Ahhhh, the conclusion to this duet.
It was just about perfect. The thing about Ollie and Reid is that I could feel their emotions. There just isn't a sweeter couple out there than the 2 of these guys trying to find their way back to each other. It's kind of hard to let them go. :)

5 FOREVER CROWNS
Phew!! With that ending I can still be hopelessly in love with Brooke Blaine’s words. She brought all the emotions, so much so that my heart was full to bursting by the end.
Ollie and Reid, who I have name Rollie because I adore them, are just EVERY-FREAKING-THING. I love them as individuals. I love them as a couple. They are great as people, and yet so much better together. I adore them. You need to meet them. You will not be able to resist their charm.
Alright, this story is not as angsty as you would expect. There is still hard times a plenty, but this story is so much about love really being able to defeat the odds. I think it is why I loved it. Reid and Ollie are about the chemistry, that electricity you feel with another person. It isn’t logical, it is chemical, felt deep in your bones & completely inexplicable. What solidified my complete infatuation with this duet is when the theme of people fall in love with people is presented. Just like that, I want to thrust this book into everyone’s hands because that is the TRUTH! In a world defined my gender and sexual orientation, this couple, one in particular (it would be a spoiler if I told you who), shows us that it doesn’t matter. What matters is the feelings, the soul recognize itself in another, the support, the companionship...gah! I could go on forever.
This duet is perfection. It exemplifies love in its purest form, what humans long for, crave, desire, and it shows the importance of acceptance, something we all need a bit of today. Brooke Blaine already had my reading heart, but she locked up tight with is one.

I really enjoyed this story. For some strange reason, it's broken up into two "books" so you have to read [b:Forget Me Not|38486717|Forget Me Not (The Unforgettable Duet #1)|Brooke Blaine|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1518385033s/38486717.jpg|59610750] for the first half of the story.
I liked the first half better. I particularly liked the MCs dialogue and interactions. It's basically a gfy trope with an amnesia theme. You have to suspend disbelief in order to enjoy the story. It's pretty far fetched. But the writing is really good and the love story very sweet.

Great ending to the duet! I enjoyed Reid's perspective, as the first was solely Ollie's. This book was all about Reid finding himself again. His character portrayed the amnesia trope perfectly. Wish it was a little longer, but was overall a great read!

4.5⭐️ I honestly wish this story had been longer. I could read about Reid and Ollie forever. They’re just so wonderful together. I love them.
I took off half a star because I wanted the resolution to pack a bit more of an emotional punch whereas it was more subtle and gradual. But overall, a lovely story. Definitely a must-read.
