In this episode, we dive into the contemporary romance book Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez. We’re big fans of Abby Jimenez's books and enjoy how her books show how characters are influenced by their past and how it impacts their current lives in very profound ways. We discuss how Xavier’s childhood caused him to be closed off to most new people in his life, the challenges of long-distance relationships, what it’s like to care for a person with dementia or Alzheimer’s, and the lighthearted moments in the book that help balance some of the heavy topics in the books. Plus, we talk about how this book brings up so many topics that make you ponder aspects of your own life and how to prepare to help care for aging parents.
