Reminders of You
by Calliope Casimiro Author
On his twenty-fifth birthday, Sam Aitkens finally opens the one gift he never expected from the year before—and the one thing he’s spent all year trying to forget: a journal Catarina Bonita left behind.
She was the love of his life. Brilliant. Reckless. Unforgettable. Their story began in 1994, when Catarina fled the pressures of Hollywood for a quiet summer in London—and collided with Sam in a way that would change them both forever. What followed was a love that burned fast and deep, stretching across cities, years, and the fragile space between who they were and who they were becoming.
But love like theirs doesn’t come without a cost. Now, as Sam turns the pages Catarina wrote, the past unravels in ways he never saw coming. Memories shift. Truths surface. And the ending he’s carried for years begins to feel like a lie. Because maybe she didn’t leave him. Maybe he never really lost her.
Told across dual timelines, Reminders of You is a sweeping, emotionally charged romance about first love, heartbreak, and the haunting power of memory. Perfect for readers of One Day and The Light We Lost, this is a story that lingers long after the final page—and asks the question:
What if the love you thought was over… was only waiting to be remembered?

What About Us?
Catarina, Liam, and the Other Side of the Story
Every love story has two sides. This is the one she never told.
Catarina Bonita thought she had made peace with the past.
Sam Aitkens was the love of her life—intense, reckless, unforgettable. The kind of love that changes you… and leaves you with pieces you never quite get back. When it ended, she did what she had to do to survive: she closed the door, locked the memories away, and chose a different future. One with Liam DiAngelo. Safe. Steady. Certain. At least, that’s what she tells herself. But the past doesn’t stay buried forever.
Told across multiple timelines and perspectives, What About Us? pulls back the curtain on everything Reminders of You left unsaid. Through Catarina’s eyes, the truth begins to take shape—the choices she made, the secrets she kept, and the heartbreak she carried alone. Through Liam’s, we see a love built on devotion, sacrifice, and the quiet fear of never being enough. And through Sam’s, we witness the painful, determined steps of a man trying to become worthy of the woman he never stopped loving.
Because the story didn’t end the way anyone thought it did. It fractured. It shifted. It waited.
And now, as past and present collide in the days leading up to a single phone call that could change everything, one question remains:
Was it ever really over…or were they always finding their way back to each other?
Perfect for readers who believe love isn’t simple—and that the greatest stories are the ones that refuse to stay in the past—What About Us? is a sweeping, emotionally layered romance about truth, timing, and the kind of love that demands to be felt… no matter the cost.
