Say You'll Remember Me
by Katie McGarry
In between reading Katie McGarry novels, I tend to forget the emotional impact they always have on me--Say You'll Remember Me was no exception. At one point I actually sobbed--not quite [b:The Boy in the Striped Pajamas|39999|The Boy in the Striped Pajamas|John Boyne|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1366228171s/39999.jpg|1148702]-level of sobbing (OMG, that ending), but sobbing nonetheless.
I loved Drix and Elle's story. Besides being one heck of an emotional read, it really made me think about so many topics that seem more relevant today than ever--our legal and prison systems, class and income differences, the media, and the motivations and ultimate goals of our politicians. Obviously this is a fictional story, but Ms. McGarry's writing not only made her characters feel real, it immerses her readers into a world that feels absolutely true to life.
After finishing this one I just wanted to sit quietly for a bit and think, still wrapped up in the world of the characters Ms. MsGarry created here. Sadly, life has other ideas--no worries, though, because this is definitely one that will go on my keeper shelf and that I'll be bringing out again...and again.
Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A
