Don't You Forget About Me: An escapist, magical romcom from the author of CONFESSIONS OF A FORTY-SOMETHING F##K UP! Kindle Edition

by Alexandra Potter (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 582 ratings

A laugh-out-loud, magical romcom from the author of CONFESSIONS OF A FORTY-SOMETHING F##K UP!

After a bad break up, doesn't every girl wish for the same things?

* For her ex-boyfriend to stay single forever.
* Or maybe emigrate to a remote, uninhabited island?
* Better still - that she'd never met him in the first place!

But what if one of those wishes came true?

Tess is heartbroken when Seb breaks up with her and can't help blaming herself. If only she'd done things differently. If only she could make right all her regrets. Drunk and upset on New Year's Eve, she wishes she'd never met him . . .

But when she wakes up to discover this dream has come true, Tess realises she has a chance. To do it all over again. And to get it right this time.

From the bestselling author of ME AND MR DARCY, this heartwarming love story is for every girl who has loved, lost and dreamt of getting her man back.

I bought this as a good condition and expected it to at least have white pages but it’s a Pretty old book and all pages are yellow? Had I known I wouldn’t have bought it if I’m honest, I feel it was over priced

    I am in the middle of reading this at the moment. I love Alexandra Potter's style of writing, it just carries me away into another world. I am enjoying this new adventure. I have read a cople of her books already, I enjoyed my very first one so very much I immediately went out and bought every one she had written to date. I don't normally like 'chick lit' but Alexandra does this with a twist.
    If you like romantic stories with humour and a bit of fairytale fantasy rolled together please give her books a read.
    At the moment Tess (the heroine in this book) has wished she hadn't met Seb the love of her life..and her wish comes true ! She has however met up with again having bumped into him firstly in Starbucks then at a computer shop. She is about to embark on her second date. Fingers crossed for a happy ending for Tess and Seb !!

    I did enjoy this book, much like I do with Alexandra's books. However, I did find myself disliking the main character which made it harder to relate and get involved in the story. Nevertheless I still read the book start to end and liked it. Obviously it is predictable what will happen but like most stories its about going along with the rest of it until you reach the conclusion you know you will.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2012

    Don't You Forget About Me is a great new read from Alexandra Potter. It's another magical story which kept me hooked and I read it within a couple of days. It is the story about Tess who has been dumped by her boyfriend and makes a wish on New Years eve that she never met him, a wish that comes true the next day, she is the only one who remembers going out with him. She meets him again and tries the relationship again but does things differently in the hope that this time it will last - however she soon finds out that you can't change who you are to make a relationship work. I love Alexandra Potter and eagerly awaited the release of this book and it did not fail to impress. I love the way she makes her stories magical but still believable. A perfect holiday read!!

    She does it again…… another addictive page turner. I literally couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to read another one of her wonderful works of fiction - I must confess, I purchased all of them to date, since reading both her 40 something books and have become a huge fan.

    I enjoyed how second time round Tess began to notice she wasn't been herself or true to herself. It was a bit predictable but this didn't detract from the enjoyment.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Don't You Forget About Me - Alexandra Potter
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Loved it! Although each book has a different main character, you really feel for them, would love to have them as a friend, laugh with them and laugh out loud at them and really want them to have a happy ending. This book like the others written by Alexandra Potter have characters with heart and she writes with a lot of humour and things ordinary girls/women can identify with. Read nearly all of her books now and hope she writes some more. If you like the Shopaholic Series by Sophie Kinsella, you will enjoy these books too.

    Horay! Alexandra Potter is back with another fantastic magical adventure! This book is a funny and clever romantic comedy with a light sprinkling of magic realism. Easy to read, the words come alive and instantly transport you into the life of Tess Connelly and her flatmate Fiona. With twists and turns on every page, it's hard to put down and has a lovely feel-good moral at the end. Also works as a calorie-free cheer up tonic for the broken hearted :o)
