Apparently I felt really inspired/motivated after doing last week's top Ten Tuesday post, because I started it the same day I posted my list!

I can't believe it took me so long to read it, because I really enjoyed it. I could relate to Leah in a lot of ways, especially with love of flying. Not that I love to fly, because I've never been a pilot, but you can't help but like her passion and enthusiasm for flying. We all have things we love and we all have our own dreams.

I definitely felt for her, especially with how much she's had to grow up- she really has had to fend for herself, and you can see how much flying means to her, especially with how hard she has had to work for it. I definitely got the sense that she really appreciates it because she's had to fight for it. Her relationship with Molly was interesting but frustrating. Molly is the typical rich girl, and they don't seem to communicate well...it's sort of hard to see why they're friends in the first place. Still, Molly was pretty entertaining.

And Alec and Grayson! They are very different and while they were trying at times, they do seem to be pretty good guys deep down. Something about their relationship with each other and with Leah sort of reminded me of the relationship between Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah in The Summer I Turned Pretty. The two are very different, but the relationships between the characters have a really similar feel.

I really liked Mr. Hall, and it's a shame we only see him in flashbacks, because he dies pretty early on in the book. I loved the relationship he had with Leah, and you could tell that he was a really important person in her life. I also wish we saw more of his relationships with his sons, but considering the book is more about Leah than Alec and Grayson...

Leah also had a difficult relationship with her mom- her mom is pretty much absent, and they move around a lot because Leah's mom is pretty dependent on whoever she's dating at the time. There isn't a lot of closure with their relationship, which actually worked really well. Leah's mom isn't really around anyway, so it's no surprise that there is no resolution there. And had there been some sort of closure...it definitely would have been super cliche.

I love that most of the book takes place at an airport. It's definitely unique and the focus on flying worked so well.

Final Thoughts: I am so glad I finally read Such A Rush! I loved it, and everything worked so well together. Such A Rush gets 5 stars.
