The premise of this book is unique. I loved how Jordan saw her opportunity to make changes in her life and took it, even though her method wasn't the best.
I didn't like Jordan much until she started faking amnesia. I mean she was basically a doormat. I felt really bad for her and wanted her to do something about it. I mean her family life, love life, and work life were abysmal. All she had going for her were best friends, Cat and Todd.

I just finished reading Forget About It By: Caprice Crane. I loved this book. This book kept my interest from the beginning to the end. I was sad when the book ended I didn't want it to end at all. This was the first book I've read by this author and it will not be the last. If this book is on your TBR or TBB list you should move it to #1 on the list. I definitely look forward to reading more books by this author. I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a good laugh out loud read that will

actually first time i interested in this book because on the covet stated "best chicklit"
first time i read, the pace is so slow. The timeline also not really clear.
The book tells about Jordan, girl that not quite assertive that she lead people around her to "bully" her. Then someday when she had a very bad day, while she ride her bicycle, she hit a car's door then she decide to pretend to have amnesia to repair messiness in her life.

This book kept me flipping the pages non stop, a very humorous story, Jordan is someone whom I can relate to well enough. I feel we have so many things in common.
Quotes I love in the book:
"Know the hazards of lending and borrowing with friends."
"I learned to accept my family for who they were and understand that, though they might be limited in certain areas, they all had good qualities that I could appreciate."

I loved this author's first book and hated her third...this one started off with an amusing premise, but I hated how extreme the lead character's doormat personality was. When she faked amnesia and began fighting back in this passive aggressive manner, there were a few good moments and laughs, especially at her slimy ex boyfriend's expense. However, her second bout of real amnesia put the book in the realm of just not plausible and I had to keep myself from cringing. All of the characters were c

Akhirny selesai juga baca buku ini. Hehehe udh lama dibaca tp br sekarang selesainya.

Mereka sudah bersama-sama mulai dari kecil hingga sampai sekarang. Pada masa kecilnya Jordan pernah menikah dengan Todd (ya mksdny menikah main-main gtu..). Mereka bertiga merupakan sahabat yang saling melengkapi.

I wish I could give this book 4.5 stars. I more than "liked it," but wouldn't necessarily call it "amazing." It was a very clever tale of Jordan Landau, a 25-year-old ad agency employee (almost the lowest rung on the ladder), who hated her boyfriend, her mother, and her boss. So one day, while riding her bike down the crowded, rainy streets of NYC, she's hit by a car. In the hospital she has a flash of brilliance. Why not just fake amnesia? Now was her chance to reinvent hers

A fun, funny, light read. It was very predictable in the beginning. As I read on, I got caught up in the twists and turns of the plot. Maybe they should have been predictable too (as I’d read in other reviews), but I was so present in the story and enjoying it, that I didn’t think of the plot twists ahead. Towards the end, the predictability came back, if only because of the nature of the novel. But, I didn’t mind. The way Crane brought the story to a climax and close entertained me to the very

Spoiler alert
After enjoying Crane's other novels, I am disappointed my this sopomore effort. The protagonist is a weak doormat who believes that she needs to fake amnesia to get a life do-over. Granted, she gets a clue at the end and learns that all she has to do is speak up and things are different. Unfortunately, it takes around 300 pages for this revelation to take place.

I have just read this book and i liked it. It's interesting but i don't understand one thing. Why Todd is not mentioned anymore at the end of the book? I just wanna say that he helped Jordan and he loves her and in the end he is the trash? i would have wanted other end... Jordan is alone waiting for Travis at the beacon (or lighthouse... i still study english)... He doesn't come and Jordan is staing disappointed but Todd comes and he convices her to go home... She waits for him a couple of weeks

I’ve been wanting to read Forget About It for ages. Absolutely ages. I absolutely loved the sound of it, but I only got around to buying the book with an Amazon voucher a few weeks ago. I don’t really know what held me back from buying it before. Probably because there were other books I really wanted to read and also because I’ve never read one of Caprice’s books so I wasn’t entirely sure she was my kind of author. I finally took the plunge though, and bought myself a cheap second hand copy and

