Review of Forgotten Yesterday by Renee Ericson

Ruby Miller's future was on track when she entered her freshman year of college at the University of Chicago. Everything seemed easy, possible, and full of hope, especially with Brent by her side.

However, life didn't go as planned and obstacles arose setting her on a very different path from the one she had envisioned.

Now, five years later, Ruby is piecing her life back together and moving on from everything that once tore her apart.

What happens though, when the one person who carries every memory of Ruby's happiest and darkest moments appears unexpectedly before her? Will she carry on or dive deep into her forgotten yesterday?

*Contains explicit language, sex, and mature themes. Recommended for readers 18+.

**A These Days Novella

*** This is a continuation into Ruby's adult life from the YA-M novel, After Tuesday.

 

Review by Gia:

Forgotten Yesterday is a novella.  It's not a stand alone.  You must read After Tuesday first.  I loved After Tuesday.  It was a sweet read.  I thought it ended nicely with Brent and Ruby going off to college together and having their whole lives ahead of them.

Forgotten Yesterday is five years after After Tuesday.  Ruby and Brent are no longer together.  I was a little confused at first on what was going on but Renee Ericson does a wonderful job transitioning from past to present so that we are not lost.

Brent and Ruby are great characters.  It's easy to connect with the characters.  Brent and Ruby's past is an emotional story.  I was a little teary eyed when reading it.  In the present Ruby and Brent cross paths again.  I loved to read how Brent and Ruby have grown and changed.  We ever get an update on Cody. 

This book left me wanting more.  I am excited that we will get more of Brent and Ruby in Deciding Tomorrow.
