The Art of Forgetting Review & Giveaway



Camille Noe Pagan's emotionally gripping novel about friendship, independence, forgiving and forgetting, The Art of Forgetting, has now been released in paperback from Plume Books, also available as an Audio Book and E-Book.
If you didn't catch the book when it was first released in hardcover, here is the synopsis of The Art of Forgetting from the back of the book:

Marissa Rogers has always been just fine as a beta. After all, hadn't taking charge without taking credit been paying off?  It's what vaulted her to senior editor at a glossy--if somewhat tedious--diet magazine and let her be best friends with gorgeous, charismatic, absolutely alpha Julia Ferrar. 

And then Julia is hit by a cab. Her external injuries are minor, but brain damage steals her memory and alters her personality. To help her friend, Marissa must  assume the alpha role and help Julia recover her past. As Julia heals, she begins dredging up memories Marissa would rather forget---including the fact that Julia once asked her to abandon the love of her life. 

I enjoyed The Art of Forgetting. I found it to be an inspirational story of friendship and inner strength. I liked that the book showed the strength within a "flawed" girl, not just the perfect specimen as you frequently find in may books. It was an easy, fast and enjoyable read.

It sounds like a powerful book about friendship and one friend helping another back after her brain injuries.
