Say You'll Remember Me
by Katie McGarry
After reading and loving Katie McGarry’s Pushing the Limits, I knew I had to read Say You’ll Remember Me!! I mean just look at that cover. I love the deep purple and magenta colors but also the font of the title. The cover works really well with the story. I didn’t realize it until now when I read it a second time. Say You’ll Remember Me is realistic, heartfelt, funny, honest, and inspiring. This is a story that will move you emotionally and will stay with long after you’ve finished reading it.
My favorite aspect of Say You’ll Remember Me are the characters!! Especially the main characters, Hendrix “Drix” Pierce and Ellison “Elle” Monroe. They are great when they’re apart but these two are fireworks when they are together!! They come from completely different backgrounds but can relate to each other on a deeper level. This made the story feel like a forbidden romance in a Contemporary book, which I liked. Hendrix Pierce looks like a bad boy but he’s actually a soft boy who loves his family and music. He’s made mistakes but he’s character development in the book was so sincere and profound. Elle’s character development was something that I wasn’t expecting until some shocking events that happened. She’s feisty, intelligent, passionate, and caring. This novel deals with a specific issue in society and shows how important it is for young people to use their voice. To stand up for who/what they believe in and truly make a change in the world. Katie wrote this aspect really well in the story!! Something else I enjoyed was the strong relationships that Drix, Axle, Marcus, Dominic, Holiday, and Kellen have together. It’s a family that was created by choice, not because all them are related by blood. They are a family because they love, care, and support each other. It was so sweet, powerful, and endearing! Everyone deserves to experience having such loyal friends/family. I loved how the dog entered the book. Thor is such a cute name for a dog. I love dogs so books that have pets in the story are great. All of these characters are heartbreakingly amazing and I felt like I was physically there with them or know them personally.
I need to mention the power of music in Say You’ll Remember Me!! Music plays a part in this book because the characters are talented musicians. I’ve always enjoyed reading about characters who have artistic and creative hobbies. I love listening to music while I read and associating songs which certain characters/books. Also, Katie McGarry makes playlists for her books. I have made playlists for my favorite books and it’s awesome to see authors do it too!! Say You’ll Remember Me is such a beautifully written novel. While I was I reading, I found myself thinking “wow, that’s a great quote!” multiple times. That’s how good of a writer Katie McGarry is!! I can see the improvement of Katie’s writing between Pushing the Limits and Say You’ll Remember Me. This book is definitely become a favorite of mine and worth reading. If you looking for an authentic and genuine YA Contemporary Romance, I highly recommend Say You’ll Remember Me!!
