Fifteen-year-old Stevie and Nora's plan to abandon their conservative small town for California so they can be together is shattered when a terrible fall steals every trace of Stevie's relationship with Nora from her memory.
Censorship history
In 2025, "Forget Me Not" by Alyson Derrick was banned at the school level across several districts in the United States due to its LGBTQ+ and sexual content. This decision was influenced by formal complaints from local parents and advocacy groups, leading to school board votes that upheld the bans in multiple conservative areas. The book's removal sparked protests from LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations, but as of now, the bans remain in effect, with no significant legal challenges reported to reverse the decisions.
