Publisher's Summary

Everybody wants to leave a legacy—through their children, their work or the difference they make in others' lives. But what if you were prevented? What if no one even remembered you? How far would you go to make your mark on the world?

Some lives are simply unforgettable… 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.

How to be Remembered is a heartwarming, poignant and ultimately inspiring novel about the important things in life.

I’m telling everyone I know to read this book

Wow it’s such a unique story concept, beautifully told. Every character is so vivid, their world feels so familiar. I felt so invested in Tommy and wanted the best for him; the injustices he faced stung me, the reader. But also I genuinely cared for the secondary characters.
Bravo to the author and the narrator.

Surprisingly good

Reminded me of the secret life of Addie Leru. I don’t usually like supernatural stories but this one was excellent.

Sad story (good luck with the first couple of chapters) but full of hope and empathy for Tommy! Catchy and well paced. Recommend the reading!!

Book of the Year 2023

I'm going to call it early! How to be Remembered is the 2023 Book of the Year! I absolutely loved this novel from beginning to end. I resonate with Tommy as I always say I have the most unmemorable face in the world. I meet people, introduce myself and the next time I see them, even days later they say they don't remember me. This is a definite must read! I can't wait to see the movie.

A bloody great Book..

There is no bad language, unnecessary sex, gore or over the top plot to follow.

It's just a cleverly written, lovely too listen to story.

I loved the naration with the calmly spoken Lewis Fitz-Gerald.

Great read all round..
