Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez | wanted a beach romance but we ended up crying

In this emotionally packed episode, Yajaira and Cheli dive into Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez—a book that lured them in with its cute cover but hit hard with its portrayal of grief, family caregiving, and emotional burnout. While the romance is present, it quickly becomes clear that this story is also about the quiet battles happening behind closed doors.

The hosts reflect on the heavy themes woven into the story, including the realities of long-distance relationships, the emotional toll of caretaking, and the ways trauma can linger in everyday life. They especially connect with the book’s portrayal of family chaos, tender moments, and unexpected wisdom (like how food can fix more than just hunger).

From tearful scenes to unexpected laughs (and even a conversation about IRS debt and ugly crying on TikTok), this episode mixes heartfelt reflection with classic Book Fix humor. They also respond to one-star and five-star Goodreads reviews—and they definitely have thoughts.

Abby Jimenez, if you’re listening… next time, maybe warn us better.
