This is a nicely written book that does a reverse of the more common retrograde amnesia stories (every day I forget the past) we see. (e.g. Gene Wolfe's Soldier Series). Tommy is forgotten every year by the people around him. Great idea. Alas I found it slow. ( ) How To Be Remembered is a touching and captivating story about perseverance, finding your place in the world, falling in love, and learning how to let go. Every year, on the fifth of January, all material evidence of Tommy Llewellyn's existence disappears from the world, and every remembrance of him is entirely wiped out. “’Night, buddy. See you when you’re a one-year-old,’ he whispered, so quietly he could barely hear it himself.” That’s the last thing Leo Palmer told his son because the following morning, all remnants of Tommy's life vanished, including his toys, birthday cake, and even his image from the family photos, leaving no trace of his existence. Every year, on the fifth of January, Tommy Llewellyn would wake up with the same thought: “Why don’t they remember me?” only to realize, time and time again, that no one could give him an answer. “Tommy Llewellyn was completely, irrevocably, eternally in love with Carey Price. Four weeks later she would forget him, as would everybody else, but he would go on loving her.” Even though Tommy doesn't fully understand the nature of his condition or why he was chosen to be forgotten, he remains certain that he will find a way to reclaim his life and prevent the things that matter to him from slipping away. He’ll find a way to outsmart the Reset. I enjoyed reading this unique and captivating debut novel and eagerly anticipate Michael Thompson's next work!

On an ordinary night in an ordinary year, Tommy Llewellyn's doting parents wake in a home without toys and nappies, without photos of their baby scattered about, and without any idea that the small child asleep in his crib is theirs. That's because Tommy is a boy destined to never be remembered. On the same day every year, everyone around him forgets he exists, and he grows up enduring his own universal Reset. That is until something extraordinary happens: Tommy Llewellyn falls in love. Determined to finally carve out a life for himself and land the girl of his dreams, Tommy sets out on a mission to finally trick the Reset and be remembered. But legacies aren't so easily won, and Tommy must figure out what's more important - the things we leave behind or the people we bring along with us.
