Samantha is a stranger in her own life. Until the night she disappeared with her best friend, Cassie, everyone said Sam had it all-popularity, wealth, and a dream boyfriend. Sam has resurfaced, but she has no recollection of who she was or what happened to her that night. As she tries to piece together her life from before, she realizes it's one she no longer wants any part of. The old Sam took "mean girl" to a whole new level, and it's clear she and Cassie were more like best enemies. Sam is pretty sure that losing her memories is like winning the lottery. She's getting a second chance at being a better daughter, sister, and friend, and she's falling hard for Carson Ortiz, a boy who has always looked out for her-even if the old Sam treated him like trash. But Cassie is still missing, and the facts about what happened to her that night aren't just buried deep inside of Sam's memory-someone else knows, someone who wants to make sure Sam stays quiet. All Sam wants is the truth, and if she can unlock her clouded memories of that fateful night, she can finally move on. But what if not remembering is the only thing keeping Sam alive?

Don't Look Back, by Jennifer L. Armentrout From School Library Journal Gr 7–10—From the very first page, readers are thrust into the mind of confused amnesiac Samantha, who finds herself at the center of the mysterious disappearance of her best friend, Cassie. The protagonist was the last person known to see Cassie alive; the problem is that the teen remembers nothing of their last night together and, for that matter, nothing of her life at all. With the help of her brother and the compelling and handsome Carson Ortiz, Samantha figures out that the old Sam, the one she can't remember, might be one that's worth forgetting. Popular, powerful, and mean, she and her best frenemy Cassie had ruled the school and put down anyone in their path. In the search for someone who would have wanted to cause the two of them harm, she realizes that the list could be a long one. Someone clearly knows things no one else could about that night and leaves threatening notes telling the narrator to stop searching for the truth. Readers are led to wonder if Samantha's gnawing suspicion that she might be the culprit herself is right or perhaps if her developing romance with Carson is really a romance with Cassie's killer. The action-filled plot and the shocking revelation of the murderer's true identity will leave fans of suspense and mystery thoroughly satisfied.—Joanna Sondheim, Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, New York City
From Booklist Amnesia complicates an otherwise standard murder mystery in Armentrout’s psychological thriller about a missing girl’s return and her efforts to recover her lost memories. Samantha’s memory loss is so total that not only can’t she remember what happened the night she and best friend Cassie vanished, or how she turned up alone in the state forest, but she can’t recognize anything from her former life. Her wealthy family, hot boyfriend, and popular friends are strangers, none of whom she is sure she can trust, especially after she learns what the old Samantha was like: a quintessential mean girl who used her money and influence to bully others. Redemption isn’t easy, and once Cassie’s body is found, Samantha is left wondering if her old self was capable of murder. Sinister flashes of memory and other threatening notes help set an ominous tone, though the finale is a bit anticlimactic. Some new, supportive friendships and a steamy romance with Carson, the groundskeeper’s son, also provide a balance to the suspense. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: The best-selling author of several series with big fan bases, Armentrout’s latest should benefit from author events, advertising, and, most likely, plenty of fan-to-fan buzz. Grades 7-10. --Krista Hutley
Review "This engrossing thriller packs a heady atmospheric punch with plenty of theatrical scares." ---Kirkus

By Stephanie Ward 'Don't Look Back' is a taut and completely gripping young adult thriller that had me hooked from the very beginning. I am a huge fan of this genre and I really can never find enough books that leave an impression on me. This one did just that - and then some. Everything about this novel - from the plot and characters to the writing style and the setting - was perfect. The characters were well written and easy to identify with - especially our main character Samantha. She was a fantastic leading lady - smart, determined, and brave - yet she still had her flaws, which I believe made her all the more realistic. The other characters in the book were well rounded too, which made slipping into the story alongside Sam even easier.The plot was full of unexpected twists and turns - ones that you definitely don't see coming and then are left with your mouth hanging open in surprise. With this genre, I love trying to piece together the mystery and figure things out before the main character does, but I have to admit that I failed to do that when it came to this book. That alone is enough to impress me and shows the amount of talent the author has. Add to that the depth of the story line - there's so much more going on than you think - and you have one of the best YA thrillers I've read in a very long time. The descriptions were incredibly detailed with vivid imagery and a fast pace - all of which came together