This book wasn't what I expected but it was cute and I couldn't put it down!!!
I received an Advanced Reader Copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Review, blog tour, and Giveaway can be found on *Milky Way of Books*
Katie McGarry know how to pull my heartstrings with her books! She always presents young characters at the crisp of becoming adults where all the choices are laid before them with the uncertainties that follow too.
In "Say you'll remember me" Drix a reformed criminal, even if he never committed the crime, who just wants to get as many second chances as he can get through the governor's pet project. He knows that he must be at the best of his behavior and he is truly committed to being the perfect example.
And then he meets Elle, the governor's daughter who has to deal with being the perfect example of a Governor's daughter, even if it means that she has to drown in desperation, the limelight and also pressure herself in becoming something that she is not. The two of them will form a tentative friendship which evolves into romance.
I really enjoyed how good the writing was here. Katie manages to create two characters, socially different from one another and yet they couldn't be more similar. They both struggle to become something they are not and the parallel mystery behind Drix's jail-time also offered a good pacing to the plot.
The romance was bitter-sweet and at some times heart-breaking. But they do pull through both Elle and Drix and I truly enjoyed seeing their journey towards their own HEA.

Thi is the first book I was able to finish in months. I guess only Katie could pull that stunt off.
I won't bw reciting the plot because there is a blurb just above this review, but I have to point out just how well Katie McGarry pulls off realistic(ish) YA novels - always set in Kentucky, of course.
Drix and Elle may seem like an unlikely pairing - but then again, most love interests in fiction are. What I like about them is how layered and real they are, and how I could related to one and the other in some way, even though I lead a completely different life from both.
It's a beautiful, mostly innocent love story, the likes of which you can rarely read these days. I think it may also have had something to do with my latest attempt at learning to play guitar.
I'd love to read more from these characters and all the others, so I'm totally hoping this turns into a series like all of the others I've read from Katie in past years.
