Summary:

Each night when 16 year-old London Lane goes to sleep, her whole world disappears. In the morning, all that's left is a note telling her about a day she can't remember. The whole scenario doesn't exactly make high school or dating that hot guy whose name she can't seem to recall any easier. But when London starts experiencing disturbing visions she can't make sense of, she realizes it's time to learn a little more about the past she keeps forgetting-before it destroys her future.

Part psychological drama, part romance, and part mystery, this thought-provoking novel will inspire readers to consider the what-if's in their own lives and recognize the power they have to control their destinies.

My thoughts: 

Wow, this book is amazing. I cannot believe how well Cat Patrick told this story. This is her debut, and already it's set for worldwide release in June, with a movie on the way! If that doesn't promise a bright writing future for Patrick, then I don't know what is.

[Giveaway News] Have you FORGOTTEN?

Here's the thing about me:

I can see my future, but my past is blank.

I see the future in flashes, like memories. I remember what I'll wear tomorrow, and a car crash that won't happen till this afternoon. But yesterday has evaporated from my mind - just like the boy I love. I can't see him in my future. I can't remember him from my past. But today, I love him. And I never want to forget how much.

In September 2009 the entire team at Hardie Grant Egmont paused for two days and read Forgotten. Nights of sleep were lost. We grappled with the concept over morning coffee and we couldn't stop wondering what it would be if we all had memories like her.

It was a unanimous decision. We had to have Forgotten

In a heated bidding war we won the ANZ rights and we are delighted to join the worldwide release of Forgotten in June 2011.

Forgotten is one of those rare stories that stays in your mind and touches your heart long after you've read it.

We all know that this book has already been given film rights (Paramount), even before its release date!

Are you waiting for the largely anticipated release of Forgotten by Cat Patrick? I know I am! Luckily I was given a copy of Forgotten to review, but it only seems fair that my readers get a chance to read this book BEFORE the release date! -- That's right! A giveaway.

Why is this on my top-wishlist?
Forgotten is a debut contemporary novel! This sounds so good. Hopefully I won't be disappointed, since the covers are all so, so pretty! I'm tempted to get all three versions--beautiful.
