Thank you NetGalley for this read, and THANK YOU Abby because this book kept me reading after Onyx Storm (Yes, I wanted to wallow until book 4)
This was so funny and at the same time so touching and emotional. The family aspect of the story was hard and beautiful.
Xavier, Rhysand given life [Abby's word not mine (Yes there is multiple SJM references and I love it)J, you are a gift to book-kind.
Samantha, you are hilarious and loyal....
I love them sooooo much.

This book was an absolute page-turner! I was completely captivated by the story and found myself laughing out loud at the witty banter and charming characters. The author's ability to create such relatable and endearing characters is truly remarkable. I was particularly moved by Samantha's family storyline, which added a layer of depth and emotion to the narrative. This book is a delightful read that will stay with me long after I've turned the final page.

Xavier Rush may be the perfect man. A veterinarian with Greek god vibes and immediately attractive to Samantha, brought together by her rescue kitten. Despite the sparks between them, his first impression isn't the best, but she gives him a chance to redeem himself and they have the first date ever. But will it be their last?
I can't reveal more about this, save for spoilers but there was just so much I enjoyed about this one. The author's novels always, without fail, involve tears at some point and some laughs and joy. Oh my heart! Her writing has that playful feel and all of this together is such a fabulous combination.
I can't wait for her next one already. 4.5*

Abby Jimenez does it again
i would read Abby's do-to list.
I love the main characters and side characters she just makes me care

I actually loved this book sooo much but I’m also not surprised because after all… it’s Abby Jimenez! I loved the references to Rhysand, loved how real the characters and their problems felt, and it was the perfect mix of emotional and funny at the same time

Another beautiful book from Abby Jimenez. This was actually my first read from this author but I've seen so many people rave about her writing (and after finishin Say You'll Remember Me) it is totally, totally justified.

I laughed, I cried, and I fell in love with Xavier and Sam. There were some complicated family dynamics and this just made the characters feel even more real; I adored the concepts of making memories to last a lifetime because that's what we all should be doing! This is a book that will stay with me, in the best possible way, for a very longtime so if you're in any doubt, please pick it up <3

As if I didn’t already love Abby Jimenez, she goes ahead and writes an MMC that looks exactly like Rhysand. Bat boy number one. High lord of the night court. Mr tall dark and handsome himself. Which we get confirmed, from multiple sources within the book btw. Like hello? Talk about a perfect start! 😂 But joking aside, the looks aren’t what’s important in this book, it’s the story itself. Jimenez has dropped another extremely heartfelt, banter filled, emotional roller coaster of a romance in our laps. Xavier and Samantha are polar opposites in many ways, but they work so incredibly well together. And seriously the best meet cute, and first date, I’ve read about in a LONG time. Come on Eileen will forever have a new meaning 🎶

The whole concept of making memories to last a lifetime, memories you can remember down the line and think fondly of, is so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Both of our protagonists relationships with their families are so heavy and tearjerking, and brings out so much depth and understanding. I feel so bad for both Xavier and Samantha, on different levels. Because what they’ve been through, and are still going through, is very different, which you’ll see when you read the book 🙏🏼 It also depicts very well the dynamics of a long distance relationship. The emotional tug it has on a person, is love really enough to make it last?

So good. Just, so good. Aaaand, now I’m crying again 😭

Also, I’m just gonna leave this here, #VILF

Abby Jimenez can do NO WRONG! This was both a joy and a heartbreak to read but ultimately pulled at my heartstrings the way that she does best every! single! time!

This was undoubtedly her most emotional book yet, but my god was it beautiful! The escape room scene, the VILF, the family dynamics and the banter did it for me unlike anything else 🌟 I am endlessly floored by the way she balances the humorous with the most hard-hitting topics, whilst simultaneously making you laugh not a second later. I cannot WAIT to scream about this book from the rooftops!

I was lucky enough to get an arc for this book on NetGalley. I’m a huge fan of all Abby Jiminez books, I love them all and this one was no different.

Once I started it, I couldn’t put it down, it had me laughing and crying from the start all the way through to the end. Abby sure knows how to find the perfect balance between comedy, romance and heavy topics.

