The Memory Book

If you like what could have been movies you will LOVE this. Yes I recommend it. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/8/2021

This is one of the most delightful movies I have ever seen. Meghan Ory is gorgeous and very enjoyable to watch on screen. The story is not particularly original, but you wind up really pulling for the main characters even though you know how it is going to end! I just happened to catch this movie as I was channel surfing a couple of weeks ago and was so taken with it that I have been attempting to catch it again to enjoy the experience all over again. I just about missed it totally last night, but caught the ending. I look forward to being alerted to its next showing so I can record it so I can watch it and bleep through the commercials. I cannot find that a DVD is available yet, but will definitely obtain one as soon as it is available.

"The memory book " was one of those rare movie that inspired you to look for the deeper meaning of life and the mystery that floated around the puzzle piece called 'Love'

All the characters played their roles with just the right amount of emotion and passion.It was only towards the end that i remembered the fact that this movie was a Hallmark TV movie. The plot, the characters and the general feel of the movie was that original.

I think i learned a thing or too from this movie at the end..The one line that really struck me was something i heard towards the end.

"You cant live other people's life for them...you've got to define what you want."

This movie taught me just because Love didn't work out for everybody else around you , doesn't mean its going to end up the same way for me... i get to define what i want and 'perfect' was never it.

So maybe..just maybe there's some hope ill be living happily in love someday.

This is such a gem! A truly beautiful story and two great leads. I also like the theme of being scared of love while secretly desiring it, it's very relatable for a lot of people and highlights the delicacy of love, a surprisingly refreshing take on romance for a Hallmark movie.

A memory book has peeked the interest of Chloe, a photographer who believes a long lasting romantic relationship just isn't in her genes. Curious to know if the deep love she dreams about actually exists, she sets out on a search to find the original owner of the book. An annoyingly and sometimes conveniently spontaneous man who she meets after he criticises her artwork becomes her partner in crime.

Photographer Chloe Davenport (Meghan Ory) is exhibiting her photos in a gallery but her confidence takes a hit from bartender Gabe Sinclair (Luke Macfarlane). She is taken with an old photo album at a swap meet and buys it for $10. She grows interested in the couple in the photos and decides to track them down with Gabe's help.

It's a Hallmark mystery romance and it's better than most of Hallmark's offerings. I actually like the chemistry of the two leads as they banter back and forth. It could have done more. I do have an issue with Chloe's obsession even after Sarah's plea for her to stop. It puts a damper on the treasure hunt aspect when it's a journey against Sarah's wishes. There has to be a way to put up a speed bump without derailing the whole train. It may work better if Tori's Garden is the one who tells them to stop. There comes a point when being pushy is no longer cute and becomes destructive. Nevertheless, it's great to see Adrienne Barbeau again and she still has it.
