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.
I received a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
This book is about a boy, so overwhelmed by grief, that he no longer talks.
At first I thought he was just being a spoiled child. How could he have been so in love with another person at such a young age. But the more I got to reading, the more I saw how much his life had been impacted. This story isn't so much about his loss, but about the road he took through his grief.
I feel like I'm still on that road so many of the things he was thinking really rang true for me as well. I think that's why I loved the book so much.
