Perfect for fans of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Five Feet Apart, this tender solo debut by the coauthor of New York Times bestseller She Gets the Girl is a “punch to the gut in the best way” (Booklist, starred review) about the strength of love and the power of choosing each other, against odds and obstacles, again and again.
What would you do if you forgot the love of your life ever even existed?
Stevie and Nora had a love. A secret, epic, once-in-a-lifetime kind of love. They also had a plan: to leave their small, ultra-conservative town and families behind after graduation and move to California, where they could finally stop hiding that love.
But then Stevie has a terrible fall. And when she comes to, she can remember nothing of the last two years—not California, not coming to terms with her sexuality, not even Nora. Suddenly, Stevie finds herself in a life she doesn’t quite understand, one where she’s estranged from her parents, drifting away from her friends, lying about the hours she works, and headed towards a future that isn’t at all what her fifteen-year-old self would have envisioned.
And Nora finds herself…forgotten. Can the two beat the odds a second time and find their way back together when “together” itself is just a lost memory?

Critic reviews
"Natalie Naudus captures Stevie’s playfulness and passion toward her secret girlfriend, Nora. The pair are excited about their plan to leave their homophobic Pennsylvania community to find acceptance in California. But an accident robs Stevie of two years of memory, including her feelings for Stevie and her sexuality. Naudus embraces Stevie’s confusion and desperate need to fill in the voids. She depicts Nora’s constancy before the accident and afterward reads Nora’s unsent letters to Stevie with sorrow. The distant tone she gives to Stevie’s conservative mother reflects the mystery that Stevie can’t understand. At the end, Naudus’s tender narration works well as Stevie rekindles her relationship with Nora, recalls her sexual orientation, and reconciles with her parents." (AudioFile Magazine)

*spoiler*
It ends happy, very happy. And the hard journey to get there is really worth it.
I love this book and will certainly keep coming back to it over and over. (I've also ordered the physical copy of it even though I can't read physical books, just to have it as a talisman. Also gorgeous cover)
Can't forget this one

“Forget Me Not” is a sapphic YA romance about two 18 year old young women (Nora and Stevie) who make a pact to run away from their small ultra-conservative town. Right before they do though, Stevie has an accident and a traumatic brain injury wipes away the last two years of her memories. The two year timeframe is very consequential since it’s the period when Stevie first started to recognize the problems within the town, came to terms with her sexuality, met and fell in love with Nora, and then decided to run away with her. All of those memories are now gone.
It’s an important story that explores the sense of isolation and fear that queer kids experience living in small conservative towns. Nora and Stevie’s journey is so full of emotion and the narrator Natalie Naudus perfectly captures the wide range of feelings. “Forget Me Not” will leave you with joy and hope, but just be prepared to sob along the way.
I loved it.
