I really enjoyed this YA book. I like how it switched off between Echo's point of view and Noah's point of view. There was a bit of "instant love" but in this case, it was handled very well. I enjoyed how you slowly got to know the characters and what their story was...why they were so messed up. I also liked how they made each other better people.

I may be biased because I knew teens like these two whilst growing up in the punk/goth scene but I really liked that it showed that "messed up kids" can be great people too. The way the social structure of the school was depicted was also very close to reality. There is so much pressure not to be "weird" in high school. This book captured that well and showed what it was like if you slipped into the zone of "weird".

I loved the love story in the book because it struck me as realistic. Two people who do not trust slowly approach trusting one another with a lot of mix-ups and misunderstandings. Echo and Noah had many of these. The way they interacted and the intensity of their attraction to one another also rings true because when you don't trust easily, when you do grow attached to someone, it hits you like a freight train and scares the crap out of you. So, well done there.

Definitely a good book and i am curious about Beth's story now because she comes off as such a hard character in this book. I may have to read the next to see what her deal is.
