb, she decides it's all her fault. Drunk and alone at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, she burns all her mementoes of their relationship and wishes that she'd never met him. When Tess bumps into Seb on New Year's Eve and he blanks her she soon realises that sometimes wishes can come true. He really doesn't remember who she is which means she can have another crack at their relationship. As she gets to put right her relationship wrongs, will she actually get it right this time? This was a clever concept for a story that any women who has been through a bad break-up could empathise with. It was a warm and funny read with loveable characters. It may be a little predictable in places, but it didn't spoil the overall enjoyment. This is the first Alexandra Potter book I've read and it won't be the last. (AB)
Don't You Forget About Me, by Alexandra Potter, is about a girl given a second chance at her relationship. The summary says: "After a bad break-up, doesn't every girl want the same things? For her ex-boyfriend to stay single forever... Or maybe emigrate, to a remote, uninhabited island? Better still, that she'd never met him in the first place! But what if one of those wishes came true? Tess is heartbroken when Seb breaks up with her and can't help blaming herself. If only she'd done things differently. If only she could make right all her regrets ... But she can't. It's over. She has to forget about him. Drunk and upset on New Year's Eve she wishes she'd never met him. But when she wakes up to discover this dream has come true, she realises she has a chance. To do it all over again. And to get it right this time." Don't You Forget About Me is out in July.
