The blurb:
It began with four words: ‘I love your laugh. x’
But that was twelve years ago. It really began the day Georgina was fired from The Worst Restaurant in Sheffield (© Tripadvisor) and found The Worst Boyfriend in the World (© Georgina’s best friends) in bed with someone else.
So when her new boss, Lucas McCarthy, turns out to be the boy who wrote those words to her all that time ago, it feels like the start of something.
The only problem? He doesn’t seem to remember Georgina – at all…
Genre: Literary humour

My review:
I have read and enjoyed all of Mhairi McFarlane’s books. I like her sense of humour and her ability, to sum up a situation in a single phrase. If you are a romantic comedy fan and you haven’t read her books you’re missing a treat.
Don’t You Forget About Me is a fabulous read. As you’d expect, if you’ve read Mhairi’s other books, there was a degree of humour, but more than that this book drew me in (literally I stayed up until 2am to finish it), it explored different relationships at different levels; it made me laugh, but it also made me cry. The ending was gorgeous and delivered all and more than I had hoped for. The main characters were brilliant. Georgina was wonderfully portrayed, and I loved Lucas, his dog and his brother, actually I could go on – they are a fabulous bunch of characters whose world you’re happy to inhabit for the duration of the book. I was excited when I saw this book was coming out and it didn’t disappoint. It was another wonderful Mhairi McFarlane read.
About Mhairi McFarlane:
Mhairi McFarlane was born in Scotland in 1976 and got the fringe hairstyle locked down early so she could concentrate on wider issues affecting society, like why Cadbury’s don’t make plain chocolate buttons. Surely the demand is there. She writtes rom-com books and is trying to write another and not be distracted by Netflix or Twitter, with varying success.
