I'll definitely remember this wonderful book!
Say you'll remember me is a captivating and well written story with real characters and real situations that come to like perfectly. I love the way McGarry writes the dialogue so real and isn't afraid to protray the grittiness of Drix and his friends and family vs Elle's word. She didn't shy away from painting a real like portrait of the two starkly different worlds. I loved Drix and his journey to be a better person, and I loved that Ellen wasn't some cliche clueless rich girl, and there was nothing cliche at all about this book, even though there were plenty of opportunities to go that route. The book was very descriptive, at times too descriptive to the point that I would often wonder if I was reading in consistencies, but nonetheless it was a great read. I cannot express enough how much I loved the realness. The thoughts that the characters would have about each other, whether innocent or naughty were so real and well put out. It was raw and gritty and I didn't expect it all. When you were in Drix's world you could FEEL the difference from the clean cut world surrounding Elle's POV. I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

When I first discovered Katie McGarry I read every book that she had written within a few months. There is no one else who writes like McGarry, who can write stories about people we typically don't see in ya, poor and marginalized. I loved this story. I was completely captivated by Drix and Elle. I can't even come up with the words to tell you just how perfect this book was. Just do yourself a favor and read it.
Oh my, god, that ending! This was such a heart-felt, beautiful book that is a unique take on the bad boy/good girl, Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lovers tale. Our Romeo, Drix, is deep down a sweet boy who fights all the odds against him at a second chance in life when he meets our Juliet Elle, a strong-willed, fiercely loving, and free-spirited girl with whom he has an instant attraction with. There are high stakes involved with them being together, including both of their future dreams becoming threatened, but down the line, they choose love, and they choose each other. There are so many moments here that had my heart melting, but one of the most memorable was when Drix was teaching Elle to play the drums. So adorable!
Man, I seriously had to fight the tears as the book raced to a rather emotionally intense, riveting ending. The characters are written beautifully, and their pain and anguish as gut wrenching as heart warming are their triumphs. A slow burn read that will linger in your brain long after it's finished.

I think the character development was minimal, and the storyline was a little bland but the writing style was pretty good.
A book that is both a romance and critical examination of our political and judicial systems. One that shows that getting into these professions with all the best intentions in the world doesn't mean you won't be complicit in contributing to an already unjust and corrupt system.
I very likeable coming-of-age novel about two people trying to find their voice in the world.
The characters were very well developed and I always enjoy a story told by our two main character´s perspectives.

I love young adult feel good books for what they are. First love, first life hardships, happy endings, teen angst, and all the other things. I laughed, got angry, and got teary eyed all through out this book.
My favorite thing about Katie’s books is her ability to writing loving characters. Yeah, the book is about Drix and Elle, but I loved everyone in this book. Elle definitely surprised me at times, Drix is that bad boy trying to do good things and being shocked by himself, and all the other characters were so well written. It makes me a little sad that this is only a one and done. I would love a series with all the other characters too.

I'd say this is pretty standard Katie McGarry. Too much drama and craziness for me to really be into, but it's not bad if that's your thing. I also think it was a lot like once of her other books (I'm not remembering which one, the one with a red car on the cover and a blonde girl?) with a wealthy girl stuck at home and a bad boy.
I liked it. There were parts I liked more than others, but it was a lot of back and forth for me that drove me slightly crazy. I needed less internal conflict to enjoy it more. I remember how much I love her stories though. It's been a LONG time since I've read one, but I always enjoy the ride. Not my favorite, but I didn't hate it. Just meh. That seems to be my journey with contemporary lately. Sadly.
The story follows a more wealthy politician's daughter and a poor teen straight out of juvie. Both of them are much deeper than they appear, and together they tackle what they don't like about their lives. They are much stronger together, and it's a cute and sweet story in the end.
