There is so much hype surrounding this book. Really, every blogger and reader I know has mentioned it at least once. I think I've only ever seen a five or four star review of this book. Maybe I saw a three once but that's about as bad as it got.

Personally, I don't know how this book didn't get top marks all around.

I loved everything about this book. Really, it all fit together nicely. From the plot to the characters, it was all seamlessly put together.

Noah and Echo were amazing. I thought that their differences was what really brought them together, even though they were similar in a lot of ways. This book was told from both Noah and Echo's POVs. I've never been a fan of alternating POVs but lately I've found that I enjoy the books with that element. It was exciting (as well as frustrating) experiencing the story from the eyes of both the main characters.

I thought the dual plot also thickened things. With Noah and his problems and Echo's with hers, I never felt like a piece of the plot dragged. If it had been only Echo's story being told, I think it wouldn't have been nearly as interesting, and same goes to if it was only told from Noah's perspective. Both are very interesting characters, yes, but their plots involved more internal struggles rather than external. Together, their plots complimented each other wonderfully.

I did think the mystery of what happened to Echo the night her whole life changed was interesting. Normally mysteries just get me frustrated and make me want to flip to the last page but I was so wrapped up in the story and learning new things with Echo and Noah that I didn't mind one bit!

Oh, and I absolutely adored Mrs. Collins. She was a great character and I felt like she added a lot to Noah and Echo's emotional health. It was interesting to watch her progress from dangerous enemy in the MC's eyes to friend and ally.

Overall, wonderful plot, beautifully built tension and mystery, and wicked characters. I look forward to reading anything else Katie McGarry publishes!
