Since her mother vanished nine years ago, Anamae and her father have shared a quiet life. But when Anamae discovers a brooch identical to her mother's favorite pendant, she unknowingly invites a slew of trouble into their world.

The jewels she finds are not just jewellery, they're a highly developed technology capable of cloaking the human form. Triggering the jewellery's power attracts the attention of a secret society determined to confiscate the device - and silence everyone who is aware of its existence. Anamae knows too much, and now she's Enemy Number One. She's forced to leave her father behind when she's taken in by a group determined to keep her safe. Here, Anamae searches for answers about this hidden world.

With her father kidnapped and her own life on the line, Anamae must decide if saving her dad is worth risking her new friends' lives. No matter what she does, somebody is going to get hurt.

Most of the young adult fiction I read is urban fantasy, so the science-fiction angle in Forget Me Not was somewhat new to me - but, like all good sci-fi (and fiction in general), this book was character-driven. I didn't feel like I needed a physics degree to know what was going on, which is the main thing that puts me off sci-fi reads. The romance between Mae and Jax is well-developed and, even though I'm firmly Team Will (Mae's best friend), by the end I thought Mae and Jax were a cute and above all realistic couple. Unfortunately for Team Will, the poor guy never had a hope - he's so firmly in the friendzone that Mae can't see his attraction to her, not even when it's spelled out in so many words by a third party. Despite the romance subplot, the story is action- and character-driven, whisking you along. I did see the plot twist coming, but only by about a chapter, so I didn't get frustrated that Mae and the others didn't see it coming. (It always annoys me when I as a reader figure something out ages before the characters do. I'm all, COME ON! IT'S RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU!) I highly recommend Forget Me Not for people who love story-driven YA.
