Forget Tomorrow (Forget Tomorrow, 1) Paperback – September 6, 2016

Some of yall fell in love with Dystopia by reading The Hunger Games. For some of us (me), it was Forget Tomorrow. It's been years since I've read the series that made Pintip Dunn one of all-time favorite authors. Recently, a few months ago, I discovered they were also becoming audiobooks and immediately preordered all three. Now, after finishing book one, I can reconfirm my love for the series and author. And Nancy Wu does an absolutely amazing job at bring the story to life. I think I may even love the story more now. 🩵

Seventeen year old Callie is about to learn her future. In this world, when you turn seventeen, you are given a future memory. You can learn if you are going to be a gifted musician, a champion swimmer and even if your are going to be a criminal.Callie is expecting to learn she is going to be a Master Chef. She loves to cook and that would be a fantastic future. However, this is not what she sees. What her future holds is her worst nightmare. Running away and hiding sounds like a good plan but maybe turning herself in to the authorities would be better for everyone.Just one person stands in her way...Logan. Logan is the boy she used to have a crush on until five years ago when he stopped talking to her. Now, he's there for her and he wants to help her. By helping her, he reveals his and his family's secrets placing himself in danger.Callie tries to fight her future but when her sister is taken, she knows she must act. It doesn't matter that she might end up being where she's terrified to be... in close proximity to her sister again.I was excited to read this book. The premise of learning your future and deciding to fulfill it or change it, is intriguing to me. Callie knew her memory shouldn't become real and she tried to fight it the best way she could. But, how much does fate play a part in our decisions?If anything this book left me with too many questions. Yes, I want to know what happens to Callie, but, I'm wondering if her dad is out there, If Angela is going to change her mind, if Callie has more powers tha she realizes, if two receivers can learn to communicate?I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Bring it on!4/5 Fangs

I'm trying to clear out my books to read and this book been in my "to read" list 2016. Yes I know a long time to sit on a Goodreads shelf, but I feel like it was worth the wait. Highly recommend and don't wait as long as I did to read it.

Forget Tomorrow by Pintip Dunn has such a beautiful cover that I immediately wanted to read the book! This dystopian story involves future memories, a confusing concept that Pintip Dunn clarifies well with her writing skills. Relying completely on a memory from the future to dictate my life would make me feel trapped. When Callie receives her memory, her entire world falls into turmoil. Unsure of Logan's intentions and wary of the people around her, she doesn't know who she can trust. Logan helps Callie escape after she has been placed in Limbo. Since she can't swim, Logan continues on the journey with her to get her to safety. The whole time I was reading, I kept thinking, "just kiss each other already!" Logan and Callie make it to safety, the Harmony compound, and meet several people who are afraid to enjoy their lives because they are worried about their future memories coming true. Callie heads back home to save Jessa. She learns many secrets involving her family and the community. The cliffhanger ending is almost unbearable - 4 stars. I am looking forward to reading the sequel, Remember Yesterday.

Callie lives in a society where everyone receives an imprint when they turn age seventeen. She receives a horrible imprint that she will kill her young sister, Jessa. The reader continues to wonder if Callie has a choice. Must she commit this terrible act? With the help of her love interest, Logan, she escapes from Eden City and takes up residence in Harmony. If she stays there, can she avoid the act of killing her sister?She is compelled to return to Eden City, hoping to rescue Jessa and take her away from the city. The tension throughout is well described and the reader continually wonders how it will all end. We learn the fate that awaits the members of the city. We are brought to the moment Callie is called upon to unravel her memory and learn a devastating truth about the society. Does Callie have the ability to exercise a free will?Treatment of this society and its workings are well done.

Forget Tomorrow had me on edge from beginning to end. It's been a while since I have read Young Adult and Sci Fi, and I am so glad I jumped back in with this book. Callie, the heroine, is so real. I never expected to feel so much and so deeply for a character. She is young, impulsive, emotional, honest, and funny. And she isn't just a lovestruck teen. When you learn the truth about Callie's sister, you feel like you can trust Callie to lead you to her next bold step. My favorite line actually above Callie's sense of humor - something like give me cumin and turmeric over diamonds any spacetime. That's just one of Callie's many candid moments.I found myself turning page after page because the writing is just that good, the characters are that human - beautiful and flawed. It moves so fast you hardly know how much time has passed until you get to the shocking ending. This is an awesome first novel. I can't wait to read Pintip Dunn's next one.

