F is Forget Me Not, by Carolee Dean (book review) – photo goes public, is her life over?

book cover of Forget Me Not by Carolee Dean published by Simon PulseOne photo,
two people,
future ruined.

Social media has its good side, but not for Ally when someone texts a compromising photo of her to the whole school (and it wasn’t a solo portrait).

She’s blocked out whatever landed her in H hall, a live person surrounded by the ghosts of teen suicides, so Elijah braves the haunted site to help her find the way out.

Several poetry styles (and a few screenplays) in multiple voices trace the stories of Ally, Elijah, Oscar and the ghosts from now through their painful pasts.

How far would you go to be unforgettable?

My book talk: Once-popular Ally just wants her classmates to forget about that scandalous photo, but someone wanted her forgotten forever.

She finds herself in “the haunted hallway” at school with the spirits of kids who died nearby, but she’s not dead – yet.

Elijah knows that if Ally can’t break through the memory wall she built after that photo went viral, she’ll be stuck on H hall forever.

He loves her too much to let that happen, even though Ally longs only for Davis, who promises to break up with Darla.

Who sent that photo?
Who went on the school roof with Ally?
Who wants her out of the picture for good?

This novel-in-verse traces Ally’s past hopes, current despair, and possible future – the choice is now hers. (One of 6,000 books recommended on www.abookandahug.com)
