Unforgettable You

Unforgettable You was a wonderful story that I was engaged in from the very beginning. Carrie Gable both lives at and runs the Gable Inn with her mother-in-law, Doreen. Carrie is not only doing her best to make ends meet, but she's also caring for Mama as she is showing early symptoms of dementia. With both Mama's son and husband having passed away years before, Carrie has to do her best to navigate the fact that Mama doesn't remember along with doing everything she can to keep the doors to the Inn open and a roof over their heads. Will Walker has come to Iowa and the Gable Inn when the film he's starring in is filming in the area. Their production team has chosen the inn as their housing for the next several months and while most of the crew is very Hollywood and high maintenance, Will is anything but. He finds himself drawn to Carrie and he sees how hard she works and wants to help make things easier for her. While Will treats Carrie and Mama differently than his co-stars, he definitely hasn't left all of his "Hollywood" self in tinseltown. Carrie and Will end up giving in to their attraction, but they keep it quiet given they want to keep it out of the news and also they want to avoid the production team finding out. They are there for one another and support one another as they learn more and more about their lives to that point. When the film is over and Will has to go back to LA, are these two going to be able to make a go of a relationship? Or will the pulls and pitfalls of stardom lure Will back in? As always Bolden delivers a book that is so realistic that you find you could see yourself in the town and story. The struggles that Will and Carrie were going through are real and you felt for both of them as the story unfolded. I liked that they brought out the best in one another and they also fought for each other and for the things they believed in, even if it took some time for them to see what those things were. This was such a wonderful read and one I'd highly recommend.

This is a women's fiction story with some romance thrown in but the main catalyst of the story. The author does a great job of mixing the two in while having you evaluate your life at the same thing. I felt for Carrie and found myself feeling the emotions as the story progressed. I may have cried and I am not ashamed to admit it.

This is a wonderful story, so easy to read and hard to put down. I loved every second of it.
