Don’t You Forget About Me

After being sacked from her waitressing job at a terrible restaurant, Georgina Horspool heads to her boyfriend’s place, where she catches him in the act of cheating. As if things couldn’t get worse, she takes a gig as a bartender at a new pub only to discover it’s owned by Lucas McCarthy, her first love from when she was a teenager—and he doesn’t remember her. Meanwhile, Georgina is still grieving her dad’s death, she feels like a disappointment to her mum for not having a more successful career, and she’s constantly having to deal with conniving men. Amazingly, Georgina continues to view the world with warmth and humor, which is apparent through her smart, light-hearted, first-person narration. Her interactions with a lovely group of supportive friends add levity to this second-chance romance. ­
