This was just what I wanted right now—a gentle story of friendship and love with low stakes problems. I could tell from the first few pages where the plot was headed, but I was perfectly okay with that. It was just a lovely walk in a familiar garden.
I loved the magic of the town of Forget-Me-Not, that crippled the cars of those who need emotional help of some variety and ensured the car repairs wouldn't be completed until they are ready. If they're not meant to go, the car will break down again as they're leaving town.
Juliet is recovering from being hit by lightning while walking with her beloved grandfather. She survived with some amnesia, but her grandfather did not. She is searching for peace and wants to regain her memory. Tallulah has returned to live with her Papaw in Forget-Me-Not following her divorce. She is juggling two children and a job and is dismayed when Juliet’s car breaks down in front of their big old house and the rest of the family welcomes her right in. They gradually learn to trust each other and they both build relationships in the community.
If you like the idea of good friendships in a small Southern town, this is the book for you.
