The Unforgettable Alexandra Shaw is a very intriguing novel with unexpected twists and turns to a very mysterious story. I was fascinated with the unique title and beautiful cover of this book when I first saw it and it indeed has a promising, chilling thrill to it. Alexandra and the other characters in this book were the typical cliqué in every fictional highschool setting, but the plot was written quite well as it traversed through friendships, falling in love, redemption, and reclaiming one’s identity through remembering. The storytelling was incredibly fast-paced and it never fell flat. This author definitely knows how to write an exhilarating story. I felt gaslit throughout the entire book, which was perfect as it painted the atmosphere in such a dark manner and conveyed what the author really wanted. This book is perfect for Teen and YA readers seeking mystery and a riveting adventure. I can’t wait for the next book!
