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.

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 😘

mmc deals with memories of child abuse, as well as incidents where he recalls his father drowning his dogs puppies when he was a child. He faced emotional, physical and verbal abuse. Mfc has a mother with early onset dementia and is primary caretaker for parts of the book. She also loses her grandmother unexpectedly and deals with depression after the loss.

I honestly don’t know how Abby continues to write these flawless, emotional masterpieces time after time. I am never as besotted or consumed by a story as I am when reading one of her books. Truly unmatchable 

Xavier and Samantha’s story made me ache for them, but in the best possible way 

Prepare, as always, for your heart to be shattered. But trust that Abby will put it back together again like only she can 

Honestly, how can anyone have people tear up at the answer to “would you still love me if I were a worm?” What is this sorcery?
