Stephanie Sullivan: Review - Say You’ll Remember Me

December 21, 2024

TITLE: Say You’ll Remember Me

RATING: ★★★★

RELEASE DATE: April 1st, 2025

Summary (from Goodreads): 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.

REVIEW: What a great little love story! This is the first book I’ve read by Abby Jimenez, and I enjoyed it so much I finished it in two days. The snarky dialogue made me laugh out loud SO many times, and the emotional moments brought tears to my eyes. This is a funny yet moving story about a family dealing with dementia, and Xavier is an admirable hero you can’t help but swoon over. Samantha is a down-to-earth and relatable heroine, and she’s also someone to admire. I would highly recommend Say You’ll Remember Me to everyone. It was a nice little break from historical fiction for me, and I look forward to reading more of Jimenez’s work in the future.
