Looking for the perfect summer read? ☀️📚 In this episode, I'm sharing why Abby Jimenez has become my go-to romance author. After finishing Say You'll Remember Me, I realized I've loved every one of her novels I've picked up—a rare feat these days. I compare her books with two other authors I've loved, Emily Henry and Katherine Center, and talk about what happens when a favorite author's formula starts to feel a little too familiar.
We chat about Beach Read, People We Meet on Vacation, Happy Place, Funny Story, Great Big Beautiful Life, Things You Save in a Fire, How to Walk Away, The Bodyguard, Hello Stranger, Part of Your World, Yours Truly, Just for the Summer, and Say You'll Remember Me. Plus, I share the surprising fact I learned about Abby Jimenez after finishing her latest novel and why I think her books continue to stand out in a crowded rom-com genre. If you're looking for your next beach read—or just love talking books—I think you'll enjoy this one.
