Library Journal Review

When Samantha brings her new kitten to attractive veterinarian Xavier, their first interaction does not go well. Xavier instantly puts his foot in his mouth but redeems himself at Samantha's next vet visit and asks her out. Unfortunately, after the world's most perfect, never-ending date, Xavier discovers that Samantha is moving across the country the next day. In the midst of dealing with an ongoing family crisis, Samantha tells Xavier to move on and forget her and their one perfect day together, but they both soon find that they can't stop thinking about each other. Well-paced from beginning to end, the book deftly tackles challenges, such as early-onset dementia and caring for a parent, in between sweet and sexy scenes. Samantha and Xavier's story will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced long-distance romance, and secondary characters are so well drawn that they're practically begging for their own books. VERDICT Another winner from Jimenez (Just for the Summer). Readers won't be able to put down this laugh-out-loud funny romance and will be cheering for Samantha and Xavier even when the chips are stacked against them. A must-have for all public libraries.--Whitney Kramer

Publishers Weekly Review

Love conquers all in this heartwarming contemporary from bestseller Jimenez (Just for the Summer). New cat parent Samantha Diaz and hunky veterinarian Xavier Rush don't exactly meet cute: he bluntly tells her she has no choice but to put down her rescue kitten, who has a genetic defect, and she calls him an asshole. When the pair happen to reunite, however, he apologizes for his brashness and tells Samantha he admires her commitment to her animals--and her willingness to call him out. This second meeting leads to an elaborate dream date--complete with a UFO-themed escape room--and an undeniable attraction. Unfortunately, their chemistry can't lead to a relationship, as Samantha's about to move 2,000 miles away to help care for her mother, who has early onset dementia. Even with all that distance between them, neither can forget their magnetic connection, but being together for real will mean both of them reevaluating their priorities. The author expertly weaves a beautiful budding romance with real-life struggles: elder care, complicated family dynamics, the stress of veterinarian services, and overcoming mental, emotional, and physical childhood trauma. Jimenez knows just how to tug on the heartstrings. (Apr.)

Booklist Review

Samantha Diaz believes most people are good, and she is going to prove it to grumpy veterinarian Dr. Xavier Rush by raising the funds necessary to provide Pooter, the young kitten she found, with the life-saving surgery the tiny feline needs. Much to Samantha's surprise, Xavier not only donates to the Pooter fund, but admits he was wrong. Then Xavier turns right around and asks Samantha out on a date. It turns out to be the best date either one of them has ever had, but circumstances are forcing Samantha to move across the country to be with her family. So, what Samantha now wants Xavier to do is not only forget about the most unforgettable night of his life, but to forget about her as well. Jimenez's (Just for the Summer, 2024) latest soul-satisfying love story spotlights two memorably messy yet all-too relatable protagonists, a couple of totally adorable four-legged characters, and writing imbued with a deliciously wicked sense of humor. Gracefully folded into all this is an insightful and sympathetic take on the challenges and rewards of caring for a loved one with dementia.

Summary

The instant #1 New York Times bestseller!

"No one does funny, emotional, life-affirming love stories quite like Abby Jimenez. She just keeps outdoing herself." ―Emily Henry

There's no such thing as a perfect guy, but Xavier Rush comes disastrously close. A gorgeous veterinarian giving Greek god vibes--all while cuddling a tiny kitten? Immediate yes. That is until Xavier opens his mouth and proves that even sculpted gods can say the absolute wrong thing. Like, really wrong. Of course, there's nothing Samantha loves more than proving an asshole wrong ... unless, of course, he can admit he made a mistake.

But after one incredible and seemingly endless date, Samantha is forced to admit the truth, that her family is in crisis and any kind of relationship would be impossible. Samantha begs Xavier to forget her. To remember their night together as a perfect moment, as crushing as that may be. Only no amount of distance or time is enough to forget what's between them. And the only thing better than one single perfect memory is to make a life--and even a love--worth remembering.
