In 1986, Jamie Parker falls in love. What could be bad about that? Nothing except that the object of her affection is Val DiLeona, friend and fellow administrator in the same conservative school district. If Jamie has misinterpreted that Val reciprocates her feelings, confessing her affection could result in the end of their friendship. Then there is the little matter of the consequences at work. Outing herself as a lesbian could result in her losing her job. Nearly thirty years later, in 2016, Jamie meets ambulance driver, Kelly, in a hospital waiting room. Upon learning how long Jamie and her partner have been together, Kelly asks Jamie to tell her their story. As Jamie begins, neither woman can imagine the impact their casual conversation will have on their lives, and the lives of those they love.
Don't Forget AJ Adaire Books
This is what I always have been looking for but hardly have been able to find. A love story with an older couple and a story that does not stop at the first encounter but spanning years following the main characters. This is a story with real depth and a remarkable relationship development. The biggest part of the story is set during an era when sexual identity could sent your entire existence into disarray. You had to keep your sexuality hidden because of all the consequences. And not to mention the social discomfort. In that time you must be very careful about who you came out to. The author did a great job with telling the life story of Val and Jamie, two amazing women. Their struggle to figure things out, their way of dealing with prejudice was masterfully put down. The off-beat way in which this story is told is very appealing. All characters were heartwarming and I have never felt so connected to characters as in Don't Forget. I cared deeply for them. This book I'll surely read several times. A true love story that is very dear to my heart and I strongly recommend it.Product details

Don't Forget AJ Adaire Books Reviews
This was another great romance story by AJ Adaire. This one is actually about an older couple who is downsizing. When one of them falls and winds up in the hospital, the other makes friends with one of the paramedics who came to the rescue. To keep Jamie's mind off what might be going on with her partner, the paramedic asks her what their secret is, and the story begins. The story seamlessly shifts back to the "old days" when it was much more of a challenge--and much scarier--to tell someone you cared for them. Losing your job, not to mention losing the friendship you already had, was very real. This was a wonderful story, just what I expected from AJ Adaire.
I thoroughly enjoyed this charming book. The pace was a bit slow, but it matches the story. This story is set around the pretext of one of the main characters who is now retired, telling her relationship story to a younger woman who is struggling with her relationship. I would not expect a recollection novel to move fast.
A delightful read.
A sweet journey through the history of two hearts that have been beating as one for thirty years.
This is a well-told, well-crafted story starts in the 1980s and goes on to present day. It describes how two women have to be concerned about society's reaction to their love. There is some humor to offset the drama and always a love story for the ages.
Flawlessly edited and so well-written that I'm immediately going to look for my next AJ Adaire book!
Timeless Love Story. I feel like I've known both Jamie and Val. Watching their love grow from a friendship into a passionate romance with staying power was wonderful. Funny and full of the little things that long term couples have happen. True, deep and abiding love throughout. A realistic look at what it was like before our constitutional rights to love and live openly as married couples can generally enjoy in 2017. Love conquering with the motto, "where there is a will, there is a way." WELL DONE!!
A.J. Adaire is one of my favorite authors. Don't Forget is the latest of her novels. I loved the story because it focused on the long term relationship that Jamie and Val had and it also showed how friends can turn into lovers and lovers can resume a friendship once they no longer are a couple. Jamie and Val's relationship was put through a test because of their careers but their love for one another was too great and they had no choice but to act on their feelings. The story took place in the 1980's and it makes us realize how far we've come since then. If you haven't read the other eight books that A.J. Adaire has published, I strongly recommend you do so. I'm sure you will have more than one favorite like I do.
AJ Adaire has written a heart warming story, one many of us can identify with. Of two long time friends who made the transition from friends to lovers, with the associated angst of losing the friendship in case things didn't work out and the fear of not grasping the happiness before you. I love the sparkling dialogue between the characters. As with AJ Adaire's other works, I love the realism in what she writes. The shift between past and present was seamlessly woven. I'd be re reading this book time and again.
I loved this story. Happy to read about older women. Tired of all the young coming of age stories. It was great to hear how women in their later thirties fell in love and then the older Jamie telling someone much younger how she met and fell in love with Val. Especially teachers in the 1980'S trying to keep their jobs while finding a way to live together. Finished it in one reading because I could not put it down. Worth buying.
