Lost. Reckless. In love.
Cubby Clark is the heart of her band—loyal, earnest, and determined to make music that matters. But just as they’re about to break out, Connor, her on-again, off-again boyfriend walks away . . . and rockets to solo fame with a hit song tearing her down.
Left with a fractured band, a publicly adored and toxic ex, and relentless writer’s block, Cubby is barely holding it together.
The only thing keeping her steady are her friends and bandmates Darcy and Harry. Especially Darcy—bright, magnetic, and more guarded than she lets on. But, when a seemingly romantic photo of Cubby and Harry goes viral the same night Cubby and Darcy hook-up, the inseparable pair begin to fracture.
Thrust into a whirlwind tour, Cubby and Darcy are forced into close quarters. Now Cubby has one summer to decide what she’s willing to risk. Walking away would be easier. But staying might mean everything.

Review

I have been a Mazey Eddings reader since Late Bloomer and as a late bloomer myself that book hit close to home. You Won’t Forget Me is markedly adult and spicier than what we typically cover here, but it fits squarely in the sapphic new adult space we love at BookCrushin and is worth your time if that is your lane.

Cubby Clark wants to make music that matters. Her on-again-off-again boyfriend Connor wanted that too, until he left the band, went solo, and rocketed to fame on a hit single about how bad she was in bed. What follows is messy and sharp and very honest about how the music industry, social media, and parasocial relationships can turn real people into narratives that have nothing to do with who they actually are. Mazey clearly did her research and it shows in the way the industry mechanics feel lived in rather than decorative.

The sapphic slow burn between Cubby and Darcy is the emotional core and it earns its place. But what kept pulling me back was the late bloomer thread running through both of them, and specifically the comphet unraveling at the center of Cubby’s story. There is something very specific and very real about being a late bloomer who has been cuddling with her female friends and oops kissing them and convincing yourself that is just what besties do, right, totally normal, nothing to examine here. Mazey writes that particular flavor of self-deception with a lot of affection and zero judgment, and if you have lived any version of it you are going to feel very seen and possibly need a minute.

If you are going to read this one, listen to it. The audiobook features original music composed by narrator Abi Hardiman with lyrics written by Mazey herself, and it completely changes the experience. Hearing the songs Cubby is supposed to be writing and performing rather than just reading about them makes the whole story land differently. It is one of the best audiobook experiences I have had this year.
