I was a bit hesitant to pick up this book because it just sounded too similar to [b:Perfect Chemistry|4268157|Perfect Chemistry (Perfect Chemistry, #1)|Simone Elkeles|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1316637352s/4268157.jpg|4315675] based on the synopsis.
It is similar but their are so many differences that make up for it. The character development, plot development, and relationship development was amazing and much more deep than in Perfect Chemistry.
Echo is described as the pretty, rich girl that was once popular. Now people consider her as a freak because of the scars on her arms. She has repressed the memories of the night she was almost killed and is trying to remember what happened so she can finally know the truth. She is also depressed because her brother, Aires, died and she can't fill the hole in her heart from losing him.
Noah is the bad boy with a bad reputation. Only he isn't all that bad. Yeah he has tattoos and does drugs and drinks, but he surprisingly has a big heart. He lost his parents and was placed in foster care, forced to be separated from his two younger brothers. His main goal is to win custody of them and get his family back.
And then there's Mrs. Collins, Echo and Noah's school therapist. She is so crazy and really cares about them. She is the only adult that these two characters trust to help them out.
Now Echo and Noah's relationship, the main story line in this book. Like I said their relationship develops so much! They start out loathing each other, then become friends to help each other out, and then they fall in love. Their relationship does have ups and downs but ahhh it is so adorably cute!!! Seriously Noah has to be one of my favorite book boyfriends of all time. He is just so dreamy!
I also have to add how emotional this book is. Echo and Noah have been through very traumatizing events and everything else they go through just makes you want to laugh and cry from happiness and sadness.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes YA contemporary romance novels. I loved this book and it grabs your attention from the very first page!