I absolutely love Abby Jimenez books and was delighted to get an early copy of her newest book Say You’ll Remember Me. As expected, I was not disappointed and simply could not put the book down once I started! Another triumph from Jimenez and eagerly look forward to reading more from the author in the future.

Absolutely loved it! I near enough read it in one sitting and it had me giggling and kicking my feet! Abby Jimenez has done it again.
The characters were so relatable and their chemistry was so well written. Samantha's family story line pulled at my heart strings in all the best ways and the book took me on such a wonderful journey! Thank you for letting me read it early!

This is my second book by Abby Jimenez and I have to say I think I enjoyed this one even more! Such a great read. Definitely going to read her other books :)

Literally perfection, I couldn't put it down. Such a gorgeous read. I will definitely be reading more of Abbys work.

Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez was everything I hoped for and more—an emotional, heartfelt story that hit me right in the feels. Abby has an incredible gift for creating stories that resonate so deeply, and this one might just be my new favorite of hers.

The characters felt so real, with raw, authentic emotions that had me completely invested in their journey. The romance was beautifully written—equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking—and I found myself tearing up more than once. Abby’s signature blend of humor, depth, and vulnerability shines here, making the story feel both relatable and profound.

I honestly love anything Abby writes, but this book was something special. It left me emotional, reflective, and so grateful for her ability to craft stories that stay with me long after I’ve turned the last page. If you’re a fan of her work—or just love books that hit hard and linger—this one is an absolute must-read.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.

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.

I read the book in two days a s I could not put it down. Every time I finish a book by Abby Jimenez I think it can never get better than this… and then it does. Abbi Jimenez never disappoints. She is An auto buy author for sure.

Perfection! Utter perfection!
I yearned, I cried, I felt it all with Samantha and Xavier. Their story was so heartbreaking but also so hopeful the way they knew they were willing to whatever just to get those moments with each other.

If I could give infinite stars, I would. My favourite AJ book to date.

Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez was an emotional read, but one I found ultimately disappointing. The pace was incredibly slow and I found that I wasn't invested in Xavier and Sam's relationship. Yes, their initial chemistry is undeniable and I thought their original meet-cute was hilarious and pretty adorable, however, their relationship immediately felt strained and both characters became incredibly needy after only one date. Their attachment to one another felt forced and highly unrealistic, which was unlike previous Abby Jimenez books I had read.

The scenes I enjoyed the most, no matter how heartbreaking, were the ones that explored Sam's family dynamics. This book deals with dementia and childhood trauma in a delicate, thoughtful and beautifully written way, however the relationship at its core felt forced and laboured.

This is the first book to have made me cry in a good long while. From start to finish, I thought this was just beautiful. I loved in how much vivid detail Samantha and Xavier's first date was described. I loved seeing them spend so much time together throughout the book and fall deeper and deeper in love. I loved how the conflict never came from inside their relationship, but from the outside instead. I could clearly see why both of them needed to be where they were, even if it was breaking them not to be together, and until the very end I kept wondering how on earth this would be resolved into a HEA, and I loved when it did. Samantha's family situation was described with so much care, it was clear to see how much Samantha loved her mother and wanted to take care of her. This made for a pretty emotional read, but in such a heartwarming way, and there was so much humour too. This might be my favourite Abby Jimenez book so far.

Abby Jimenez, an auto buy author for me for sure and this novel just further proves that. So sad but also so overwhelmingly beautiful too, I'm genuinely swept away and this could be hard to top this year.

I'd say reading the trigger warnings and topics before starting is important (particularly surrounding dementia), as some of these are very prominent in the book and hard hitting.

The main characters, Xavier and Samamtha are so well written and my heart was aching for them. Their love story is moving, beautiful and heartwrenching all at once. I spent the entire book rooting for them, but feeling personally hurt through their hardships too.

There are so many important thoughts, quotes and meaningful moments in this book that really make you stop and think about if you're making the most of your life. It's certainly made me stop and think about if I'm treasuring those around me, and how to create those meaningful memories and feelings that last a lifetime.

Thank you to Netgalley and Little Brown Book Group UK for providing me with the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved every book by Abby Jimenez but this one was not for me. I coudln't get over the fact that the story started around the kitten's (lack of) butthole. And I couldn't believe the instant attraction over litteraly nothing so I wasn't invested.
