Description:  Juliet Nightingale is lucky to be alive. Months after a freak accident involving lightning, she’s fully recovered but is left feeling that something is missing from her life. Something big. Impulsively, she decides to take a solo summer road trip, hoping that the journey will lead her down a path that will help her discover exactly what it is that she’s searching for.

Newly single mom Tallulah Byrd Mayfield is hanging by a thread after her neat, tidy world was completely undone when her husband decided that their marriage was over. In the aftermath of the breakup, she and her two daughters move in with her eighty-year-old grandfather. Tallulah starts a new job at the Forget-Me-Not Library, where old, treasured memories can be found within the books—and where Lu must learn to adapt to the many changes thrown her way.

When a road detour leads Juliet to Forget-Me-Not, Alabama, and straight into Tallulah’s life, the two women soon discover there’s magic in between the pages of where you’ve been and where you still need to go. And that happiness, even when lost, can always be found again.

Genre: Fiction

Why I Picked This Book:  I've enjoyed other books by this author so of course I had to pick this one up!

My Impression: I loved this book and it has fully cemented Heather Webber as a favorite author (not that there was much doubt there).  The book starts with Juliet's car breaking down right in front of Tenn's house just as he is looking for his granddaughter. And from there Forget-Me-Not's magic pulled me in and wrapped me up with all the warm cozy feels.

The two main characters are Tallulah and Juliet, both very different women with very different pasts who are both looking for more than they realize.  I really enjoyed getting to know both of them and watching them come into their own.  The town of Forget-Me-Not is wonderful filled with quirky opinionated characters.  Normally, when a book has multiple narrators I tend to gravitate to one more than the other but that wasn't the case here.  I enjoyed both Juliet and Tallulah's perspectives and their voices.  I loved Katy and Tenn and Callum and Jake and all the other characters that populate their world.  My very favorite was Deckle the library cat who is so much more than a library cat and I enjoyed Tallulah's resistance to the whole thing.

I read this book in essentially one sitting thought that sitting ended in the wee hours of the morning and I loved every page of it.  

Would I Read More of this Series/Author?  Absolutely!  I've loved every book by this author that I've read and am looking forward to reading more from her.

Would I Recommend this Book?  If you enjoy cozy heartfelt fiction with a bit of magical realism this book and this author are must reads.
