"No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal.
But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.
Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again."
Despite my plot-relishing ways I found myself enjoying the book. It wasn't magnificent, but it was definitely interesting enough to keep me reading, and was pleasantly long to boot. I thought that the gossip about Echo was totally overdone (but then again, maybe high school is actually like that for people. Most books seem pretty intent on playing it up). Personally, I don't think I'd care if some random girl started wearing long sleeves. I mean, whatever. Why should it bother me? I also did not appreciate how her mother was portrayed as a crazed, dangerous lunatic. There is no need for more people to think that people who have psychological disorders are dangerous and out to kill everyone. It's ridiculous how many people have bipolar disorder! If every one of them were that dangerous then there would be a lot more murders going on.
Let me conclude by saying that though I didn't totally fall in love with the book, and though it has some quirks, it's still a pretty good book. Not my favorite, but I wouldn't mind trying another one of her books.
