Publisher's summary

No two people are exactly alike, but Elijah Crowe is very, very different. Elijah is on the autism spectrum, so the tasks of day-to-day life most people breeze through are a challenge for him. His career suffered because he never got the hang of schmoozing, and now he wastes his talents teaching classes at the mall. His social circle is limited to his ex, his therapist, and a structured inclusion group at the Rec Center. The one bright spot in his life is the memory science of Mnemography.

Although he loves nothing better than devouring the latest research and tinkering with all the specialized equipment, he never clicked with any other experts in the field until he met Daniel Schroeder. Daniel runs a memory palace - he even writes his own mnems - and that shared interest alone would make him fascinating. But Daniel and Elijah met under unusual circumstances, where the statement, "I like you, and I think you like me," held some surprising nuances.

Now Elijah suspects he's gay, but the few prominent people in his life are less than supportive. Some are downright hostile. Elijah might not be neurotypical, but he's plenty smart. Surely he can figure out some way to make people accept him for who he is.

Phenomenal narrator

Vocal variety is amazing. No two characters are the same. His voice for the main character, who is autistic, is consistent throughout even though it's an unusual speech pattern. I like this author's work, but this is one of those situations where the performed version is better than reading it on your own (ordinarily, I don't listen to books I haven't already read, but this was a long road trip, so....)

I want to read the next one

We continue with a different point of view. Its exciting to see the workings of a different brain. The confusion, the hesitancy, and the peace.
Seth was perfect for this book, his voice is soothing.

Beautiful Story, great narration!

If you liked the first book in this series you will love this second book. Not only is the story itself great, but the narration is amazing. There was a specific incident in the book (I won’t spoil it) but I literally found myself so enthralled I was holding my breath! I would recommend this book, and the series, to anyone.

Possibly better than the first book!

Would you consider the audio edition of Forget Me Not to be better than the print version?

not sure as I haven't read the print version, but the narrator did an excellent job

What was one of the most memorable moments of Forget Me Not?

when the ex walks in... :)

What does Seth Clayton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Seth Clayton did a very good job narrating this one from Elijah's POV. He did well with changing up the cadence of the narration to account for Elijah being autistic & the way his thought processes slow down to try to think things thru & go manic with panic

Any additional comments?

so far this is a very entertaining series, can't wait for the 3rd book!

Amazing! My favorite of the series - Love Elijah!

I am constantly impressed by Jordan Castillo Price. I don’t know why I keep forgetting this, or maybe it’s less that and the more I read by her, the more I love.

I had avoided this series because I'm not a fan of speculative fiction in the dystopian sense, and something about the blurb felt that way - I'm not sure why. But really, the science fiction part is there, for sure, but this is more a story about relationships and expectations and dealing with people and their "quirks". I had no idea about the autism and I love that about this, but that's not all.

I am struck by how multi-faceted this story is. We have the fascinating science fiction – the ability to make “memories”, the philosophy that inspires – what is real? – the relationship between Daniel and his father, the relationship between Daniel and Elijah, the relationship between Elijah and Beth and Elijah’s autism. It’s just so much! You’d think that with all this going on the story would be bulky or awkward, but it isn’t.

Jordan is just so gifted that all the nuances are neatly ensconced in the story and as a reader, it isn’t until I’m thinking about it that I realize just how detailed and complex the story really is.

The second part of this trilogy is written from Elijah’s perspective and it’s FASCINATING! I’m not sure we can ever know what it’s like to actually be in someone else’s head, but in this case, the POV is startlingly different from being in Daniel’s head. Elijah just thinks differently so his perspective on events in not the same as you’d imagine the same events.

I loved that we got to see his yearning and understand where he’s coming from – then compare that to how Daniel feels and what he sees.

The story about Daniel’s father’s memory issues moves forward, but we see more about the romance in this installment. It’s so easy to see how Daniel fits in Elijah’s world so well and I was so pleased that when the two find themselves at a hurdle, they push through it rather than let it form a wall between the two of them. In this case, Elijah’s autism is really helpful, because he’s so damn direct that he won’t let Daniel sink into social niceties. Elijah calls him out and forces him to acknowledge where things went wrong so he can address it. It was so refreshing!

In any case, I can’t wait for the next installment and I really hope we see the entire series in audio format soon!

Highly recommended! (If you enjoyed Carry The Ocean by Heidi Cullinan or Ethan, Who Loved Carter, I’d recommend this story for you, as well.)


Audio

Seth Clayton did an absolutely amazing job with book one and he outdoes himself here. I really, really love the way he characterizes Elijah through his pacing and intonations. I thought this was my favorite as a book and I bet it’ll be my favorite as an audiobook, as well.

I think, when the chemistry is right, the right narrator sort of “embodies” the character and for me, it’s Elijah.

Excellent and highly recommended!

Another great book in the trilogy

This is my favorite of the trilogy because I love Elijah so much and his growth in this book, both in how Dan sees him, and, more importantly, how he sees himself is wonderful.
Again Seth Clayton does an outstanding job. He is definitely one of the best narrators out there. JCP is so good at matching her narrators to her books, I always know it's going to be a great experience.
