I really enjoyed this book. It was such a comforting read, with found family, a small town that was everything you'd want in a small town, and romance. I loved the characters, the library, and Deckle the cat. It was heartwarming and magical, and I had a great time reading it.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Having lost her way and her memories after a lightening strike that left her grandfather dead, Juliet hits the road. When she comes to a detour and winds up in Forget-Me-Not, strange things begin to happen and her memory starts to return. Good storyline with very likeable characters. When a story elicits an emotional response, you know it's a good one.

This was a sweet romance about finding your place & facing your fears. I especially enjoyed the little magic thrown in that explains how people arrive to the town of Forget-Me-Not. Perfect for all romance lovers who like them clean (no spice). I will definitely be looking for more books by this author!

I have yet to be disappointed by a Heather Webber book and this one was no exception. I love how she subtly gets her characters to worm their way into your heart. You don’t even realize how much you love the characters until all of a sudden you’re wiping tears away. I also think one of my favorite parts of her books are the quirky older characters. They just make her books so much more fun! The Forget-Me-Not Library really hit a soft spot for me. I’ve really been missing my grandparents lately and this book just wrapped my heart up in a warm hug!

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Heather and NetGalley for the chance to read this early. It was an honor to receive this and the perfect book to start my summer.

This story is loving and heartfelt. Nothing like small town stories to make your soul feel happy. I love that this focuses on the Forget Me Not Library and the lives of its patrons and employees.

This story teaches us about love, laughter, healing and how the small things can truly mean so much.

I fell in love with the cover first & then the story. Heather Webber writes magical books that heal you when you didn’t even know you needed to be healed. The Forget-Me-Not Library is no exception. Remember, home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling, it’s love.

Whimsical, a touch magical, sweet, charming, romantic but not spicy, has gentle lgbtq+ representation, this book works in so many ways. If you are looking for found family, love appears when you are not looking mixed with easygoing friendly people in a small town, then this is the book!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this novel.

The Forget-Me-Not Library is an absolute delight. Filled with interesting, quirky characters, a bit of squeaky clean romance and a dash of magical realism this book is a heartwarming gem.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a sweet, whimsical read set in a small, slightly magical southern town inhabited by people you will definitely fall in love with instantly. Little Katy is such a doll! You’ll be rooting for Tallulah and Juliet to each find their HEA.

I look forward to reading more by this author.

Heather Webber’s books are always so cozy, heartwarming, and heart lifting. The Forget Me Not Library is no exception.

May was a particularly hard month for me. Being so, I couldn’t concentrate on reading, and a lot of my usual genres were difficult to take in. So I started The Forget Me Not Library. Immediately I was transported into Forget Me Not and the lives of all the wonderful characters in this book. The writing, storyline and charming characters make you feel like you’re wrapping yourself up in a big warm hug. Reading this book was actually therapeutic!

If you love cozy, contemporary books, with a touch of magical realism, this book is for you. Highly recommend if you need a light read to ease your mind of current troubles.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for sending me an advanced copy of this book.

This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Webber creates a beautifully magical setting for characters to deal with some of the hardest aspects of life while providing a sense of hope, purpose, and future.

Two women have a chance encounter at a library. Both are broken and need of emotional healing. Between the pages of books and. Abudding friendship, the women quickly form a caring friendship. Cleverly written, character driven and an enjoyable read.

Heather Webber is one of my favorite authors. Her new book, The Forget-Me-Not Library, takes us to a small town in Alabama where the inhabitants know some powerful secrets. Good secrets– ones that might help people live happier lives. Juliet, one of the main characters, didn’t intend to stay in Forget-Me-Not. Her recently serviced car just stopped running with no apparent explanation. Then a resident took her in, exhibiting a trust that is hard for me to imagine.

If you like Karen Hawkins’ Dove Pond series, you may enjoy Heather Webber’s magical realism. The characters seem like good people and the crotchety ones often have reasons to be that way. Death and pain figure into the story, as well as love and generosity.

Webber’s stories always draw me in and make it hard to put the book down!

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance reader’s copy. This is my honest review.

A book I won’t forget too easily. Heather has created the perfect town and the best towns people to find in your book travels. A story of finding oneself and the strangers who will become family. I didn’t want it to end. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

The Forget-Me-Not Library is like a hug in book form. I loved getting lost in the small town of Forget-Me-Not, Alabama, and spending time with its cast of characters. Magical realism and a sassy library cat? Sign me up. Fans of Sarah Addison Allen will enjoy this novel.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book! I adored this story. The idea of a town knowing when you are lost and needing to be found. The found family ideals always pull on my heart strings.

The town of Forget-Me-Not knows when someone is in need of something and has stranded many travelers until they have found what they need to heal. Juliet finds herself in this exact situation as she is taking a trip hoping to have her memories return after a tragic accident and her car breaks down. She is quickly embraced by the neighbors and finds herself beginning to feel hopeful for her future.

Tallulah has returned to the only place she has felt secure after her divorce, leaning on her family to help with her two young daughters. She knows that Juliet needs time but initially is left on edge by the strangers appearance. They initially bond over Pride and Prejudice, debating whether the BBC mini series with Colin Firth is superior (it is) to the Kiera Knightly film, and then slowly begin to find comfort and trust in their friendship.

The Forget-Me-Not-Library is full of the Heather Webber magic we have all come to love and expect. She is able to fill us with hope while we watch these characters heal from trauma and move on in ways that perhaps they were not expecting. I always feel like I've received a huge hug at the end. Long time readers will not be disappointed and new readers will be captivated.

I don't normally read books like this one, but I requested it anyway. I am so glad I did. It was super cozy and "safe" feeling. I read it each night after bed. I loved the main characters and the charm of Forget-Me-Not! Check this one out for yourself!
