Audiobook Review: The Night We Met (Say You'll Remember Me #2) by Abby Jimenez

Narrators: Teresa Palmer & Zachary Webber

Main Characters:

Larissa — the female lead

Chris — the male lead

Mike — Larissa's boyfriend

Wooferine — (a yorkie rescued, and shared, by Chris and Larissa, and a shameless scene-stealer 🐾)

Teresa Palmer's narration of Larissa is the kind of performance you don't want to end — warm, textured, completely lived-in. And Zachary Webber is, as always, effortlessly excellent. These two together make this one an easy addiction.

Now — I've seen the discourse about Larissa and Chris having an "emotional affair," and I'd gently push back. Larissa's boyfriend Mike was the one constantly pulling Chris into their orbit, leaning on him in ways that blurred every boundary. And crucially, none of these three had ever really been in love before. They didn't have the framework to recognize when a friendship might be edging somewhere complicated. Context matters. The banter is gold standard!

But here's what the book is really about, underneath all of that: what actual romance looks like. Not grand gestures — being seen. Loving someone unselfishly, even when it costs you something. Jimenez pulls off something genuinely difficult here: she resolves this love story without detonating the friendships around it, and she makes you believe every step of the way that it was always going to work out exactly like this.

Also, Wooferine. I cannot stress this enough. Wooferine alone is worth the runtime.
