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.

Review

Say You'll Remember Me will suck you in from the start - a tale of opposites attract at it's base - this book is so much more. It's about growing up and finding who you are - discovering what you want and attempting to make that happen. It's about the mistakes we make, how they define us, how they change us and more importantly how we use them to learn and change. 

Hendrix has gotten a second chance, a new lease on life in a way, but he's still haunted by the past - the need to know how he landed where he did and who was behind it.  He's worried about being able to forgive that person and yet determined to know who he should be forgiving.  He's a strong character, he wants to do well and right and make something of his second chance, but it's difficult to do when others see you as less.   When he randomly enters Elle's circle - things get a little more complicated too. 

Elle has always known a life of privilige, not that she's the child of a billionaire - but she's always had what she needed and more than she could want.  But the price of that upbringing is parents who try to control every aspect of her life, parents who think they know best what she needs and wants instead of giving her a chance to explore her own interests.  When Elle meets Drix, there's an attraction, there's a wonder there - but mostly it's about something in her life that she's finally got control over - well at least until her parents get involved and then all bets are off. 

Elle and Drix both have a lot to work through as they go through their last year of "childhood", trying to figure out plans for the future, their rightful place in the world and grasp what little control they can over their selves, their time and their lives.  There are a lot of obstacles in each of their individual paths, but one thing holds true for both of them - they can't fully ignore the feelings ignited in them.  Say You'll Remember Me will take you on a ride full of ups and downs, a journey of two people trying to see if Love really can conquer it all - if life can work out even when it feels stacked up against you. 

As with all of her books, McGarry dives deep into these characters, delivering powerful moments that not only suck you deep into the pages, but real life moments that make you feel, that make you dive into the story in a closer manner - as if you are right there seeing it all play out in front of you. There's a connection to the characters, a pull that not only has you rooting for them, but also has you deep into your feels.  

This story is about second chances and what they really deliver in life, it's about discovering the truth of who you are and where you fit in. It's about finding love in unexpected ways and not knowing how to keep a hold of it or if you even can. It's about following your heart, no matter where it leads you, in all ways.
