The Forgotten Girl by Jessica Sorenson ~ BLOG TOUR


THE FORGOTTEN GIRL Blog Tour
Jessica Sorensen
May 13th – May 21st


Twenty-one year-old Maddie Asherford is haunted by a past she can’t remember. When she was fifteen years old, there was a tragic accident and she was left with amnesia. 


In the aftermath, Maddie’s left struggling with who she is—the forgotten girl she was six years ago or the Maddie she is now. Sometimes it even feels like she might be two different people completely—the good Maddie and the bad one.

Good Maddie goes to therapy, spends time with her family, and works on healing herself. Bad Maddie rebels and has dark thoughts of hurting people and sometimes even killing them.

Maddie manages to keep her twisted thoughts hidden for the most part. That is until she starts having blackouts. Each time she wakes up from one, she’s near a murder scene with no recollection of what happened the night before and this helpless feeling like she’s losing control of her life. Maddie doesn’t want to believe she’s a killer, but she begins to question who she really was in her past. If she was bad Maddie all along and that maybe she was a killer.

The Forgotten Girl is a contemporary book that revolves around Maddie who woke up one night in the middle of the road in pain. She has no memories of what had occurred before but since then she's been having thoughts of wanting to hurt and kill people which has an impact on her mentally. Years passed by and she's struggling to deal with her thoughts - both good and bad - as they slowly take over her.
I've always loved Jessica Sorensen's writing. I've read two other books by her. Each time, it feels like her writing just sucks me in and into her world. Her characters and the emotions. They're all real. Jessica's writing captivates me.

In The Forgotten Girl, we're dealing with mental issues and I think Jessica dealt with it brilliantly. Half of the time, I'm not even sure what is real and what isn't. Sometimes it even feels like I'm Maddie. Not that I'm saying I have thoughts of wanting to kill. What I meant is the writing forces me to feel like I'm Maddie and experience the issues she's coping with. And so, the emotions I feel because of Maddie is just...indescribable.

Jessica Sorensen has always written contemporary romance brilliantly. This is entirely new and different. The Forgotten Girl isn't a romance novel. It's more of a mystery and thriller novel that messes with you. Each chapter leaves you lingering. For those who've been introduced to Jessica Sorensen's writing, I definitely recommend trying this book out even if it strays away from your usual genre. Jessica handled the story well as usual. And for those dark contemporary lovers, definitely check this one out. You do not want to miss this!



Excerpt

After sitting for a while, I manage to get to my feet and check my pocket for my phone, but it’s gone so I stagger through the trees and mud. I don’t even know where I’m going, what woods I’m in, how deep I am in the trees. I could walk for miles and be going in a circle and never know it, but I’m not worried about that. There’s a spark of recognition in my mind and it feels like my feet are following an invisible path, like they’re my compass, guiding me toward wherever it is I need to go. Maybe I subconsciously remember hiking out here last night. And I luck out. After walking for about five minutes, I hear the sounds of cars. There’s a road nearby. Even though it hurts, I pick up my pace, tripping over my feet and bumping into trees. I’m getting closer, the sound of the cars becoming more defined, when suddenly it happens. A spilt second before it occurs, my mind registers that it’s going to happen but before I can respond, I trip over something solid and fly to the ground face first in the dirt, my nose slamming against a rock. Blood drips out of my nostrils and runs down my chin as I roll over, terrified to look, because I know what it is
A dead body.
Lying in the dirt. Face up. Eyes open. Wavy hair matted with dirt and smothered with blood, along with his polo shirt, the top one missing. The man from the bar that got rough with me is dead by my feet. And I can’t remember last night. Again. I can’t do anything, but check. Putting my hand into my pocket, my fingers brush a small, smooth object. I don’t take it out, already knowing what it is. Tears burn at my eyes, my heart thuds violently.
Run!
