Blurb: 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.

Favourite Character: Noah

Comments: I liked this book. It was good enough for me want to read the sequels but I didn't feel it got interesting until about halfway through. It didn't catch my attention right away which is always a turn-off but I did end up liking it.

Noah and Echo's story is compelling to read. You want to dig deeper and figure out what had happened to them both. They both had unique pasts which was refreshing. I read a lot of contemporary teen romance novels and they all seem to be very similar. This isn't necessarily a terrible thing but it tends to get boring.

Echo seemed like almost a flat character to me throughout the story. Like I said I read a lot of teen romance novels and all the girls and guys tend to blend together because they are so similar. Echo personality wise, was nothing that I haven't read before. Having said that, I still liked and her little quirks. The same goes for Noah but don't we all love the hot guy anyways?

Anyone who liked Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles will love this! I loved the Perfect Chemistry series and this was recommended to me because I read it. I definitely recommend that anyone who's a fan of that series read this. I'm sure you'll love it.

I'm looking forward to reading the next book because it's about Beth and from the little snippets I got, I already love her. Can't wait!
