Say You'll Remember Me by Katie McGarry
3.0
I found this book kind of frustrating. I liked Hendrix and I like Ellis as characters. Their backstories were unique enough and strong enough to hold my attention throughout the book.
Hendrix(Drix) is just released from the second chance program, a youth program for first time offenders meant to address the school-to-prison pipeline. He has a pretty interesting family and he trying to make the best of a rough situation, which includes being the governor's spokesperson for the program at press junkets and fundraisers.
Ellison is the daughter of the governor of Kentucky, and feels trapped by the expectations that her parents put on her to be the picture of perfection. What she really wants is to be a tech geek who writes code and be her own person.
What I found irritating about this book is that Drix is muscly, dark, broody, and handsome, while Elle is skinny, blonde, blue eyed. Jeez. Could we get more predictable. I know this is published by Harlequin, but come on! I also found myself rolling my eyes and sighing when they overflow with their love for each other. A lot of their exclamations of love for one another is cliche and overly dramatic. At one point Elle even uses the hackneyed old phrase, "eyes are the window to soul." Ugh, really? She calls Drix magical about a billion times throughout their short love affair. He calls Elle perfect just as many. Barf.
If you like romance stories that are an easy read, then this is the book for you. However, if you're looking for something a bit more complicated and unique, you should go read I'll Give You the Sun.
