In Ashley Royer's Remember to Forget, the main character, Levi, is a 17 year old who has just lost the love of his life. Because of this tragic event, he emotionally shuts down and starts to disassociate himself from society by not talking at all. His mom forces him to move from Australia to Maine where he meets new friends, new surroundings, and most of all, a new girl; Delilah. In Levi's eyes, Delilah is merely a reflection of his dead girlfriend Delia. The novel goes through Levi's journey to overcome emotional instability. Though the plot is interesting, the book is very cliche and predictable. The writing is also not the best, because the author wrote very short sentences and often used very generic wording. It's a nice chick flick and fanfic but it is a wattpad book, and in my opinion, it would be better if people just read the story online instead of having the library buy a copy.
About This Book

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.

Remember to Forget by Ashley Roye , is a cheesy chick flick that is both laughable and romantic.
The story takes place in modern time, it starts off in Australia but shortly after the reader is introduced to the character, they plots shifts and the character moves to Maine in America. This book is an easy read that is both entertaining and fun. The main character of the book is a 17 year old boy who lost his girlfriend due to a car crash, and is very emotionally vulnerable.About a week after the car crash Levi stopped speaking to anyone. As a result, LEvi sees many psychologists and even stays in a mental hospital,but nothing helps until he meets a girl, Delilah who happens to be the splitting image of Delia his dead girlfriend . The book showcases, how the main character Levi, deals with his grief and makes new friends along the way. The transition between Australia to America is hard, and the Author does a great job showing that through Levi’s friends. However, this book does not do a great job in catching your attention. The book falls into somewhat of a pattern between Levi and the main characters. This book is predictable but the reader will still want to read to see what happens. In Spite of it being so repetitive this book is full of cute fun. It is a fun read for pass time and if you like chick flicks then this book is for you.
