Why read it?

2 authors picked Don't Forget to Write as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Sara Goodman Confino is a go-to author for me. Her stories never fail to delight, impress, and intrigue. Each adventure is like stepping into a whole new world.

In the case of this book, we are taken back in full technicolor to the 1960s and are met with a wonderful concoction of mixed generations melding together in a coming-of-age-young-woman versus a wise-older-aunt story.

I loved this multi-generational book about family, love, and finding yourself in the most unexpected ways.

The characters are so well-developed, and the New Jersey Shore setting is downright dreamy. Marilyn is a strong and inspiring protagonist. I couldn’t put it down, but also did not want this book to end!
