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.

The good things about this book are that all the characters...more

I can get down with the fake amnesia, but the second thump on the head resulting in REAL amnesia? Can you say plot device? And the fact that Crane used this real amnesia as an excuse to basically drag out a hundred pages of useless conflict that had no real point other than getting all of Jordy's family members in one place so that she could scream at all of them after conveniently regaining her memories at the last second only makes it seem more contrived.

Her friends, Todd and Cat, are pretty much the best thing about the book. There's a plotline between Todd and Jordy involving Todd being in completely unrequited love with Jordan that has...no point whatsoever to the main plot of the book and only serves to distract and confuse the reader. The actual romantic man, Travis, is a breath of fresh air...in the 40 pages or so that he actually shows up. And Crane also throws in too many obstacles and misunderstandings through his part as well, so upon nearing the end of the book, you're reading just to get through the damn thing, without getting any real pleasure from the journey.

Jordy's family is a whole other story. They seem like cartoon villains rather than people - not unheard of in a chick-lit book, but because the overwhelming crappyness of Jordan's life is made so obvious in the beginning, it begins to look a lot like overkill. Not to mention the cliche of the evil stepsister - and the stepdad with no real personality save for a out-of-left-field moment at the end of the story.

In short, it's a weird book. Fun to read for the prose itself, I guess, but my advice to the author would be to go back over it again and CLEAN IT UP. Make it a concise, clear plot and cut out most of the shenanagains. We get that Jordan's boyfriend is an ass, we don't need him to trick her into almost-marrying him to prove that point. We get that Jordan and Travis are OMG MEANT TO BE, you don't need to add three hundred obstacles between them to make the ending satisfactory.

The whole thing lacked...poignancy, I guess, is the word I'm looking for. A good read, but nothing spectacular, and nothing close to what I was hoping for upon hearing the premise. (Fake amnesia! COME ON. How good is that?!)(less)

When an author writes a book I very much believe that everything from the beginning to the end is important for progression of the story.
However I'm so confused with this one. The first chapter is called "My first marriage" and then the protagonist goes on about how she married her best friend Todd when she was seven years old. Already in the first paragraph itself she has revealed a few things about Todd. Now I usually don't think about these things from before, but since Crane started with this in this novel, I really figured it was foreshadowing an upocoming relationship issue between her best friend Todd and the protagonist herself. Wrong readers! SPOILER ALERT right here: She didn't even end up with Todd. Todd is just her bff who is in love with her but she thinks of him as brother! Why oh why then my dear author did you start the novel with this, if you hadn't planned on getting them together? I mean Todd and Jordan's relationship (just frndship) could have very easily been shown without this beginning and we, readers would still believe in their frndship! And its not like it was character development either! I mean in the first paragraph she describes Todd as commitmentphobic! which is also a lie cause after Todd reveals (SPOILER ALERT) that he just wasn't into the other girls because he was just in love with his best frnd. Also I didn;t feel anything for Travis' and Jordan's relationship. I really thought he was just being nice to her for sympathy (accident and all) and when he didn't kiss her after their really nice date, I was really believing that he was just gettin close to her so she wouldnt sue him. And then when in court its revealed that he's married (which again Crane,why? we could have done without this) I really thought this was the golden moment where Jordan realizes he's unattainable and a cheat! and that she really ought to go back to the person who she married when she was 7 yrs old for GOD the novel started that way. And i can;t even begin to say how awful it was when the real amnesia started. I was just like, Crane you didnt! I mean blehhh...it was stretched out so much. And CAT what was her use in the book really? Jordan considers her her bff for life yet doesn't want to tell her when shes fakin amnesia! CAT was truly useless...Wow i really am an avid reader of chick lit and romance and it doesnt take much to please me but this one was really bad and could have a lot shorter without its useless details. The 1 star i give this book is just for some funny stuff that Jordan thinks/says... But really just a waste of time! (less)

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.

