Say You'll Remember Me

The instant #1 New York Times bestseller!

"No one does funny, emotional, life-affirming love stories quite like Abby Jimenez. She just keeps outdoing herself." ―Emily Henry

There's no such thing as a perfect guy, but Xavier Rush comes disastrously close. A gorgeous veterinarian giving Greek god vibes--all while cuddling a tiny kitten? Immediate yes. That is until Xavier opens his mouth and proves that even sculpted gods can say the absolute wrong thing. Like, really wrong. Of course, there's nothing Samantha loves more than proving an asshole wrong ... unless, of course, he can admit he made a mistake.

But after one incredible and seemingly endless date, Samantha is forced to admit the truth, that her family is in crisis and any kind of relationship would be impossible. Samantha begs Xavier to forget her. To remember their night together as a perfect moment, as crushing as that may be. Only no amount of distance or time is enough to forget what's between them. And the only thing better than one single perfect memory is to make a life--and even a love--worth remembering.

The last 20% of this book was beautiful. Abby Jimenez writes the best romance book, hands down. I know she always adds a lil modern zest to all her books which sometimes is a hit or miss for me. But near the end, I forgot about it and LOVED Dr Hank and how he connected the dots. I almost bawled my eyes out when he said he’d do anything for one more day with his wife. I think it was an overall fantastic story!!!

There are so many things about this book to love but overall it’s the way that it made me feel. There were so many relatable and very real topics in this book that made it so easy to connect to the characters and the story. The romance side of things was a little insta-lovey and typically that isn’t something I gravitate towards but due to the logistics in Samantha and Xavier’s relationship, it still gave me the yearning feeling I enjoy, especially because I’ve done long distance before and knew exactly what they were going through. Abby also does a great layering in the different family dynamics and traumatic histories that give us more than just a love story to care about. I will admit loudly that I bawled by eyes out, so proceed with caution but this is such an incredible book so you should absolutely read it.

Not my favorite of Jimenez's works. The main couple is cute, but I don't love insta-love romances and this one just gets bleak with all the hits these characters have to endure!

The book became a chore to finish. The will they or won't they was exhausting. There were a couple of funny cute moments but it could have been a short story
