REVIEW: Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez

OUR REVIEW:

I am a sucker for Abby Jimenez's novels and the second it hits my kindle, I'm pushing anything else aside and diving in. Even in the novels of hers that I didn't rate 5 stars, I enjoyed them so much, I'd go back to them at any time to read them. 

In the case of Say You Remember Me we get the love story of Xavier and Samantha and their most perfect first date that then leads them into a very long distance relationship. Over the course of months, they try to not be together but neither of them are able to stop the ache that develops any time they think about a future without the other. The reasons they can't just up and move and make it work are completely reasonable but that won't keep you from feeling angsty and frustrated for them. All you want is for them to figure it out and see them together forever, because you have zero doubt that they must be. 

In the midst of all of this is Samantha's caretaking of her mother, the complicated relationships she has with her family, and trying to balance all of that with work and her love of Xavier. Meanwhile Xavier is trying to figure out how to make enough money to get to her as often as possible, while maintaining his new vet practice and not completely lose it all. So complicated. So frustrating. So worth the read. If I have any complaint, it's that I wasn't quite ready to see their story end...but isn't that always how I feel with Abby Jimenez's novels? Why yes, yes it is.

SYNOPSIS:

There might be no such a thing as a perfect guy, but Xavier Rush comes disastrously close. A gorgeous veterinarian giving Greek god vibes—all while cuddling a tiny kitten? Immediately 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—possibly the best in living history—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 nearly enough to forget that something between them. And the only thing better than one single perfect memory is to make a life—and even a love—worth remembering.
