About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The lead in this story is very depressed because of a life experience. He's a teen. He has a good support system. This story does a good job of helping someone who hasn't gone through something similar to be empathetic. It's a sweet story overall.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Ugh. Even without the cover blurb, this is very obviously fanfiction. I've read phenomenal fanfiction. I've read truly pathetic fanfiction. This falls into the mediocre world of unexceptional fanfiction. The main character Levi is the single most melodramatic and whiny character I've ever read. If he doesn't cry at least once per chapter, it's a fairly remarkable chapter. He is the embodiment of the ideal emo, quiet (he's mute) sensitive boy teen girls *think* is so sexy...until they actually encounter it. Personally, I'd like to bitch slap him a few times and tell him to get the fuck over it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I can't believe the author, Ashley Royer, is still in high school. I really enjoyed reading this book. It is emotional, dark, funny,and realistic. At first, I thought I would not enjoy a dark emotional depressing book but seeing there are over 13 million reads, I gave it a try; I am glad I did.
All the characters and the plot are well developed. Not only does Levi need to cope with his own depression and anxiety issues, now he also needs to adjust to a new environment and a father who left him several years ago. As Levi becomes more and more comfortable and open with Delilah, the readers would also learn how he becomes this way. It is like a puzzle being unsolved.
I like how the story is told in both Levi's and Delilah's points of view. So the readers get to know what Levi is thinking and the others' actual thoughts and reactions to Levi's abnormal behaviors.

Received a free ARC from BookSparks in exchange for an honest review. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I tried to like this book because most of the other readers who read this book could not stop raving about it. Yet, I found Levi to be very off-putting. I felt more resentment towards everyone and everything then I did depression. Which I guess in a way resentment is a form of depression. Aside from all of this again the way that Levi treated his father and his new friends in the beginning was not called for. All I could focus on is Levi acting like a spoiled brat that I could not focus on the rest of the story. I could not figure out why Levi's new friends including Delilah let him get away with his attitude other then to say that they must have felt sorry for him. There came a point where I could not deal with Levi anymore and skipped all the way to the last four chapters just to see if Levi did change. Luckily from what I did read in these last few chapters, Levi did change and was tolerable.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Seventeen-year-old Levi Harrison, devastated by the accidental death of his girlfriend Delia, suffers from depression, mood swings, and anxiety. Despite therapy, his mother sees little progress in her son’s condition and, in a last-ditch effort to help the teen, she sends him to Maine to live with the father he has not seen in three years. Although Levi is unhappy about leaving Australia and his best friend, Caleb, he passively acquiesces to the move. Levi’s obnoxious behavior is purportedly the result of his pain and self-doubt but neither his inner anguish nor his self-absorption can excuse his incessant rudeness. Levi’s friends Caleb, Aiden, and Delilah show an uncommon understanding of his abhorrent conduct; their unflagging willingness to excuse it lacks believability. Nevertheless, readers are likely to find Levi’s continual contemptuousness both annoying and off-putting; astute readers will easily determine the outcome of this predictable tale.
