Forget about It

Don't forget: This is a MUST READ!

When I first started reading ¿forget about it¿ by Caprice Crane I didn¿t think I would really be able to relate to the main character, Jordan. I mean, what does a small town southern girl know about living in New York City? Nada! But, gladly, I was sadly mistaken! In Jordan, Ms. Crane has created a character that I think just about any woman can identify with, whether you be a southern hick or slick New Yorker. And it¿s not just Jordan. ¿Forget About It¿ is chock full of hilarious, real, and strangely believable characters, from the lyric singing homeless woman to the super-selfish-bitch sister, the queen-of-criticism-mother, and the super-sexy-totally-creepy-mega-jerk-boyfriend. Team the great characters with the outrageously inspired storyline and Ms. Cranes unique wittiness and superb storytelling skill and you have an instant hit! I read the book in one sitting I just couldn¿t put it down. Not only that, I got so into the book I found myself talking back to it, yelling, ¿You go girl!¿ and ¿Oh, my God!¿ many times throughout the book while rolling with laughter! If I could only recommend one book this year, it would definitely be ¿Forget About It¿!

Happy to have stumbled upon this one :)

I actually bought this one from the bargain section..having a gift card ha!I have actually paid more money for other books that I could do without but this one I paid less and I could read over and over again. Caprice Crane got this one absolutely right. The characters were very real..like any one of them could have easily been your best friend. I had to tell my husband some parts of it because he was looking at me like I was crazy because I laughed out loud so often! There were also some pretty insightful lines and opinions that you wouldn't expect from something that's meant to be a light and funny read. I loved it very much. The ending was great too...being the hopeless romantic that I am <3

hilarious!

Wow... this book was awesome! I was a little iffy about it at first when I read the back because it had sounded very similar to some books i read (with the whole amnesia thing), but it was GREAT! I can't tell you how many times i laughed out loud while reading it. If you're looking for a book to get your mind off of things and make you laugh, THIS IS IT!

Unforgettable

Before reading "Forget about it", I had read a book that had a depressing tone and needed a good laugh. I read this book in 2 sittings. It's a very easy read. Everyone can relate to maybe changing some aspect of their lives. Can't wait to see what else Caprice Crane has in store for the future.

A Must Read

This book is by far one of the most hysterical books I have ever read. At moments where the story line became serious, something funny would happen where I would literally laugh out loud. I don't read much, but I loved reading this book, and anyone who loves books with realistic and witty characters should definitely read Forget About It.

Fabulously funny

You can read the summary to see what the storyline is. I mostly

You can read the summary to see what the storyline is.

I mostly liked the tone, the pace, the New York setting, although I thought the set-up dragged too long. Jordan's got a crappy life because she doesn't stand up for herself, we get it.

I liked Jordan's wit and creativity, and I loved Travis and his lighthouse. What I didn't "get," despite the neglected/emotionally abused childhood, is why a woman with so much going for her would be quite so passive. The bad guys were a little too bad; they needed some redeeming qualities that would have helped explain her ambivalence at blowing them off. And the idea that somebody would be able to fake amnesia well enough to fool not only laypeople but doctors... pretty unbelievable. That she would then get REAL amnesia, AND that she would recover her memory JUST as she was walking down the aisle, about to marry the wrong guy... too many impossible things before breakfast, for me. I *would* read another book by this author, however.

Must read

Very enjoyable and quite funny! Had me hooked :]

EXCELLENT BOOK

I absolutely loved this book. It is one that you can't put down!

Loved it!

This is a must read!

Funny

This is a very cute book. I laughed out loud alot. I even read lines to my coworker when she looked at me like I was crazy for laughing out loud. It is a quick read and kind of predictible, but it is worth the read.

Fun, Fun, Fun

This was a fun, quick read. I really enjoyed this book a lot. I laughed out loud.

Starting From Scratch

Jordan Landau cannot stand her own life. Her mother drives her insane, her step sister is basically an evil minion to her mother, her step dad is a push over. Not to mention she's 25 and working for a company in which her manager takes credit for all of her hard creative work. And also a boyfriend who is a dirtbag, yet she does not seem to feel the need to end things with him. In short, her life sucks and everyone walks all over her. Well, what about when she gets hit by a car and ends up in the hospital, in which she gets this "genius" idea to "start all over" Therefore, she decides to fake amnesia and start all over from scratch. So she does. And things start turning around for her. Dumps the lame boyfriend, tells her boss to get her own ideas, and gets her manager's boss to hear HER ideas, and also ends up falling for the guy who hit her!
But what happens when a bat is swung and Jordan actually DOES get amnesia?


351 pages of giggling aloud, page-turning, and wishing you could somehow do the same sometimes. I liked this book because it a shot for someone to start all over and try to reinvent the way they really wanted to be. You really root for her and the man who is trying to be with her. I, at one point, wanted to be in her shoes. Only in simpler form. Not having to fake amnesia. That would be really complicated.

Only thing about this novel I found irking, is that who would EVER really take the time to fake amnesia to start over? Granted this is a ficitious book. And it's really well written. But still. Just seems a little out there.

Great Book!

This was a good book. I couldn't put it down, it was a had a great story line. The way the characters fell in love so it was different from those typical girl meets boy, girl falls in love with boy type books.

Just plain AWESOME!

This book is just a great read. The author is corky and funny. The irony alone makes this book into a definite read.

seriously one of my favs!

loved this book! couldn't stop cracking up out loud. her other book is amazing too.

A winner

At work advertising expert Jordan Landau¿s boss bypasses her to promote a less talented squeaky wheel yet has no qualms about taking full credit for Jordan¿s brilliant ideas because she knows her star employee is a wuss. Her personal life stinks too as her boyfriend is a cheater and her mother and younger sister disdain her as a wimp.-------------- Being despondent over not fighting back over all that seems to have gone wrong, Jordan wants to start anew. She gets her chance when she is in a bicycle accident she pretends to suffer from amnesia. Jordan begins to open her mouth at work, with her family and with kicking the cheater to the curb. She receives a promotion and begins dating the driver of the car that hit her and her bike.----------- The metamorphosis of Jordan from doormat to assertive is cleverly yet realistically designed so that reader believes in the heroine¿s changes. The support cast enhances the alteration as they must change in their side of the relationship to keep up with the suddenly self-assured Jordan. Fans will enjoy her ripping skin from her boss, her mom, her sis, and booting her boyfriend out of her life. Though the romance with the driver is unnecessary, readers will appreciate this fine character study as Caprice Crane¿s novels are proving intelligent and contagious.--------- Harriet Klausner

Funny, Poignant, Touching, Hilarious

Caprice Crane is smart. She makes you laugh while she's teaching you subtle life lessons that you don't even know you're learning until you finish. This book was just as funny as her first one but somehow more deep. I read that she wrote it as a tribute to her best friend who died of cancer--a friend who couldn't stand up for herself. Nobody has cancer in this book but the character is afraid of confrontation and gets treated like crap all the time...until she takes charge of her life and reinvents herself. Maybe she was trying to make her passed friend proud. Give her friend a voice and a shot at finally living the life she deserved. I loved it. I recommend it so so so highly.
