Say You'll Remember Me
by Katie McGarry
To be frank, I loved it so much I think I might be slightly biased. I love Katie McGarry's books to begin with. Her real life views of the dichotomies between the rich and poor. The two sides of the tracks.
I identified with Elle so much more than I had with Echo, or Beth or Rachel. Or really any of her other characters. Elle had this immense pressure on her and it definitely spoke to me about so much. Drix being a family man through and through also touched me in ways that Noah and Isaiah didn't. That's not to say that I didn't understand them, but it felt as though Katie put, maybe more heart and soul into this one than any other book she has written. I loved it.
I can't speak enough for it. And the unexpected characters that you fall in love with on the way will have you crying by the end. The issues that Katie touched on in this book is also something to keep our eyes on.
The school to prison pipeline is real. It does exist and some people will get so fixated on the past of someone that they won't take into account the present or their future. This issue is touchy as anything involving money can be. But Katie does a fantastic job of giving readers a glimpse into that world. Into both worlds.
I needed tissues by the end.
I recommend it to literally everyone. There is just enough of a little bit of everything for everyone.
