Say You'll Remember Me
by Katie McGarry
I’ve recently discovered my love for audiobooks, so when I found Say You’ll Remember Me on Scribd, I started listening right away. It was pretty easy to get invested in the story of Elle and Drix. Two people that are dealing with heavy expectations from others, never truly able to fulfil their wishes of being the people that they want to be.
Elle is the governor's daughter, and that comes with responsibilities. She is always forced to put the needs of others before her own. Her parents expect a lot from her, and the days she wishes to follow her own path, she gets in trouble for not following orders.
Drix, on the other hand, is an ex-convict, committed for a crime he didn’t commit. He faces the challenge of proving to the world that he is a changed man. As the voice of a new program, designed to help convicted teens to reform to society’s standards, he is under a lot of pressure. When Drix and Elle meet, sparks fly, but the pressure of pleasing the people around them threatens to destroy everything they’ve been working towards, including their new kindling romance.
Elle and Drix are so relatable. They always do what others want of them, but never follow their own dreams. My heart ached for them. I rooted for their troubles to end, hoping that their lives would be everything they wanted. But nothing is ever that simple. This is such an intense story. So many risks, so many things at stake. Their attraction to one another seemed impossible at times. I love their characters so much.
It made my stomach turn, how Elle’s parents seemed so convinced that they knew what was best for their daughter. Never taking into account what Elle actually wanted. They were stubborn, and always looking out for their own political views. Elle was always on the back burner, and that made me so mad. There were characters in this book that I wanted to shake some sense into, while others that I wanted to hold and tell them that everything would be okay.
Katie McGarry always gets me so invested in her characters. If I’m looking for a book to get attached too, I always no which author to turn too, and that’s Katie. She has a way of making her characters so strong and vulnerable at the same time. I honestly don’t know how she does it. It takes quite a bit for me to become attached to characters, but I’ve never read a book from this author, where I wasn’t one hundred percent invested. Katie is a master storyteller, my favourite contemporary author and I will always hold her stories close to my heart.
I’m giving this book 4 stars because it was an incredible story that constantly pulled at my heartstrings, it is not my favourite book that she has written. I highly recommend you check out Katie McGarry’s stories if you haven’t yet. Her writing is incredible, and I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
