Remember Me

"Remember Me is a hauntingly beautiful debut... capturing the collision of privilege and displacement, and asking what we risk-and who we become-when love dares us to remember what survival alone would rather forget."

-NewInBooks

Gabriel crossed a continent to silence his ghosts. In Bogotá, he found that the only way to survive the ruins of his own life was to stand witness for a man fighting to rebuild his.

In Bogotá, Gabriel seeks sanctuary in the curated world of Diego, a wealthy pilot who offers a fortress of glass-safe, sterile, and far removed from the chaos of the streets. But the numbness he craves is shattered the moment he steps into a crowded plaza and locks eyes with Mateo: a man with a smile that defies his circumstances.

A Venezuelan refugee surviving on the margins, Mateo is everything Diego is not: raw, scarred, and dangerously alive. He carries his trauma on his skin, a mirror to Gabriel's own fractured soul. What begins as a chance meeting between two men ignites into a forbidden romance that defies the boundaries of class and borders.

Para días grises, paraguas de colores. For gray days, colorful umbrellas.

But love is a liability under the weight of a humanitarian crisis. As Mateo's safety hangs by a thread, Gabriel must make an impossible choice: retreat to his glass tower and survive, or risk everything for a man who might already be a ghost.

Visceral and devastatingly romantic, Remember Me is a searing debut that explores the enduring resilience of the human spirit-who we become when the world tries to erase us-and what we are willing to lose to ensure we are not forgotten.
