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.

Review:

   Katie McGarry wrote an amazing novel about two struggling teenagers who find love with each other.

   Echo was once popular but everything changed after she was attacked by her mother. She's been struggling to remember what exactly happened to her that night. Her brother is dead and her father is too busy taking care of his new wife. Echo feels alone until she meets Noah. Noah is a foster kid who lost his family after his parents' death and the seperation between him and his two younger brothers.

   The two are completely different but yet have important things in common. The relationship between Noah and Echo was rocky at first, but once the two figured out that their lives were screwed up they form a bond. Noah is protective of Echo and makes sure nothing bad happens to her again. Echo helps Noah get himself together and teaches him thath he's able to love other people than his family. During the whole book I thought that the two of them were the perfect pair. Both were in bad situations, but they were definitely strong characters.

   This book contained some relatable issues to many teenagers and was an emotional read. I loved reading this story and I recommend it to every teenager.
