I devoured this book in 24 hours. Tears were streaming down my face for the last 4 chapters. Ugh, the rawness of it melted me. Abby Jimenez has done it again.

I had the honor of receiving an ARC of Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez. It came right at the perfect time because I needed a fluffy break from the darker stuff I’ve been reading. 

I couldn’t put it down. I stayed up way later than I should have to finish reading it. I know way more about butthole-less kittens than I ever thought I would. 

Xavier is quite possibly the perfect book man. While Samantha is a vibrant character, her life has turned to shades of gray. Xavier, stone faced but kind hearted, brings color into Samantha’s life. Abby brought me to the point of heartbreak with this book and then stitched my little black soul back up. 

I felt like there was a couple of things that could have had more attention to resolution but overall, I loved this book and would absolutely recommend grabbing it as soon as it hits the shelves.

I finished the book just a few moments ago and to say it was everything I’d hoped it would be and more. I LOVED Xavier and Samantha from the moment they met. They have some of the best chemistry in any book I’ve read recently. I teared up multiple times and loved all of the calls to earlier parts of the book in the end. It was an added perk to the emotional pay off. 

Here are some of spoiler-free notes from passages I highlighted on my kindle:

“THIS IS EMOTIONAL WARFARE.”
“SHADOW DADDY!!”
“I love this for them.”
“!!!!!!”
“Xavier is my new book husband.”
“Oh, you sweet summer child.”

I could not put it down and would give Abby naming rights to all future children if she writes another book about these two. 

Hands down, my favorite romcom I’ve read all year. I’ll be daydreaming about Xavier and Samantha for a while. Excuse me while I go and preorder multiple copies of this.

maybe? 
Abby has done it yet again! This book was full of all the emotions for me. Laughing one chapter and sobbing during the next. These characters (and Abby's writing) sucks you right into their universe. I was hooked by the end of the first page and only stopped because it was Halloween and my kids wanted to go trick or treating (ugh kids, am I right? Just kidding...sort of 😂🫣) I promptly finished the next day. Samantha and Xavier are so relatable and their chemistry is off the charts. The banter is perfection and even though he looks broody, Xavier is an ooey gooey cinnamon roll that I can not get enough of. My only complaint is I want to know if the succulent is still alive 😘
