Say You’ll Remember Me by Katie McGarry

“When Drix was convicted of a crime--one he didn't commit--he thought his life was over. But opportunity came with the new 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.”

Once again, Katie McGarry has crafted Perfection. Drix and Elle are from opposite sides of the tracks but meet when he saves her from two harassing boys on a carnival midway. Elle is the governor's daughter and Drix is the poster child for his juvenile delinquent rehabilitation program. Thrown together during her father's run for US Senate seat, they find it impossible to stay away from each other even though Elle has been ordered by her father to keep away.

As Drix struggles to find his way back into his family, he tries to uncover who he went to jail for. Drix’s was wrongly convicted of a crime he didn't commit. Elle slowly realizes that her parents are controlling every aspect of her life. Unable to stay from one another, Elle and Drix's not only help each other but fall in love.

I really hope the author continues the characters from this series because I would love to see more of Drix’s extended family.
