In true Abby Jimenez fashion, I laughed-out-loud, swooned, and read through teary eyes while devouring her newest novel. Heavy themes are made lighter with rom-com energy and a thirst trap of a main male character. Could not put this down.

GAWDDDDD.

Admittedly, this is probably closer to a 4.5 than a 5, but the back third had me in tears multiple times and absolutely pushed it over for me.

This book was not at all what I expected, but I loved it dearly. The love between Xavier and Samantha was genuinely palpable, and the backdrop of Samantha’s family struggles was heartbreaking and beautiful.

The story felt incredibly, deeply real, even if parts of it erred on the side of corny (it’s literally a romance novel, so I don’t know what else I would expect).

This was another stellar read from Abby Jimenez. Thank you so much to Netgalley and Forever for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is perfect, no notes. Grumpy x sunshine in the best way possible, heart wrenching and so sweet all at the same time.

I was literally so deep in my feels the entire book and I wouldn’t change it for the world. This is Abby’s best work yet in my opinion. Also Xavier omg!!!

This book wrecked me and I loved it! Abby Jimenez is one of my favorite authors. I love how she deals with tough topics. I’ve already recommended to several friends.

Abby Jimenez’s books feel real in a way I have never experienced with other romance novels (or any other genre for that matter.) Say You’ll Remember Me was painful and beautiful and I couldn’t put it down. I can’t recommend this book enough!

This story was absolutely beautiful. The characters and the issues were so real- devastating and hopeful. There were a lot of tough topics dealt with: memory loss, child abuse, animal abuse, debt, and lots of deep love. I laughed out loud and sobbed out loud. Such a good book. I will definitely recommend this to others when it comes out next year.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance copy to read ahead of this book release!

Another beautiful, funny, heart-tugging book by Abby Jimenez! She continues to give us the most precious love stories within a world we all can relate to - one where layoffs happen, terminal illnesses exist, and our mental health and relationships are strained through the day-to-day experiences of being human.

The love story between the two main characters, Xavier and Samantha, remains steady throughout a long distance relationship, navigation of grief, career changes, and so much more. Samantha's mother has dementia which leads to many heartbreaking yet simultaneously tender conversations on having a witness in life, having someone to be with us through everything.

This is one of those books that gets to you examine your own life, relationships, and mortality. There's so many laughs and so much sweetness to be enjoyed in this read - when I finished, I felt hopeful and grateful for the life I have, those in it, and those to come.

Thank you to the Forever publishing team and Netgalley for the ARC!

Another delightful Abby Jimenez book!!

This was such a good representation of cross county lives, the power of will to make it work, and dealing with hard family dynamics. Per usual, Abby packs a punch with the addition of caring for a loved one with dementia and absent/ narcissistic parents. I loved the way the conflicts were handled in this book. There were numerous obstacles I wasn't sure would be handled well, but as always they were handled with realistic solutions.

4/5 stars. Docking a star purely because the pop culture/ book culture references seemed a bit overdone. The main female character also just felt a bit shallow and immature at times.

Overall a STUNNER of a book. Huge thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez. It was a very emotional plot line that had her main characters conflicted about what to do for most of the book. The tension made the ending so sweet! The book is more romantic than spicy. I loved the characters. They were complex, realistic, and funny. I will definitely be keeping it in mind to recommend to library patrons.

Jimenez writes flawlessly. Easy to read from word one. Her characters are relatable, the life situations are written so well, so accurately with dignity and truth too.
This book reads and is laid out differently than her others, and remains to leave a heartfelt story.

Loved this one very much.

Thank you to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a beautiful and heart wrenching love story. And not just the romantic kind but also the family kind. So many feelings.

First, thanks to NetGalley for this ARC. I almost screamed when I got the email.

Secondly, wow. This has got to be Abby's best book yet. It is emotional, and raw and really had me looking at life in a new way. There is rarely a book that moves me this much. I was OBSESSED with Xavier and Sam getting together and flew through this in less than 24 hours because I couldn't put it down. I think Abby did a really good job at talking about dementia and all of the complexities that went along with this book. I only wish that Sam and Xavier had more time together.

I am a sucker for all things deeply emotional, gut-wrenching, soul-sucking romance books and Abby is the QUEEN of this genre!!! Her upcoming, Say you'll remember me has some of the BEST swoony moments, an ultimate VILF MMC (IYKYK) and the most authentic, realistic, dementia rep I've ever read. I got sooo invested in Samantha and Xavier's love story and rooting for them to find a way to be together despite the many, many obstacles in their way. Xavier shot to the top of my Book boyfriend list and it will take a LOT to unseat him!! HUGE thanks to NetGalley and Forever for an early digital copy! Abby is an auto-read, auto-buy, ultimate favorite author and fellow fans will not want to miss this one.

