From the acclaimed author of Gucci Gucci Coo and Apocalipstick comes a funny, sexy novel about questionable engagements--and a love worthy perhaps of the big screen. Florist Abby Crompton has a knack for arranging the most exquisite bouquets for the hippest clientele. If only her personal life could run as smoothly. Although her fiancé, Toby, proposed a month ago, Abby's still waiting for the ring. An up-and-coming lawyer, Toby's been far too busy to shop--let alone muster the energy for romance. If that wasn't frustrating enough, the night she's supposed to meet her future mother-in-law, Abby gets stuck in an elevator--with a sexy stranger bearing fine wine. Needless to say, a tipsy Abby arrives late for dinner and doesn't make the best impression. In the aftermath of the dinner disaster, Abby is thrilled to learn that a film studio wants to use her shop in an upcoming movie. But when she meets the director, Dan, she's shocked to discover that he's none other than the same man with whom she shared the elevator--and some highly personal information. Now, with Toby putting in more overtime, Abby's feeling even more neglected. And her attraction to Dan is growing daily--as her own life begins to mirror the romantic comedy he's shooting. Featuring an irrepressible heroine, Forget Me Knot blooms with charm, wit, and fun.… (mehr)

"FORGET ME KNOT", by Sue Margolis, is a naughty bit of British fluff, infused with humor and amorous escapades. The heroine of the story, Abby, runs a successful flower shop, but her life is filled with people who are not always whom they would appear to be. Her fiance, Toby, is impeccably gorgeous and increasingly remote. She meets an attractive and kind young man, Dan, when they become stuck together in an elevator. He seems to be a regular Joe, struggling to complete the low-budget film he wrote, directed and produced. He's definitely sexy, sweet, and creative. Is there more to him than meets the eye? Homosexuality, religion, race, and social classes are tossed around like dice. You'll rethink some of your own feelings toward unconventional people as you laugh all the way through this lighthearted tale.

If you like British Chick Lit then you'll enjoy this book from Sue Margolis. Forget Me Knot was an enjoyable read from beginning to end. I've been reading a lot of these books lately with characters I can't relate to because they aren't real - Abby, the main character is. She owns a flower shop, comes from an average family, and has a few close friends. She's engaged but her fiance works too hard - or so she thinks. She meets a guy she connects but nothing happens because she's engaged. I loved reading about the passion Abby has for the flower shop - it goes to show that if you really love what your doing you can do anything. Margolies knows how to write a story that talks about people you could care about without having it get hung up in the daily details.

This book is similar in style and story to "Notting Hill" which became a popular movie. It is a Britlit book. It was a fun one day read. Sue Margolis has several other books of a similar nature, so if you enjoy this one you will probably enjoy her others. On a scale of 1-5 (1=low/5=high) I would give this book a 3.5. Because this book is written in a formula, I had the plot figured out in the first 60-70 pages. It was a very light read, but well done. Sometimes you just need a simple story. (

Abby runs her own business Fabulous Flowers and is engaged to Toby. She’s from a working-class background and he’s very much not. In the UK, this is a huge deal. Her best friends are her school-mate Sophie and Martin, who works at her shop. Toby and Abby haven’t had sex in a while because Toby just can’t get it up. Sophie and Martin [who is gay] suspect Toby is gay but Abby just will not see it in her fiancé. In the meantime, a film decides to use Abby’s shop as a shooting location and the director, Dan is quite cute. As Toby and Abby fall apart, Dan and Abby, predictably begin a romance. Forget Me Knot is a very easy read. Margolis lays the clues out for the reader and uses simple words. She creates characters you know or quickly recognize. This book is the definition of chick lit in every sense of the word. The sex scenes are so graphic it’s a cross between a watered down Anais Nin and Penthouse Forum. There’s no depth in Forget Me Knot. (

Oh my God. What an awful jumble of chicklit clichés and shallow characters. The main character was the too-good-to-be-true Abby, who reads like a Mary Sue from schlocky fan fiction. Every single character is predictable, boring, and shallow. Most of the book describes events, backstory, and character "insights" instead of using dialogue or action to let the characters live, breathe, and develop.

As for the clichés, let's see: meet "cute" with devastatingly handsome and charming man while engaged to another man; get dumped; surprise meet "cute" again with DH&C man; gay best friend/co-worker; forthright female best friend who thinks so main character doesn't have to; cutesy occupation for protagonist; rich boyfriend turns out to be a jerk; protag's mother shocks the world and becomes world-famous; protag almost ruins new relationship with DH&C man because of Secrets; DH&C man turns out to be rich so we can all be happy while still being socially aware and righteously middle class. Did I miss any? (
