Book Review: The One You Can't Forget

Title: The One You Can't Forget
Author: Roni Loren
Series: The Ones Who Got Away, Book #2

Publication Date: June 5, 2018

The One You Can't Forget, by Roni Loren is a contemporary romance that features tragically heart-breaking themes, while also still being sweetly romantic.

Rebecca Lindt is one of the students who got away and survived after a horrific shooting during their high school prom. This tragedy drastically changed her life, especially since she was shot and is still dealing with the ramifications from that night. Twelve years later, Rebecca (along with her classmates) returned to her hometown to assist with a special project, and she reconnected with three friends.

Rebecca is focused on her job as an attorney, and she strives to win the cases for her clients. After suffering from the viciously intense divorce, Wes Garrett is struggling after losing his dream restaurant. However, Wes re-encounters his ex's attorney, when he helps save her from a mugging. This incident leads to various complications and interactions, including Wes and Rebecca acting on their mutual attraction.

Since it's the second book in The Ones Who Got Away series, it's ideal to start reading at the beginning of the series to follow the overarching story. However, after reading the first book, I was slightly anti-Rebecca, which caused hesitancy to start this book even though I was highly intrigued to continue this amazing book series. Of course, I adored reading from Rebecca's point-of-view.

The One You Can't Forget is recommended and geared towards those who are interested in modern romances, despite the tragically heart-breaking underlying issues, yet still hopeful storyline. And I'm definitely looking forward to reading future books in the series!
