This book is SO amazing. Every page is like a poem or a song. It’s so beautiful! I love books about people who are different races, orientations, with disabilities, etc. Calliope is a great protagonist. She is brave (like the poppy). She always can help others and knows when to do the right thing. She wishes she was different. I can relate to her personality, because I am kind and I help others, but I also feel bad about myself, and I’m not confident. If you read this book, you will definitely cry, laugh, and learn new things. Tourette’s syndrome is usually misjudged. People think people with Tourette’s are angry 24/7, curse 24/7, and hurt others physically and mentally. Calliope is the opposite of that. She is kind, funny, loving, and a great friend. Jingsong is a great sub-protagonist as well. He is caring, and he stands up for others. When others were teasing and bullying Calliope, he protected her and had a gut feeling that he needs to take action. I believe we all need to be like Jingsong,(of course, without the punching) and stand up for what is right. I definitely recommend this to everyone. The different character Arcs and perspectives are a great way to fill in details that the readers want to know more about. I love the verse writing so much for Calliope, and Jingsongs perspective are so detailed and many poem-esc vibes are in the text. I want this author to write a sequel or another book like this. Thank you so much!

Forget Me Not is the story of Calli, always moving because of her mother's boyfriends, and Jingsong, Calli's neighbor. Being the new kid is hard enough, but Calli has Tourettes Syndrome, causing her to make sudden outbursts. Jingsong wants to be friends with Calli, but he doesn't want to be known as being "friends with the weirdo". Eventually, Jingsong admits that he likes Calli, and faces the truth, Calli's going to move away again. I loved this book and would recommend it to everyone.
