Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez

4.0

---

First 50% was 👌 chef's kiss, as usual. Second half was not so good mainly because of the way both characters were constantly inner monologuing about how the other person isn't there, won't witness them, blah blah blah. It was repetitive. I feel like Jimenez can't write convincing story conflict. They all feel so contrived.

Interestingly, this book feels a bit like women's fiction and not romance because Samantha's life is not easy and it was honestly pretty stressful reading about her mother's dementia, the family troubles, etc. I felt Jimenez wrote herself into a corner because the resolution felt like deus ex machinas. Still, I really like Jimenez's stories. There's just something so life-affirming about them.
