I liked this book. I thought it was very well written, and normally I don't like the change in perspectives from chapter to chapter but it gave it a fresh look and there were times were I couldn't wait to get to the next chapter and find out what the other was thinking. (Sometimes you wish you had that in your own relationships!)

I wasn't a huge fan of Echo in the beginning because I felt she was too easily pressured into doing what the popular kids wanted but I was more pleased with her in the end. She walked a long and hard journey and she came out the better for it.

The issue's the high school students faced are realistic and plague our schools every day. I'm glad Echo didn't cave in to the pressures the guys were putting on her. As much as I like reading YA books, as a teacher it grosses me out that high school students have sex (shudders in revulsion.)

The only thing I wish I could change is the title and cover of the book. It makes it seems as if Echo's sole problem is how far to go with Noah (which is my favorite name by the way) when it was really a lot more than that. I wish it could be changed to "A New Norma" or "Returning to Normal" something with a normal theme because that was what Echo and Noah longed to return to. And I wish the book cover could be changed to a series of constellations or a painting, something that adds a little more substance than two kids in the thralls of an embrace. The book was a lot more than kid romance, it was a story of pain, betrayal, strength, and overcoming one's fears.

It was a great story that I would suggest for those who like a good YA dramatic romance.
