I absolutely loved The Forgotten Girl! This is the first novel of Kerry’s I have read. Her books were recommended to me by another author. I am so glad I took her advice and grabbed a copy of this captivating novel as I truly enjoyed it from start to finish.
This story surrounds a long running magazine called Mode once popular and successful but now in trouble. The headquarters are stationed in London, England. Stories about publishing intrigue me and the determined women who lead in the industry, too. The challenges they face can break your heart but to see them find a way around the hurdles is inspiring and Fearne is one lady who definitely has sacrificed everything (including friendships and love) to achieve her goals of success. But although she lands her dream job, she quickly discovers she has inherited a sparce and uninspired team, plus a boss who aims to shut the magazine down due to its current poor ratings. Can Fearne change everyone’s mind and turn this magazine around? She certainly tries and we cannot help but cheer her on. The journey is tough as she learns a lot of hard lessons on the way. But she is determined and once meeting a certain fascinating person from Mode’s past, she seeks her assistance.
With the story set in two time lines: Mode’s beginning of 1966 and Mode of the current day, there are some interesting comparisons and events. There are lots of secrets and unexpected twists from the past that flow into the present to keep you interested. It is a solid story with engaging characters and the move between two timelines is flawless. I enjoyed the ending and closed the pages with a satisfied heart. I am dying to read more of Kerry's stories. I certainly recommend the The Forgotten Girl for it is a story I won’t forget! 5 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
