Say You'll Remember Me: An irresistibly hilarious and heartbreaking love story from the bestselling author of JUST FOR THE SUMMER

By Abby Jimenez

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.

This was a perfect rom-com! Normally I'd ask for more closure between side characters and main characters, but in the case of Xavier's family, I'm perfectly content with him going no contact and not needing closure. In fact, I think that's also a powerful story to tell. I really loved the story, the connection between characters, and the funny moments in this book. I also loved the duet in the audio version! It's been such a privelege to read Abby Jimenez, and very book seems better than the last!

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!

Still the best book Abby has written….so far. This was a reread to prepare for The Night We Met….which could be the best book Abby has ever written. Stay tuned! I still cried throughout this entire book. Abby did such a wonderful job representing memory care and the impacts it truly has on families. Coupled with the kind of love that is real and messy and a true partnership. This book is probably the best representation of what women really want. The way she brings to light the struggles women face when dating through a safe and healthy man made me cry. Acknowledging consent, safety, boundaries, and showing how partnerships should be functioning. Women anticipate and fill needs and the MMC doing this, seeing a need and fulfilling it instead of being asked, not being a man child, was an absolute breath of fresh air. This book is so much more than your typical romcom. She took women’s real fantasies and created the best story. One that is life and is messy with fights and history….and a life being built and lived. Being seen is the best kind of love one can give, and receive.
