Abby Jimenez is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors and an auto-buy author. There is just something about the way she writes that always pulls me in. She has this way of taking everything in life and turning it into something beautiful. Her books always put a smile on my face and put me in a good mood. Her latest title, Say You’ll Remember Me, is no exception.
Say You’ll Remember Me follows Xavier and Samantha. Xavier Rush, a charming veterinarian with a "Greek god" appearance, is initially everything Samantha might want in a guy. He is handsome, caring, and even great with animals. His first impression is ruined when he opens his mouth and says something that sets off Samantha’s defiant side. She thrives on proving people wrong, especially those who come across as cocky or presumptuous. As their evening together progresses, they share an incredible, nearly perfect date. For a while, it seems like they might have something real. However, Samantha’s life is complicated by a family crisis, and she feels she cannot afford to pursue a relationship with Xavier. In an emotional moment, she begs him to forget her and keep their night as a beautiful, unforgettable memory, no matter how much it hurts. Despite the distance, time, and her request, Samantha can’t shake the deep bond they formed, and Xavier can’t forget her either. Eventually, they both realise that sometimes the perfect memory isn’t enough. What they need is a future, one that could be even more memorable than a single night. It’s a story about love, second chances, and the power of making memories together, even when life gets complicated.
At its core, this is a romance book, but there is more to it than that. We have Samantha and Xavier, who meet by chance. Samantha ends up at Xavier’s vet clinic with a kitten, who is supposed to die. It needs surgery, but Xaiver, who is putting on the grumpy front, believes that it will not survive. To prove him wrong, Samantha ends up raising the funds to save the kitten’s life and goes back to rub it in his face. By chance, he asks her out to dinner, which results in a romance. The only thing is that it is supposed to be a one-night deal. However, as is to be in these kinds of stories, they end up falling for each other and developing feelings for each other. Great, right? Well, there is a problem. Samantha is going back to California to take care of her mother, who has dementia and is getting worse. While Samantha's mom’s dementia is not the core of the book, it plays a big part in the plot. We see how it affects all aspects of Samantha’s life and her quest to give her mom the best care possible.
We see how much of an impact her mom’s dementia has on the family. While they do want ot honour their mother’s wishes for her to stay in her home, things are not always as clear as what they seem. The family loves her and wishes for her to have the best life possible. However, it takes its toll on them. Maybe saying that I enjoyed this aspect of the story is taking it a bit too far. I think it adds a layer to the story and makes it much more complex than it would have been without it. We see how it tears the family apart and how it takes a toll on everyone’s life. These people are truly trying to do what is best and do want to take care of her. However, it does get to the point where it becomes too much, and they have to start thinking about other options. It’s heartbreaking to see on the page, and a sad story. It’s real, though. Every day, some families are being forced to make the same choices, and it breaks them. I do appreciate the book for having this in there. It shows us just how complex and complicated caring for someone is, and the impact it can have on people. This book stands out because it shows us that not everything is all peaches and roses, that these are very difficult choices that people have to make, and they should not be judged for it.
