Award-winning and bestselling Jimenez (Yours Truly) gets a 500K-copy first printing for the story of Xavier, a gorgeous veterinarian, and Samantha, to whom he says the wrong thing. On a forgive-me date, the two hit it off spectacularly. However, Samantha's life is in crisis, and she decides to tell Xavier to forget all about her. Prepub Alert.

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

Starred review from March 1, 2025
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.
