SAY YOU’LL REMEMBER ME Synopsis:
“Doesn’t matter who did it. Not anymore. I did the time. It’s over.”
When Drix was convicted of a crime–one he didn’t commit–he thought his life was over. But opportunity came with the Second Chance Program, the governor’s newest pet project to get delinquents off the streets, rehabilitated and back into society. Drix knows this is his chance to get his life back on track, even if it means being paraded in front of reporters for a while.
Elle knows she lives a life of privilege. As the governor’s daughter, she can open doors with her name alone. But the expectations and pressure to be someone she isn’t may be too much to handle. She wants to follow her own path, whatever that means.
When Drix and Elle meet, their connection is immediate, but so are their problems. Drix is not the type of boy Elle’s parents have in mind for her, and Elle is not the kind of girl who can understand Drix’s messy life.
But sometimes love can breach all barriers.
Fighting against a society that can’t imagine them together, Drix and Elle must push themselves–Drix to confront the truth of the robbery, and Elle to assert her independence–and each other to finally get what they deserve.

Holiday smacks my arm and wrath owns her eyes. “Why didn’t you talk to her?”
I glance around at my family—Axle, Holiday, my best friend, Dominic, and his younger sister, Kellen. I’m
searching for at least one of them to have my back and tell her to step off, but instead they’re curious for
the answer. Even Axle’s giving me a questioning gaze, and the last thing my womanizing brother deserves
is an explanation from me in my decisions regarding women.

Last time I was home, his reputation was as bad as Dad’s, minus the progeny. There are three siblings in
this family, and we have three different birth mothers. Dad not only didn’t know how to use a condom, but
he didn’t know how to stay true to one woman.
“I talked to her.”
My younger sister throws her arms out and drops her voice to what I’m assuming is to mimic me, but I
don’t sound like an idiot. “You’re good at this.” She resumes her normal tone which is entering
high-pitched. “Seriously? That’s all you’ve got? Did you get some sort of amoeba that eats your brain
while hanging out in juvie?”

I fold my arms over my chest and wonder if my sister can read pissed-off body language.
“You can still catch the girl and talk to her,” Holiday continues, proving she doesn’t care I’m silently
informing her to quit. “Don’t make me chase her for you because that would be embarrassing. Embarrassing
for you. Not me. I’ll have to tell her you sent me, and because you’re a wuss, I’ll have to
ask her out for you like we’re in sixth grade.”
I find myself missing the middle of nowhere. Trees, bonfires, mosquitos, mud, bears…. company that
didn’t talk.

“She’s out of my league.” I haven’t spoken truer words in months. She was beautiful. She was poised.
She was a cool breeze after a hot humid rain. She was that first ray of sunshine in the dark woods.
She was the smell of honeysuckle in bloom. She was the first damn thing that made me forget who I am and
what I’ve gotten myself into over the past year. That means she was out of my league.

Granted, she was out of my league before I was arrested. Everything from her manicured nails, to her
brand-name clothes, to her high-end purse, to the way she held herself said she was about a hundred
times higher on the social and economic spectrum than me, but the person I was before would have
made the play because I was smooth—just like my father.
“She is not out of your league.” Holiday hounds me. “She smiled at you. I know when a girl likes what she
sees, and she liked what she saw in you.”
Tension builds in my neck. Yeah, the girl smiled, but she didn’t know what she was smiling at. I’m a pretty
façade on the outside. On the inside, I’m a house of cards teetering on a bad foundation.

My Say You'll Remember Me Review . . .
It has felt like forever since I read anything by Katie McGarry, so when I saw this I jumped at the opportunity to review this book. I forgot how much I love Katie's way of writing and her world of mature YA.
This time around we have Hendrix aka Drix who was given a second chance to right a wrong. Even though the wrong wasn't his. He agreed because his world was starting to spin of control.
Elle is the daughter of the governor whom put together the program to give Drix a second chance. Elle is a girl from privilege whereas Drix is from the wrong side of the tracks. The are completely wrong from each other according to everyone else, but to them they need each other.
I loved the strength of Elle's character. Just because she's from a world of privilege doesn't mean her life is any easier. For her she's supposed to be perfect and she feels like a puppet in a life she doesn't want. For the first time when she meets Drix, she wants more and starts to question even more about her current life.
Both Elle and Drix had many bumps in the road to find their way in life. This was such a sweet story about second chances, love and family. However, not the typical family. Family doesn't have to mean blood and Drix and his family is the truth of this statement. So, when Elle needs support they engulf her into their fold of their family. This was a sweet story but be prepared for a tear or two, as there are some sad moments as well. My for no reason but out of sight out of mind hiatus from Katie McGarry is over, and I now have to catch up on all of her books that I may have missed during that time.
4 Love finds a way thumbs up!