This is the first time I’ve read a Caprice Crane novel. I was thoroughly entertained and enjoyed Jordan’s story immensely. I liked that with Jordan, any reader can relate to her as we all have walked in her shoes at some point, whether it’s the toxic family or the lousy love connection or the less than satisfying career or maybe all areas, even. So, here we have a heroine who sheds new light on being a doormat. I even began to feel a little frustrated with her that she allowed this treatment for

Okay so perhaps it isn't the most stimulating read for you intellects out there but its sure to emit a chuckle or perhaps even a lol here and there.
I read it on vacation and was really happy with how quickly it flowed and easy it was to put down and pick back up. Jordan is some one I think everyone can relate to, we all have some aspect of our lives that we wish we could forget or something from our past that we wish we could do-over.

This book isn't life-changing, it probably won't make you run out and fall in love with the next guy you meet, but the main character is somewhat interesting, her romantic exploits are easily relatable and the ending is satisfying. Unfortunately, I never really warmed up to her enough to really care about her plight. It is not that she's a terrible character, it's just that her voice is a little off-putting. I also found her mother and her younger sister to be somewhat unbelievable as characters

This was a very interesting idea for a book and I really enjoyed the story. The first few chapters set up the book and described how bad her life was so it took me until about page 50 to start getting into it. As with most "chick-lit" her life is bad because she lets herself get treated badly which is super frustrating. I did really like how the author let her learn her lesson in a non-goofy, "now I'm ok because I got a man" way. It was a great summer read but I probably w

What a hysterical read! Hysterical doesn't even do it justice. Maybe "freakin hysterical." I was laughing out loud so many times and wanted to read so many excerpts to my hubby and he actually found some of them funny. I kept telling him he had to have read the few parts before to really get it.
I feel the exact same way that Jen Lancaster does, "So clever I wish I had amnesia so I could read it again for the first time." THIS IS SO TRUE! It would be awesom More...

It was good, I enjoyed it. However, there was one point, towards the end of the book where I just stopped and said, "No it didn't! This is a joke, right?" But it wasn't and that upset me. I won't spoil it, but I would be wary of reading this just for that one point. Those who have read this book easily know what I'm talking about and I'm sure many of them feel the same when. It's a suspension of belief too great for even me. Other than that, I really enjoyed the book!

Having reached a certain age, I limit myself when it comes to books about angst ridden twenty somethings. Do they really have enough decades under their belts to be so unhappy with their lives? The desire for a do over has a fairly universal appeal. I'm more of the if-you don't-want-to-betreated-that-way-then-why-do-you-allow-it school, but I did enjoy seeing Jordan get back a little of her own. Although, neither her mother or scumbag Dirk got nearly what they deserved.

I enjoyed Caprice's debut Stupid And Contagious, so decided to read this as well. Considered "chick-lit" but I recommend for either gender, if you like books with great humor that delve into the emotional and sometimes dysfunctional aspects of relationships, both romantic and those between parents/children. Although the storyline is not realistic in this one, it's still an enjoyable read if you discount that aspect.

When Jordan gets hit by a car, everyone thinks she has amnesia. Well, even though she doesn't, she doesn't feel like correcting them.
And so begins the life of the new and improved Jordan Landau!
She no longer lets her cheating boyfriend get whatever he wants out of her. She no longer lets her mother and half sister walk all over her. She no longer lets her boss take all the credit for everything she does.
But what happens when she really does forget?

Cute chick lit; better than most. A quick read, but like with most chick lit, you have to suspend your disbelief. Crane can write and parts of the book are quite funny. It was also nice to have a character who actually knows what she is doing at her job. (I'm talking to you, Becky Bloomwood.) Despite the fact that the ending was predictable and everything got neatly resolved, I did enjoy this book.
