Forget or Forgive? Never! by Charlotte Stuart is a
dark and intense story about Callista, a woman with mismatched features who has
endured a lifetime of bullying, rejection, and emotional pain. The story
follows her journey from feeling powerless and invisible to plotting calculated
acts of revenge against those who wronged her, including her boss, Dane Weaver,
and colleagues who dismissed her contributions. As her desire for retaliation
grows, she carefully plans and executes minor acts of sabotage and harassment while
struggling with her morality and the blurred line between justice and
obsession. The story culminates with her taking drastic measures to settle old
scores, raising questions about whether revenge can ever truly bring closure or
deepen the cycle of pain.
Charlotte Stuart has crafted a tale that is psychologically
grounded, exploring the psyche of a woman shaped by pain and hurt. I was
stunned by how she draws the inner world of Callista, deftly examining the
unsayable features of the pain she questions. The pathos is intense, and it is difficult
to ignore what this character endures. The question of whether revenge can lead
to closure is cleverly handled, and readers who have been hurt will easily
connect with her humanity—the unbridled emotions, the harbored pain, and the
sheer pleasure of seeing those who humiliated her suffer. Characterization is
stellar in this narrative, and apart from Callista, who is driven by her
insecurities and bitterness, characters like Dane Weaver, her handsome yet
dismissive boss who overlooks her contributions; Adriana, a colleague who
falsely credits her work; and Karen, her new confidante and partner in
crime, are well-developed. Recounted in a mesmerizing first-person narrative
voice, Forget or Forgive? Never! presents a delightful tale that is
psychologically grounded and emotionally resonant, with characters that ground
the narrative and a world that is just too familiar to resist. It is hauntingly dark and utterly unpredictable.
