Synopsis

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 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 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.

Goodreads review by John

An interesting take in the Addie LaRue and Matthew Haig tradition. Tommy goes to sleep every year on his birthday and wakes up to a world where no one remembers him, yet he remembers. The Universe wipes his existence, except for what he has touching him. Sometimes a gripping and clever story, someti......more

Goodreads review by Mallory

This is a very unique and intriguing story. It is the type of story that I know will stick with me. I am fascinated about the mechanics of the universe in this one and while it was a bit frustrating I am ok that it is also not explained the how or event eh try why (where do Tommy’s belongings go??).......more
