Bookroo's summary

Tommy Llewellyn is forgotten by everyone on the same day each year, living a life of constant resets. When he falls in love, he embarks on a quest to defy this curse and be remembered. As he struggles to outsmart his fate, Tommy must decide if leaving a legacy or cherishing those he loves is more important. Can he break the cycle and hold onto the life he dreams of, or will he remain a fleeting memory? Discover a heartwarming journey of love, identity, and the marks we leave on the world.

From the publisher

You’ll be grinning through your tears as you read this “big-hearted” (The Guardian) and magical tale, perfect for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and The Midnight Library.A man who can never be remembered.A journey he’ll never forget. On an ordinary night in an ordinary year, Tommy Llewellyn’s doting parents wake in a home without toys and diapers, 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.With the speculative edge of How to Stop Time, the unending charm of Maria Semple, and the heart of your favorite book club read, How to Be Remembered is a life-affirming novel about discovering how to leave your mark on the places and people you love most.
