Goodreads Summary
In Remember to Forget from Watty Award-winning author
Ashley Royer, Levi has refused to speak since the tragic death of his
girlfriend, Delia, and can't seem to come out of his depression and hindering
self-doubt. Desperate to make some positive change in Levi’s life, his mother
sends him to live with his father in Maine. Though the idea of moving from
Australia to America seems completely daunting, Levi passively accepts his
fate, but once he lands faces personal struggles and self-doubt at the same
time he and his dad battle through resentment and misunderstanding. And then,
while at therapy, Levi meets Delilah, a girl who eerily reminds him of someone
he lost.
My
Thoughts
When I received this book, I already had several that I had to read
in front of this one so I just added it to my ‘to-read’ lest in my planner and
put it on my bookshelf. A few days later
my daughter came in stating that she was bored so I told her to read a book. She said she didn’t have any new books to
read so I sent her to my bookshelf. She
asked if she could read Remember to
Forget, I said yes, and she went off to her room. Several hours later I realized that I hadn’t
heard a peep from her in quite a while so I went to check on her. She was in her room, lying across her bed,
eyes glued to the book. She finished it
in one night! A girl after my own heart!
When it was time for me to read the book, my daughter went on
and on about how much I was going to love it.
She couldn’t wait for me to finish it and tell her what I thought. Well…. drum roll please…. it was pretty good J
I don’t think I was quite
as crazy about it as she was, but I did enjoy it. I have found that I’m at about 50/50 when it
comes to YA books. I do like most of
them but I’m not absolutely crazy about more than 50% of them most of the time.
I did enjoy the storyline,
although I really didn’t like Levi very much in the beginning. I understand that something very traumatic
happened in his life but he was just way too rude and bratty! If I say too much more I’ll give you
spoilers! Bottom line is, Remember to Forget is a book worth
reading. And, now that I’m finished
reading it, my daughter let me know that she would like for it to be hers!