CW: animal cruelty, child abuse/neglect, dementia/Alzheimers

Um, hello? Where do I sign up for an Xavier? A Rhysand-type hot veterinarian who performs generous acts of service, and sure, he's a little grumpy, but only because he'd be too perfect otherwise!

Abby Jimenez nails it again with Say You'll Remember Me. It's a beautiful story about, in part, how we make memories as evidence of our lives lived. "There is nothing more beautiful than being a witness to someone's life." The small moments are what your life is made of, so what will you choose to fill them with?

The story is difficult at times (read the content warnings) but handled well and balanced with Abby's trademark humour and some excellent spice. I always recommend Abby's books and do so again wholeheartedly!

Abby Jimenez is an author who never lets me down. Please do not think that her books are your run-of-the-mill romance. The characters are multifaceted, the plots are unique, and the endings are more unpredictable than not. Say You'll Remember Me is another hit. I loved the characters - all of them. They're relatable, likeable, and the dialog is engaging. I started reading at around 6PM on a Thursday evening and finished the book around midnight. I suggest you clear your calendar to read Say You'll Remember Me in one sitting.

Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez is an emotional romance full of heartache and hope. Xavier Rush, the seemingly perfect veterinarian, meets his match in Samantha. Their connection is full of chemistry from the moment they meet, leading to an unforgettable first date. This novel explores second chances, and the courage to fight for love while also being vulnerable. I loved the wit and banter between Xavier and Samantha, along with the emotional depth of their relationship. Xavier’s unwavering belief in their potential is both swoon worthy and inspiring. Between its vibrant characters, heartfelt themes, and blend of humor and poignancy, you’ll absolutely adore this book!

Dare I say this is my favorite book by Abby ever? I keep thinking it can’t possibly get any better and here I am. IT KEPT GETTING BETTER. I went through every emotion while reading this book. And for a long time I was so devastated by some of the heavy themes of the story, I was uncomfortable. I wanted to give up. I’m so glad I didn’t because it all came together so well. The pain had a ton of purpose. I don’t think this book is going to be for everyone because I’m not sure everyone can do that. Or at least everyone might now be in a good place to do that. Most of all, I can tell we are being set up for another perfect universe of interconnected standalones.

Another 5⭐️ read by Abby Jimenez! A hot vet + a hilarious social media marketing queen that rescues a kitten. From the beginning, I was completely invested in this story!!!

Xavier, the gorgeous vet, says the wrong thing to Samatha when she comes into his office with a kitten. She is determined to prove him wrong, and they end up on the best endless date. Samatha admits the truth that her family is in crisis so she is unable to commit, and she begs Xavier to forget her and mom on. Lucky for them, no distance or time was enough for him to forget about her (or her forget him)… the only thing better than their perfect date would be to make a life and love worth remembering.

One of the best parts of Abby’s books is that they have a beautiful emotional piece. Both Xavier + Samatha have been through some really tough family stuff, and I loved seeing them have the support from each other, even from afar.

The things this man does for her… you guys he is so down bad and it is soooo hot! He works extra hours to be able to see her, sends her gifts when he thinks of her, helps her take care of her mom and drops EVERYTHING when she needs his emotional support.

Of course I cried because it is an Abby Jimenez book. The pug ;,( !!! Hank ;,(!!! The ending ;,(!!!

The end was so emotional and beautiful. It was the perfect ending, especially with her mom getting to see her so in love❤️‍🩹 what a beautiful story and what beautiful characters!

I absolutely love everything that Abby writes, Im so excited to keep reading whatever she puts out. I loved this story and I cant wait for everyone to read it.

To say that I squealed when this ARC dropped in my NetGalley approved list is an understatement. This book does not disappoint and Abby Jimenez has done it again. Xavier and Samantha are a couple that don't skirt around their feelings and attraction for one another. This wasn't a story on will they or won't they, it was a complex navigation of love, commitment, family, loss, and believing in the life you deserve to have. I ate this up in just over a day. It felt different that her other books but in a way that had it feeling fresh and new. Definitely something I will recommend to friends, family, and customers - not just because it is Abby Jimenez but because this book is truly good and worthy of your time.