Ok ceritanya cukup santai tidak terlalu beratlah. Cerita ini menceritakan kehidupan dari seorang perempuan yang bernama Jordan Landau. Jordan memiliki 2 sahabat baik yaitu Todd dan Cat. 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.
Awalnya Jordan tidak terlalu berharap dengan kelahiran dirinya di dunia. Dia selalu menganggap kalau dirinya itu buruk dan tidak diharapkan oleh siapapun termasuk keluarga dan sang pacar yang bernama Dick. Jordan lebih memilih tinggal di apartemen dari pada tinggal bersama keluarganya. Jordan mengganggap ibu dan adiknya yang bernama Samantha sebagai orang yang membosankan karena selalu melakukan hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan kecantikan dan belanja, sedangkan Jordan sendiri tidak senang melakukan hal tersebut. Jordan juga memiliki masalah keuangan dikarenakan pengeluarannya lebih besar daripada pendapatannya. Selain di kehidupan keluarga yang dianggapny tidak pernah mengharapkan kehadirannya, di lingkungan kerja juga dia merasa tidak nyaman. Dia memiliki posisi sebagai traffic dan menginginkan jabatan sebagai script writer. Tetapi hal itu belum kesampaian, karena Jordan yang bersifat penakut terhadap apapun dan tidak berani menungkapkan keinginannya. Jordan selalu memiliki ide cemerlang untuk iklan-iklan. Dan hal itu dimanfaatkan oleh bosny yang bernama Lydia. Lydia selalu menyruh Jordan untuk membantunya dalam menuliskan ide-ide untuk iklan. Jordan senang karena ide-idenya bisa diterima tetapi dia tidak pernah mengatakan kalau itu adalah idenya kepada orang lain. Sampai suatu hari Lydia mengumumkan bahwa akan ada salah seorang traffic yang menjadi script writer dan Jordan menyangka bahwa dialah orangnya. Tetapi pikirannya salah, bukan dia tapi kurt yang merupakan pacar dari Lydia. Akhirnya Jordan marah dan pergi keluar kantor dan mengendarai sepedanya untuk mencari ketenangan dan disaat dia pergi ke restoran tempat dia bersama Dick kencan Jordan melihat Dick sedang bersama wanita lain, hati Jordan pun hancur dan dia menceritakan semuany kepada Todd.
Dan sesuatu terjadi menimpa Jordan dan akhirnya dia dibawa ke rumah sakit. Selama perjalanan ke rumah sakit Jordan mendengar orang2 menanyakan siapa namany dan beberapa pertanyaan lainnya. Akhirnya dia jatuh pingsan dan tersadar bahwa dia berada di rumah sakit dan melihat keluargany dan dokter. Kemudian Jordan memiliki ide untuk berpura-pura terkena amnesia. Hal itu dilakukannya agar dia bisa bangkit dan menuju Jordan baru yang tidak takut apa-apa serta meninggalkan Jordan lama. Dan yang tahu mengenai hal itu hanya Todd. Jordan meminta bantuan todd untuk mencari informasi mengenai amnesia. Dan Todd pun membantunya. Setiap hari Jordan dikirimi bunga dan coklat oleh orang yang menabraknya yaitu Travis. Travis merasa bersalah kepada Jordan karena telah menabrak dan mengakibatkanya lupa ingatan. Sementara Jordan jg merasa bersalah karena telah berbohong dengan Travis. Jordan dan Travis semakin lama semakin dekat dan mengakibatkan Todd cemburu. Jordan mengetahui kalau sebenarnya Todd menganggapny lebih dari sekedar teman. Dan suatu saat Jordan bertemu dengan Dick yang sedang berjalan dengan wanita lain. Jordan langsung mengambil keputusan untuk memutuskan hubungan dengan Dick.
Suatu ketika Jordan mendatangi apartemen travis dan mendengar pertengkaran antara Travis dan ben(pengacar travis). Travis mengatakan klo Jordan tetap menuntutnya ke pengadilan. Jordan pun bingung karena dia sendiri merasa tidak melakukan hal tersebut. Tapi Travis tidak mau mendengar penjelasan Jordan dan Jordan pun menyadari kalau sebenarnya Travis mendekatinya dengan alasan agar dia tidak dituntut. Jordan menghubungi ibunya untuk menarik gugatan tetapi ibu Jordan tidak mau. Dan akhirnya mereka pun bertemu di pengadilan. Jordan sangat ingin meminta maaf kepada Travis tapi Travis tidak memberikan kesempatan. Dan pada saat itu juga Jordan mengetahui kalau sebenarnya Travis telah menikah. Jordan pun pergi meninggalkan ruang sidang dan dia tiba-tiba terjatuh dan terbangun sudah berada di rumah sakit. Jordan mengalami amnesia sungguhan dan dia tidak kenal sama sekali dengan sekelilingnya. Selanjutnya apakah yang terjadi dengan Jordan? Bagaimana hubungannya dengan Dick, todd dan Travis? Silakan baca ya teman2 hehehe…

I was drawn to this book by some sort of inexplicable force. I read chick lit from time to time. It tends to come in waves; sometimes I love them and sometimes I hate them. I'd never read anything by Caprice Crane before and about one sixth of the way into this one I promptly scurried over to Paper Back Swap and ordered 'Stupid and Contagious'. Basically, her voice is really enchanting. It's the perfect blend of pop culture and enough traditionalism to keep it from sounding too dated too soon. S...more

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?

