Say You'll Remember Me by Katie McGarry
4.0
Once again Katie McGarry delivers a swoon worthy YA contemporary about two teens finding themselves, battling their demons, and falling in love.
Say You’ll Remember Me was a great addition to McGarry’s backlist of emotionally fueled novels, making me laugh, cry, and generally feel all the feels. I’ve read all of Katie’s other books, and two things I’ve noticed she consistently does well are character development and pacing. Her characters are always vivid and real, dealing with actual problems that can change and shape the course of their lives. Elle and Drix are no different, both battling their pasts and present circumstances and navigating a way through the dark and into the light. The pacing of the novel is also quite nice. There is definitely insta-attraction between Elle and Drix, but the relationship gets time to develop and actually turn into something. I also really appreciated how they were able to work through their problems and struggles together, instead of enduring the middle of the book break-up trope that is so prevalent in YA literature.
Overall, this was a great read that I really enjoyed, and of course I’ll be picking up Katie’s next book as soon as it’s available!
