The Forgetting Sharon Cameron Books

This was one of the many (MANY) September releases that I was really excited for. I ended up taking awhile to get to it because soon after its release, I started seeing quite a few negative reviews for it and got nervous about reading it, haha. However, I eventually did pick it up and I’m really glad I did. Although The Forgetting had a bit of a slow start, the action through the second half of the book more than made up for it and the book ended up being really enjoyable.

There are a lot of things about this book that I enjoyed. First of all, our main character, Nadia, goes through great character development. She starts off as being very guarded, not letting anyone in because she’s afraid of how much it will hurt her when others forget her since she’s the only one in the city who doesn’t forget everything every 12 years. I really liked seeing her grow and become less afraid and guarded as the story progresses.

I thought the love interest, Gray, was a pretty good character as well. I would’ve liked to see more of him and his background (which I realize is difficult since he forgets things every 12 years like everyone else) because when we did get glimpses into who he is, I really enjoyed it. Generally, he was a great character and I liked how stubborn and charming he was and how willing he was to risk things to help Nadia.

There were some potentially triggering things that came up in this book that kind of caught me off guard. Nadia’s mother self-harms and deals with other mental health issues kind of similar to depression and PTSD. I wasn’t expecting this going in and so the first time it came up, it surprised me. There was one scene with some sexual harassment/attempted assault that kind of came out of nowhere, too. If any of this might be triggering for you, this is definitely something to keep in mind.

I appreciated that Nadia’s family actually plays a pretty big role in this book, although their role still wasn’t quite as big as I would’ve liked. I’ll take what I can get, though, haha. Nadia is really close with her younger sister, Genivee, and I loved seeing the relationship between the two of them. Nadia’s older sister pretty much hates her, but she was still a big influencing character on the story and I thought she was an incredibly interesting character. As I already mentioned, Nadia’s mother is struggling with mental health issues and this causes some problems between the sisters. Mostly they try to work together to help their mom, but it also causes tension between the sisters, especially between Nadia and her older sister who blames Nadia for their mother’s mental health problems.

The dystopian elements of this book were incredibly interesting to me. The very opening scene shows us some of the corruption in the government, but more and more corruption is unfolded as the book goes on and the final scenes uncover so much. I loved watching Nadia and Gray discover all of the information that’s been hidden from everyone in the city and struggle with fighting back against their corrupt and manipulative government.

Although it took me awhile to really get into The Forgetting, I ended up really enjoying it. There’s plenty of dystopian elements that were fun to uncover as well as interesting family dynamics and impressive character development. This is definitely something that I think a lot of readers will enjoy as long as they can get past a bit of a boring beginning.

The Forgetting Sharon Cameron Books Reviews

The Forgetting by Sharon Cameron
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟📚💔🌿🚀💉
I love Sharon Cameron. The first book of hers I read was Rook, only a month or so ago, and this latest novel sealed my commitment to read every book of hers in the future. I love how mind-blowing and wild her stories get, how she drops you in the middle of somewhere and challenges your mind with both a mystery and philosophy. This book is about memory. What makes memory? How does memory affect who we are? Where is the line drawn between memory and truth and lies? Is there a line? Oh, and I wish I could get into the sci-fi aspects of this book, but it would ruin half of the shock in this book, and I think everyone needs to go into this story blind in order to enjoy how crazy it is. Crazy perfect. Seriously, if you’ve never checked out Sharon Cameron, do so now. She has a way of blending us in with the future in a very believable and unsettling way, while entertaining everyone with a heart-pounding story.
Highly recommended.
~SAT
Recommended to YA readers willing to stretch the imagination without all of the answers handed to them. A great novel for philosophical conversations.
Favorite Quote When I was a child, wanting to know the truth was called curiosity. Now that I am grown, the truth I want to know is called a crime. (pg. 190)
Favorite Word Surreptitiously - in a way that attempts to avoid notice or attention; secretively. Used in the sentence, “I try to surreptitiously wipe the soot off my face and neck while she digs around in the pot of dirt, and then I tell her she can keep the plant if she wants, which makes her happy.” (pg. 245)
It seems like this is a stand-alone novel (for those looking for a series). This was a good book. I found the premise interesting- that every 12 years everyone is essentially reset because they forget entirely who they are. You explore this world and the culture with the heroine and I really, really liked her. I wrote another review about Burning Glass and the difficulty I had with that heroine, so this one was a nice change. She's introspective and self-aware and brave but not fearless and not the prettiest girl. She's quiet and makes people uncomfortable with her silence, but I found her to be relatable and real (if you can't tell, I'm very character-driven).

It's the small touches, I think, that helps build a new society in your mind- the traditions, how they break the rules, what the rules are, and I think the author did a good job of adding these. There was some other information I would have like to have seen added to make it a bit more logical for me, but I won't get into because spoilers. However, if you're into your dystopian novels, this is a good one to pick up.
