The Forget-Me-Not Library by Heather Webber

THE FORGET-ME-NOT LIBRARY by Heather Webber is a LibraryReads selection for November 2025 (“Perfect for readers who want a cozy, magical read to soothe away the troubles of the real world.”). Library Journal says THE FORGET-ME-NOT LIBRARY is for readers who enjoy “Stephanie Perkins, Fannie Flagg, and Karen Hawkins.” To that I would add authors like Katherine Center, Ruth Hogan, Susan Mallery, Karen White, and Susan Wiggs. This novel is a tender story of friendship, found family, small town-community, and second chances. The main characters are Juliet, a young nurse who has lost some memories due to an accident, and Tallulah, a recently divorced young mother of two sweet girls, Katie June and Mary Joy. Juliet’s car breaks down in the enchanted town of Forget-Me-Not, Alabama, where Tallulah works in the local library and lives with her eighty-year-old grandfather. Romance is on the horizon for both women, and they bond over caring for the girls and some of the town’s older residents with their wise sayings. Truly gentle and delightful.
