Publisher Description
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 a*****e 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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Abby Jimenez goes for a mixture of laughter and tears in this long-distance romance—and boy, does she nail it. When kindhearted marketing manager Samantha rushes a rescued kitten to the animal hospital, she ends up in a war of words with Xavier, the grumpy vet on duty. One excellent apology later, they go on pretty much the best first date ever. Only problem is, Sam’s on the verge of moving back home to California to become her ill mother’s full-time at-home caregiver, so romance is the last thing she needs. We were instantly smitten with this couple, along with their lovable ensemble of family, friends, and coworkers. At the same time, this is an all-too-real family drama about caring for a loved one who’s slipping away from you, so keep the tissues handy as well. Say You’ll Remember Me is a roller coaster, and it’s worth the ride.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Love conquers all in this heartwarming contemporary from bestseller Jimenez (Just for the Summer). New cat parent Samantha Diaz and hunky veterinarian Xavier Rush don't exactly meet cute: he bluntly tells her she has no choice but to put down her rescue kitten, who has a genetic defect, and she calls him an asshole. When the pair happen to reunite, however, he apologizes for his brashness and tells Samantha he admires her commitment to her animals—and her willingness to call him out. This second meeting leads to an elaborate dream date—complete with a UFO-themed escape room—and an undeniable attraction. Unfortunately, their chemistry can't lead to a relationship, as Samantha's about to move 2,000 miles away to help care for her mother, who has early onset dementia. Even with all that distance between them, neither can forget their magnetic connection, but being together for real will mean both of them reevaluating their priorities. The author expertly weaves a beautiful budding romance with real-life struggles: elder care, complicated family dynamics, the stress of veterinarian services, and overcoming mental, emotional, and physical childhood trauma. Jimenez knows just how to tug on the heartstrings.
Customer Reviews
Beautiful commentary on long distance!
I loved reading this book! As someone who has a lot of long distance connections and is constantly battling with the idea of distance vs love, this book made me feel seen in so many different ways. It’s honest and raw. It also just made me smile because the love seemed real. I loved the depth both characters carried because of their different family backgrounds. I liked how natural the dialogues read, though at times they were a bit too on the nose for my taste. That being said, it’s a lovely read. Highly recommend for anyone who has ever been in a long distance relationship :)
3.5
Say You’ll Remember Me de Abby Jimenez fue una lectura amena y fácil de seguir. Aborda temas familiares y de salud con sensibilidad, aunque no necesariamente conecté con todos los enfoques.
Si bien disfruté la historia, sentí que en algunos momentos la trama se extendía innecesariamente añadiendo demasiadas dificultades. Aun así, fue una buena lectura que se deja leer y entretiene. ⭐⭐⭐✨
Say You’ll Remember Me - Abby Jimenez
Abby Jimenez takes us on a journey of growth and understanding that, while family responsibilities are a huge part, it should not be everything. We have to compromise and find the perfect balance of responsibilities. Say You'll Remember Me is a new series to the A Part of Your World series; the characters don't really tie in with the previous books except the setting of the book. I still recommend this book because the storyline is beautiful written especially Samantha's family responsibilities
