It’s not often I read a book and think, “I’ll never be the same” after reading it, but that’s exactly how I feel after finishing Forget Me Not. It is a masterpiece in every sense of the word and I am in awe of the way Karissa’s mind works, not to mention that this is her debut novel.

The chemistry and steam was well written and started early. Whether it is in a dream world or what appears to be real life, it was done quite well! I found myself blushing at the dirty words more than one. Again, this author has skills and I will absolutely be willing to read another if I am prepared for what I am getting.I'm a seedling gifted to him by the cosmos, planted in the muddy cave of his chest under overturned soil. I grow best in his climate, he knows this, we're a perfect match. Is poetic spice a thing because the author straight up did something and I am in awe. This is smut, point blank, but, like incredibly emotional smut. Another reviewer called this book straight up Shakespearean erotica in space, and I can’t think of a better choice of words. The drama, the suspense, the emotional toll this book will doll out is utterly fantastic. This story is not for the light hearted but I truly believe it is so worth it. If I'm a book, then he's all the lines between every sentence. He's the curve of each letter reaching out to kiss the next, the swooping song of every italic, the pausing breath of well placed punctuation. I am the words, but he is the way in which you read them. But I’ll tell you the secret to appreciating this point of view. It is the only way to honor the portrayal of twin flames, star souls, soul mates.

I’m not here to provide for you a synopsis, you can find that elsewhere. But I wanted to come here honestly, completely vulnerable as I write this only minutes after finishing. Do yourself a favor and read “Forget Me Not”! You can read it for free through Kindle Unlimited. What a deal, reading such a remarkable debut romance novel through Kindle Unlimited. There is a soft trigger warning for emotional infidelity. The FMC is with the MMC in her dreams and thinks he's just a figment of her dreams, so it's complicated. ⁠But as someone who is easily triggered by the cheating trope, this didn't bother me. ⁠⁠ The world building and the sci-fi elements were enticing and well established. I was curious about it. I loved the setting and this ship that is our main location. Very well done! Even if I'd read the last chapter first, if I'd seen the ending before the start, I would have done it all again. Maybe each line would sting a little harder, every word would reach a little sweeter, every miscommunication would hurt so much deeper. But so would all the love.

I was immediately entranced by this story of a forbidden romance and fated lovers finally finding each other beyond their dreamscape. But when reality seeps in, they realize the path to each other is not as easy. I was so excited for this book. I heard about it on Booktok and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. And from the beginning, I was intrigued by the plot. A dystopian/sci-fi setting where she travels around the galaxy with her boyfriend, until the man she dreams about every night, finally meet in person. I had a couple issues with this book. This book now sits at the top of my romance tier along with A Court of Mist and Fury and Remain Nameless, which are some my favorite books of all time. I cannot thank @karissakinwordwrites enough for the gift of this arc. This book was such a pleasant surprise amidst a major reading slump and I am thankful to have gotten to read this incredible story before it released.🖤
