Review: Hard to Finish
Rating: 2 out of 5

I loved the premise of Fast Forward and I really wanted to like the book but I had trouble finishing it. None of the characters act in a realistic manner. Kelli tells her doctor she doesn't remember the last 25 years and he tells her to try and have a good day. Her husband says things like "Remember? You broke up with Grant and married me and we've been together 25 years?" when she doesn't recognize him. Everyone takes the memory loss in stride, even when she can't work basic things like her telephone. I couldn't root for anyone because no one felt real.