to create a truly compelling novel. I honestly can't say enough good things about this book to do it justice, so I'll simply end by saying that this was one wicked thrill ride that will leave you devouring the pages to find out what happens. I very highly recommend this for fans of mystery, thrillers, and suspense fiction!!Disclosure: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Great romantic suspense debut from JLA By Misha I am a huge Jennifer Armentrout fan, and ever since I heard she was writing a suspense book I was dying to get my hands on it. Not surprisingly, I absolutely loved Don't Look Back. It was different from JLA's other books but in a great way. I thoroughly enjoyed how the suspense built up through the book, and that the sweet romance between Samantha and Carson took a back burner to the mystery. From the first page to the last I was hooked and couldn't wait to find out what had happened to Samantha.I can't imagine being missing for four days and having no memory of what happened or where your best friend was. To make matters even worse, Samantha also found out that was she an awful person in her past life. My heart went out to her, completely lost in her own life and then discovering that she did not like the person she was or the choices she had made. She didn't know who to trust or what to believe. I was impressed with her tenacity for finding out the truth and the decisions she made regarding the life she truly wanted to live.I loved Carson. He was so kind and patient with Sam even though she had been very unkind to him in the past. I just loved them together and how supportive and reassuring he was when Sam felt like she was going crazy. Their romance was such a sweet, slow-burning one, and I liked that it was actually secondary to Sam finding the answers she needed. Sam's brother Scott and his girlfriend Julie were also great characters. They were such a contrast to Sam's boyfriend and nasty group of friends, all of whom I wanted to smack.The pacing of this book was perfect, and as I got closer to the end I was furiously flipping the pages and trying to figure out the truth. I managed to figure it out right before the big reveal, but it was a wild ride getting there. My head was spinning and then all of the sudden it clicked and everything fit together perfectly in my head. I loved how it all came together and I was able to look back and see all the clues that were dropped along the way. JLA definitely nailed her debut in the suspense genre, and I would love to see more books like this one from her in the future
6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. okay. By Maggie Don’t Look Back by Jennifer Armentrout is a quick don’t put me down kind of read! I enjoyed this book and breezed through it. A whodunnit suspenseful story with EVERYONE being a suspect. Samantha, called Sammy or Sam or Insanity Sam, is found wondering around with complete amnesia. Her best friend, Cassie is also missing. Samantha starts learning about herself, and she doesn’t really love what she is discovering. She has a wonderful boyfriend who she doesn’t feel a connection with, an old friend who she does feel one with, and unsettling memories or possible hallucinations leaking through. Sam is working hard to find out what happened to her, and she grapples with the question of whether she wants to become the girl she was before or stay true to her current inner feelings and maybe have a nicer future.The nature vs. nurture element in Don’t Look Back is my favorite element of this story. If you had complete amnesia and were able to start over tabla rasa, what changes would you make? Would you again bow to pressure to conform, or would you allow your inner self to flourish. In this story, Sam is a good girl who acted mean because of outside pressures. After a trauma, everyone goes through a period of soul searching. Sam is able to do this without any obligations, anger and pressures from the past bubbling up due to her amnesia. Except for a possible killer who doesn’t want her to remember anything, she is desperately trying to figure out why she acted the way she did. This recreation of her own past is an interesting journey.Don’t Look Back is a fun read. The characters, places and events are all pretty real feeling. It is a little over the top with the stratification of the classes, rich vs. poor. But this is absolutely not something I have encountered in my middle class suburbia so it may be absolutely true. It is nice reading about the 1%, anyway. It is also nice to think that we are basically good inside, and outside pressure is what brings out the worst in us, even murder. As Sam felt nothing for the missing girl Cassie, I too felt nothing towards her except sadness for her family. Sam’s boyfriend Del, or Del the Dick, is also a conundrum. He seemed to be working so hard to make their relationship work, and it just never made sense. Feeling an instinctual passion for someone, like Sam does for Carson, is a gift and I am glad she appreciated him and his hotness. The good people are angelic in this story (poor), and the bad ones are evil (rich). There is not much variety, but for a one-off story it is cleaner. The “wow!” moment was good, and only slightly foreshadowed. Overall, give it a go! Reading prom stories makes me nostalgic and a little dreamy, hopefully you feel the same. I would also call this a girls book. Sorry guys!
