Book Review: "The Forgotten Girls" By Monica Potts




The Forgotten Girls is truly one memoir you may never forget in regards to women's friendships, love, and loss and how all three can hit milestones in remarkable ways.

To survive is to thrive and this book delves into that reality with checkmarks along the way that protest the rights of every person be heard.

Whether, we are addressing drug addiction, pregnancy, abusive relatioships, or mending friendships one can be sure that something will need fixing and something may falter.

I'm a speed reader who rarely reads memoirs but this one spoke to me from the start and I'm so glad I didn't take a DNF.

The beginning for me was full of struggles in the way it was written and how it felt to be a one sided downslide of a friend's bad choices in life.

The world isn't easy and as many of us know, "The Life of Hard Knocks" can make you or break you but it shall never become one.
I'm happy with the progression, the fall-out, and the repairs or lack thereof in these relationships as it shows true grit, heart, empathy, and concern and without such we no longer exist to serve others but rather be complacent in our thoughts and self serving.

Thank you to Monica Potts, the publisher, Netgalley, and Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
