Books: You'll Never Forget Me & The Future Saints

Today, we are discussing You'll Never Forget Me by Isha Raya.  Dimple Kapoor has always been struggling to get her big acting break. Then, she accidentally ends up killing her rival, except that may not be the first time she's committed a murder or the last. However, she doesn't think of it that way. She thinks of it as taking advantage of opportunities. 

Saffi is the detective hot on her trail, and she is not so easy to fool as those other guys looking into the case. However, Saffi also has dark secrets in her past, and she may not be as different from Dimple as she thinks. Plus, she finds herself strangely attracted to Dimple.

This book is very dark.  Dimple starts out fairly unlikable and remains that way throughout the book. She shows no growth, and she learns nothing (at least nothing positive) over the entire course of the story. Saffi, on the other hand, is the opposite. She starts out more likable and becomes less likable.

If you have a strong sense of right and wrong, believe in karma, and prefer your books to be uplifting, you won't enjoy this book. However, if you love an antihero story and you don't care if a character gets redeemed in any way or learns anything over the course of a story, you might enjoy it.

Today, we recommend The Future Saints by Ashley Winstead. After the death of their manager, Ginny, The Future Saints' sound begins to evolve in a new, unexpected, and not necessarily welcome direction. Lead singer and Ginny's sister, Hannah, is really struggling with her grief and trying to hold on to her sister through her music. 

The head of their record label sends out Theo, known as the fixer, to work with the band. It is his job to help them record their last album and then release them from their contract. However, it won't be so easy when Theo really begins to care about the band and Hannah in particular.

This is a really moving story. It does an excellent job of representing both grief and the bonds of sisterhood that stretch even beyond death.  Although you are probably not going to want to read it when you are in the throes of grief yourself, after some time has passed, it may even help you through your own grief.

The relationships feel very relastic. The bandmates don't agree on everything, and don't always get along perfectly, but beneath it all, they are a family. They are protective of each other in a really moving way, and Theo becomes a part of that as well. It's hard to believe he is a fixer who usually has no problem cutting bands loose when necessary. It does not seem like he could be cold or calculating enough for that especially when in the book he is portrayed as such a sweet, kindhearted and caring character, which is much preferable anyway.  The Theo that exists in the story is a character that you can love. In fact, that is one of the great things about the book, there are so many characters that you can really love and only one truly unlikable character, the obnoxious head of the record company. 

Movies: The Good Fight

Today, we are discussing The Good Fight. Even after his second DUI, a retired boxer refuses to believe he has a drinking problem, but for those he loves and cares about, it's a breaking point, so he can either get his life together or lose everything.

If you are looking for a sports-oriented redemption story, you may be disappointed. This is not a film about a man being redeemed through sport; rather, it is a film about a man redeeming himself, and the sport is secondary at best.  Even the big fight at the end seems anticlimactic and comes after the story has mostly already been resolved.

And that's our view. You'll Never Forget Me was published last Tuesday, January 13, 2026. The Future Saints was published today, Tuesday, January 20, 2026. The Good Fight is available now digitally for purchase or rental.

Tune in tomorrow for Where-To-Go Wednesday.
