"Moments We Forget" by Beth Vogt Book Tour and Give Away





About the Book

 Moments We Forget  

Author: Beth Vogt  
Genre: Contemporary fiction, woman’s fiction  
Release Date: May 7, 2019

Jillian Thatcher has spent most of her life playing the family peacemaker, caught in the middle between her driven, talented older sister and her younger, spotlight-stealing twin sisters. Then on the night of her engagement party, a cancer diagnosis threatens to once again steal her chance to shine. Now, Jillian’s on the road to recovery after finally finishing chemo and radiation, but residual effects of the treatment keep her from reclaiming her life as she’d hoped. And just when her dreams might be falling into place, a life-altering revelation from her husband sends her reeling again. Will Jillian ever achieve her own dreams, or will she always be “just Jillian,” the less-than Thatcher sister? Can she count on her sisters as she tries to step into a stronger place, or are they stuck in their childhood roles forever?

"Moments We Forget" by Beth Vogt is a book that really shows what life is like for sisters. It is the second book in the series and I think a reader would enjoy it without reading the first but I strongly recommend reading the first so you have all the info because I think  the story is better if you have read "Things I Never Told You" so you have all the info.

These books has the reader feeling all the emotions, sadness, joy and disbelief. Yes, I meant to type disbelief, because one set of parents refusing to take about family members who ran away and who had died. Ok , enough of that because I don't want to give a spoiled alert.

I really could feel each sister pain as they go through their struggles and I really like how the sisters learn to tolerate each other and to just be who they are.

This is another book that could categorize as "real life fiction". 

I like the fact that the characters search for God and some of them found out who He is and not everyone comes to be a Christian. Let me explain that last sentence, I want everyone to be saved but we all know that isn't going to happen so that makes this book more realistic, and even through a book is fiction, I want to think the story could happen. "Moments We Forget"does me think this story could happen or did happen just the way it was written.

I recommend this book to anyone that likes love stories with real life and drama.

I received a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

“A sister is like yourself in a different movie, a movie that stars you in a different life.”

I’m launching Moments We Forget, book two in the Thatcher Sisters series, and I’ve just turned in the final book in the series. I’d love to share book three’s title with you, but I don’t know what it is. (Of course, book three might have a final title by the time you read this—that’s part of the fun of prerelease deadlines.)
One thing I do know: the theme of “Little Women gone wrong” is woven through all of the books . . . thanks to the Thatcher sisters: Payton, Pepper, Jillian, and Johanna.
Sisters, be they real or imaginary, can be complicated.
Of course, there are sisters who have close relationships. They “get” each other and love doing life together.
But then there are the sister relationships that are like mismatched socks. Or those expensive jeans you loved in the store, but when you bring them home, they never quite live up to those moments in the dressing room.
Such are the Thatcher sisters. Johanna, Jillian, Payton, and Pepper grew up in the same family. They’re all tall. They love Broncos football and board games. But in so many ways their lives are like different movies because they each made different choices. Choices that changed and separated them. Moments We Forget continues to explore whether the Thatcher sisters can find a way to understand each other enough to bridge the distance between them.