This debut book poses a terrific question for teens and adults alike: Would you want to know your future and would you let it shape your choices? I find the premise of people receiving memories sent by themselves which will then determine the course of their futures very interesting. It reminded me a bit of Minority Report in that way. But more than anything, I loved the way you can see people struggling with this news and how they want to fight to change what the society says cannot be changed. I loved that Callie never gave up. She absolutely refused to fall into the role that her memory sent. I think this will open up a great book discussion group on what role free will plays in our lives and who would fight to change that course. I'm curious to see where the characters go from here in the next book!

Forget Tomorrow is a beautifully written book, with decent worldbuilding and some imaginative concepts. Although I enjoyed it, I didn't love it as I was expecting.The cover and blurb are what attracted me to purchase a copy of this book while it was on sale. I snapped this beauty up for 99p - thanks, Bookbub. In particular, it was the mention of memory and psychic ability that intrigued me, as I have similar themes in my own dystopian series.Callie is a believable teen heroine, even if her indecision grated on my nerves at times. Her voice was consistent with her characters age and situation and it was authentic. Can't say that I overly loved her, but I didn't hate her either. I'm a bit on the fence.But I'm not on the fence about Logan! Now, I have a fondness for the name (I have a Logan of my own) but this Logan would happily belong on my book boyfriend list in his own right. He was protective and charming and sweet and kind and self-deprecating and there isn't a damn thing I can fault about him. Logan made this book for me.At times, I felt that emotional depth was lacking, and sentiments were expressed that seemed to come out of nowhere. At other times, I skimmed across overly descriptive parts that were redundant. In my opinion, developmental editing could have been stronger to flesh out the characterization and trim the excess.The world building was a little bit of a conundrum for me. Parts of it were superb - well mapped out and executed but other parts felt underdeveloped (Harmony, for example.) It was very reminiscent of Divergent at the start and when the story shifted to Harmony it reminded me of The Revolution of Ivy, and I had issues with an underdeveloped community in that book too.That said, there was enough about this book with the whole memory/fate theme to allow it to stand on its own. The plot was decent, if a little slow moving.The romance was sweet and my only complaint is that I wished for more of it! I definitely ship these two, and I can't help thinking that there is more to Logan's memory than he's letting on.That ending was fantastic and I wasn't expecting it. I'm still in shock and hoping all is not as it seems. (view spoiler)One of the standouts was the writing. The prose is stunning and it's clear that Pintip Dunn can really write. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style and the words glided effortlessly over the pages of my kindle.In summary, this was a decent start to what seems to be an intriguing series. However, I did have some issues with plot, characterization, and aspects of the world building that stopped me rating this higher. I look forward to continuing the story in book two.

Centred on a well-drawn heroine, FORGET TOMORROW brings a spark of new life to the YA dystopia genre, which has become tired and cluttered with all the ripoffs of Divergent and The Hunger Games. FORGET TOMORROW is something entirely different, with a fantastic premise that it absolutely follows through on. It avoids several worn-out cliches of the genre (there is no love triangle, the protagonist is not the leader of a revolution, the protagonist has no special powers which challenge her dystopian society). The plot is actually drawn on a much more intimate scale; it focuses on how this society, predicated on the concept of future memory, affects Callie, her childhood friend Logan, and her beloved younger sister Jessa. There’s also an element of the paranormal running through the book, with the existence of people with psychic powers.This book ends on a wicked cliffhanger, though the main plot threads are resolved. It also contains frank discussion of rape and the off-screen rape of a secondary character (note: Callie herself isn’t the victim of or threatened with sexual assault at any point in the novel), mostly concentrated around two separate chapters, which may be upsetting for some readers.If you want a sci-fi dystopia that follows through on its strong premise, has a lovely family element, and avoids many of the cliche pitfalls of the genre (no love triangle! thank god!), try FORGET TOMORROW. I must warn again about the cliffhanger, however.

I LOVE this book so much! The very concept the book is based on (receiving a memory from your future self) is so unique and intriguing, and Dunn creates amazingly lifelike characters who grab you from the very first page. Callie is a fantastic main character, and I especially loved the relationship between her and her sister, Jessa. And, oh the twists! And the ending--I did not see that coming! The worldbuilding is rich and expertly done, woven into the story in manageable chunks. I really loved the SF feel this dystopian has. The love interest, Logan, was one of my favourite characters.  The chemistry between Callie and Logan is fantastic--very believable. But I think what I liked best about their relationship was that it drew attention to both these characters' flaws. That just seemed SO realistic. This is a must-read for anyone who loves a good dystopian.

Fast pace and exciting. Very romantic and contains so much love. Brilliant book. Can't wait to read the next instalment!

Really enjoyed this book. Would recommend for Young Adult, I know my 10 year old daughter would enjoy it a lot.
