The Night We Met

Get ready to fall in love and have your heart shattered—all at the same time! The queen of modern romance, Abby Jimenez, is back with a story that explores the “what ifs” that haunt us and the cosmic timing that defines our lives.

What is the Story?

The Night We Met follows the lives of two people who are clearly meant to be, but the universe seems determined to keep them apart. When they first meet, the spark is undeniable—the kind of soul-deep connection that only happens once in a lifetime. But there’s a catch: they are both with other people.

Spanning over a decade, the narrative tracks their lives through missed connections, bittersweet reunions, and the complicated reality of loving someone you can’t have. It’s a story about the people we become while we’re waiting for the person we love, and the difficult choices we make when “doing the right thing” feels like breaking your own heart.

From the humor of awkward first encounters to the heavy silence of words left unsaid, Jimenez captures the beautiful, messy, and often painful journey of two souls circling one another in a crowded world.

* The “Slowest” Burn: If you love yearning, this is your holy grail. The tension between the leads is electric, built on years of friendship and shared history.
* Emotional Depth: Jimenez doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff. Expect to navigate themes of grief, loyalty, and the moral gray areas of the heart.
* Signature Wit: Despite the tears (and there will be tears), the dialogue is sharp, funny, and incredibly relatable, making the characters feel like your real-life best friends.
