Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez 

zzzzzzzzz

I see why people haven’t been liking this. It’s very 2024 and 2025 with references to match. I think it will age poorly and even now gave me full body cringe. It’s also basically insta love, he asks her out in the first 6% of the novel.

The fact that there are two rysand references (BY TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW EACH OTHER) is literally insane. One I could take, two is dumb.

All the characters feel very similar, especially in dialogue, except the MMC. It’s pretty bland and also felt lazy. I didn’t feel any passion behind this one

The main characters felt too perfect, the date felt too perfect. It was boring. Especially the man, being the exact person anyone would want, literally no flaws. Even when things went wrong, their reactions were so bleh. No one got snippy or irritated, at least they were with each other. Always so grateful to be together.

Insta love, boring, uninteresting characters. I wasn’t invested at all. I also noticed the audiobook has the two narrators in each other’s POV which made it hard to tell who’s thoughts we were in since everyone was so similar. There were no stakes or tension. Everyone said the right thing at the right time. 

My faith in Abby Jimenez is shaken because of this book. I will be borrowing before buying her books now.

I wish I could forget this one.

The best parts were when the two MCs were separate and not talking. I like Xaviers family issues, that was the only part I actually was interested and invested in.

The rest was better than the first half, but because it was built on such shaky foundation, it doesn’t hold up.

2/5