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 I was thrilled when it arrived. One weekend I was looking for something fairly easy to read and picked up Forget About It and I must admit I’m a bit torn.

The first thing I want to say is that Forget About It is an inspired plot. Yes it’s similar to the Kinsella novel Remember Me? along with the Cecelia-Ahern-part-created TV show Samantha Who? but it’s different because Jordan chooses amnesia. It’s not forced upon her, she chooses to do it in a bid to change her life. Personally I think it’s a brilliant idea for a novel and I thought Crane executed it well for the most part. It wasn’t entirely what I expected, the faux-amnesia wasn’t what I expected it to be, and there’s an even bigger plot-changer about 100-120 pages before the end of the novel. It does become a bit of a soap opera during those last pages, with some OMG moments and moments where I wanted to strangle Jordan merely because she wasn’t aware of the real truth about all of these people around her.

I must say, the book wasn’t as funny as I expected it to be either. Yes, I did laugh out loud a few times but I was expecting a laugh a minute. I follow Caprice on Twitter and she’s hilarious, so I kind of expected Forget About It to follow that. I also found some of the relationships during the novel to be lacking. The relationship between Jordan and Todd was very real to me, and Crane set it up wonderfully, with a brilliant confession-type scene early-ish on in the novel but that never panned out. At all. It was almost as if we were all set up to believe it was going to happen and I was mightily disappointed we didn’t get any sort of closure on the issue. Don’t get me wrong, I love it when an author throws us a curveball and gives us an unexpected ending, but when I get my hopes up for a couple and it doesn’t pan out, it sucks. I liked Travis as much as the next guy but I was invested in Jordan and Todd as a couple.

One thing Crane really excels at is making us love her characters. I loved Jordan. I get that what she does is nuts and a bit deceitful, but I lapped it up. Most of the people she fakes to deserve it anyway – her mother and sister and Dirk her horrible boyfriend along with her work colleagues – so it made it very easy for me to accept Jordan doing that. I didn’t think it was immoral or anything, in fact I was willing her own to fool them all, that’s how horrible most of the people around Jordan were. Cat and Todd, Jordan’s best friends were amazing. I’ve already professed my love for Todd above, but Cat was amazing and I’d have loved to have seen more of her, she was just the best friend you could ever ask for. Like I’ve said, Jordan’s family weren’t exactly anything to be proud of, her sister is cruel, her mother barely cares and the only member of Jordan’s family I liked was her step-dad Walter. Dirk was just plain old horrible, the less said about him the better. As for Travis, I liked him, I really did. Just, you know, not as much as I liked Todd.

The entire book was told from Jordan’s point-of-view, which works perfectly for Forget About It. For the most part I loved the book, I really did. It started well, the plot was inspiring and I loved Jordan and her friends. I loved how the faux-amnesia allowed Jordan to come into her own and be the boss for a change. But it all disintegrated with the big plot twist because although it wasn’t Jordan’s fault, I was annoyed at her for just blindly following Dirk despite the fact people told her otherwise. It made me quite angtsy in fact and I couldn’t wait for her to snap out of it, as I knew she inevitably would. I really wanted to love every page of this novel, and I think my expectations were possibly a little high, all my own fault of course. I would recommend the book because for the most part it’s good but I was also let down by parts of it. I still can’t get over the Jordan/Todd situation, it’s like it was all there, it was all set up, and then nothing. It has not, however, put me off reading the rest of Caprice Crane’s novels, I’ll definitely be picking up her other books as she definitely has huge talent as an author.(less)

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 wouldn't read it again.

I liked Ms. Crane's style of writing, the narration in first person perspective went alright, which can sometimes get boring. I felt related to Jordan in the story, plainly because of the doormat syndrome. She was too humble-from getting cab-stolen to cheated. And I guess, that drove her to do THAT THING, which eventually lead her to serious trouble. What I didn't like, though, was how she friendzoned Todd. In my opinion, they deserve to be together, not with Travis or Dirk. Still, a good read.

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.
