Unforgettable Mistakes - Now Published
If you haven't read The Unforgettable Summer yet, I strongly advise you at least read that first, as there will be big spoilers in this book! This book comes after The Unforgettable One, but the Unforgettable books are all stand alone novels. Amy used to be the life of the party, now that she graduated college and it's time for the "rest of her life" to begin, she's not sure who she is or where she fits in. Her family life has never really been what it seems. She's always been daddy's little girl, but now she struggles to live up to both her parents' expectations. Then again, she has a talent for pretending. Her parents have an idea of not only the kind of job she should have, but also the type of man she should marry, so she dates what they see as the perfect man for her and has fun with the men she wants. There's one man who has been a constant in her life. He's always there for her in any way she's wanted or needed and he's one of her best friends, Matt Young. They've always had the perfect arrangement, so what's changed? Does Amy deserve her happily ever after? Will she get it? Matt has never been shy when it comes to women. He's had several girlfriends, slept around when he wanted and doesn't have a care in the world. At least that's how most of his friends see him, even Amy, but he's always been a big romantic at heart. He began falling for Amy many times over the years, but she always insist they weren't serious. So, he did what he had to do and faked it. He took the parts of her she was willing to share with him.

Now that their friends are all getting married and even starting families of their own, Matt is ready to start his own future. Will he take his chance with Amy or decide it's time to move on?
