Book Review: The Forget Me Not Library
By Heather Webber

The Forget Me Not Library is a book you will never forget. It’s a beautiful, heartfelt story that reminds us we can find ourselves again—with a little hope, faith, friendship, and love.

After a tragic accident, Juliet sets out on a road trip to rediscover who she is. Her journey leads her to the charming town of Forget Me Not, where the people she meets change her life in ways she never imagined. Embraced by a close-knit community, Juliet finds healing in the most unexpected places—including the town’s magical and mystical heart: The Forget Me Not Library.

One of the most delightful characters is a Cat, who resides in the library and adds a touch of whimsy to the story. Like many of Heather Webber’s books, this one leaves you wanting more. It’s moving, hopeful, and so very special.

If you’re looking for a story that blends emotion, magic, and the power of human connection, this one is a must-read.

Thank you Net Galley for the ARC!

Heather Webber does it again with The Forget-Me-Not Library—a heart-tugging, quietly magical story about second chances, healing, and the surprising ways we find exactly what we need, right when we need it most.

Set in the small, seemingly sleepy town of Forget-Me-Not, this novel centers around three unforgettable women. As the women’s stories slowly entwine, the novel unpacks grief, forgiveness, and the invisible threads that connect us. The magical realism is subtle but powerful—books appear when needed, forgotten memories resurface, and the library itself feels alive with possibility.

Webber’s writing is lyrical and warm, filled with charm, emotional depth, and hope. Fans of Midnight at the Blackbird Café will absolutely love this one. I didn’t want to leave Forget-Me-Not—or the women who call it home.

A gentle reminder that sometimes, the story we need most is the one we didn’t expect to find.

I don't know how Heather Webber manages to write such wonderfully, likeable characters every single time but, well done! As much as I don't like car trouble, I would not mind breaking down in this sweet, little town. Once again, this will be an easy recommend for anyone needing to escape for a little while, it pairs nicely with a pot of tea and a plate of cookies.

A southern town with charm and magical capabilities, characters with aching hearts and lost paths, a cat who chooses books specific to individuals and their memories - this novel is a gift for a reader’s soul, especially a library-lover. “The Forget-Me-Not Library” will be unforgettable in its messages, its simplicity, the warm-hearted people who grace the pages, and the comfort it leaves with you. What more could anyone want? (And, yes, there’s romance of all sorts, too!)

This is such a sweet and comforting book. It is set in a small town full of loving neighbors who take care of one and other. One of the main characters works in the town's library. The library has a cat in residence that seems to know which book to put in front of someone to bring back a forgotten memory. I am a big fan of books set in small towns with magical realism and this book is just perfect.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for a copy of this book for review.

This was so richly written that it felt like you could crawl inside and live in Forget-Me-Not. The characters were relatable and felt real - you felt deeply for each one and wanted them to live the life they were searching for. The elements of magical realism were deployed in a way that added depth and intrigue without becoming a distraction or taking you out of the storyline. Webber has such a gift for weaving a story that makes you feel like you're a part of it or watching from just nearby. Looking forward to reading more of her back catalog!
