Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez
5.0
What a wonderful way to start my new year. This story resonates with me in so many ways. As a caregiver myself, I can relate to how the female MC feels caring for her mother who has dementia. As a person who was disowned by her parents when she was a teenager, I know how the male MC feels towards his narcissistic, abusive, estranged, parents.
But more so, I loved this pairing. Samantha is a funny, strong, interesting MC with a family of supporting characters that made the story believable and enjoyable. I was rooting for them all. I wanted to see their situation work out. Xavier was the perfect love interest. His conflict with his parents and his feeling of having to prove himself, the way he remained loyal to Samantha and was so caring towards her and her family (and all the animals he was taking care of as a veterinarian. The TikTok scene was hilarious!)...almost to his own detriment. And the little twist with Xavier towards the end was *chef's kiss.* Tears were shed. Happy tears.
This is a true love story. I hope Abby Jimenez gets a movie deal for this story. She always writes a great book, so my bar was raised suuper high going into this one, and she just bumped it up another level. It was the perfect mix of angst, sadness, hope, comedy, and most importantly...love. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this book.
