Review: FORGET TOMORROW by Pintip Dunn
Forget Tomorrow by Pintip Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Imagine a world where your destiny has already been decided…by your future self.
It’s Callie’s seventeenth birthday and, like everyone else, she’s eagerly awaiting her vision—a memory sent back in time to sculpt each citizen into the person they’re meant to be. A world-class swimmer. A renowned scientist.
Or in Callie’s case, a criminal.
In her vision, she sees herself murdering her gifted younger sister. Before she can process what it means, Callie is arrested and placed in prison. The only person who can help is her childhood crush, Logan, a boy she hasn’t spoken to in five years.
Logan breaks her free, but can she trust him? He’s almost the same boy she remembers, but now he’s a whole lot hotter. And he’s got his own past to deal with. Callie’s falling for him, fast, but she soon learns he has secrets of his own. Secrets that mean they can never be together.
Now, Callie’s on the run not only from the government, but also from her fate. If she wants any hope of a future with Logan, she must first find a way to protect her sister from the biggest threat of all—herself.
I LOVE this book so much!
The very concept the book is based on (receiving a memory from your future self) is so unique and intriguing, and Dunn creates amazingly lifelike characters who grab you from the very first page. Callie is a fantastic main character, and I especially loved the relationship between her and her sister, Jessa. And, oh the twists! And the ending–I did not see that coming!
The worldbuilding is rich and expertly done, woven into the story in manageable chunks. I really loved the SF feel this dystopian has.
The love interest, Logan, was one of my favourite characters. The chemistry between Callie and Logan is fantastic–very believable. But I think what I liked best about their relationship was that it drew attention to both these characters’ flaws. That just seemed SO realistic.
This is a must-read for anyone who loves a good dystopian.
