No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with freaky scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal.
But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.
Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

River Song is here to help warn you for spoilers. Listen to her.
I didn't know if I would like this book or not. I haven't really read a lot of New Adult/ Realistic Fiction so I was "Ok, I'll give it a try what do I have to lose." .
Like usual I am wrong about my judging of books. I love a good love story,but it can't be just about them couple. This story is a about a couple of course,but it is also about family.
Echo Emerson has a hard couple of years. Between her brother dying and her crazy mother trying to kill her I think I would react the same way she did. She drops out the last month of her sophmore year of high school and pretty much becomes introvert. She had a boyfriend and popular friends,but she pretty much lost all of them except for her friend Lila or "Glenda the Good Witch". Four months till graduation her new therapist gives her tutoring job to help her pay rebuild her brother's car. Echo meets Noah Hutchins in the library and realizes that he is the one that made fun of her name the day before. Before they get the chance to do anything Noah leaves. As Echo follows she slips and falls and her sleeves slid up and show her badly scarred up arms. Noah and Echo make a deal to continue the tutoring lessons and they soon fall in love.

Noah Hutchins is a weed smokin', don't care what you think of me kind of person. Noah's parents died in a house fire two years before and was thrown into foster care and was separted from his little brothers Tyler and Jacob. Noah has been moved from several different homes.
He was kicked out of his first foster home for hitting his foster father. He had a very good reason though. The man was beating his kid and Noah was tired of it. You can see from this what kind of person Noah is. Because of this he has lost his unsupervised vists with his eight and four year old little brothers.
Since he is only four months from graduating he tries to find out how to get custody of his brothers. The only way he can do that is top act like good student and take tutoring lessons. After he meets Echo and gets to know her he falls for her..... hard.
This is one of the best romance stories I have read in a while. They fall in love after a reasonable amount of time and they aren't like "I WILL DIE IF I DON'T SEE HER/HIM EVERY TWO HOURS!!". That drives me crazy.
Yes, they are lovey dovey,but it is ok. If Noah was my boyfriend I would probably be lovey dovey too. At the beginning of the story he smokes weed,but in the middle of the book Echo tells him he probably shouldn't be doing that if he wants his brothers he should probably stop. Overall, I think Noah is a good boyfriend and doesn't pressure Echo into anything that she doesn't want to do and he treats her like a queen. He he is one of the few guys that could call me baby and get away with it.
Echo is a good girlfriend. She tries to help him and just loves him. Everybody needs someone to love them whether it is family,friends, or a boyfriend/ girlfriend.
This story is defiantly not for younger teens. It was a little much for me. It had a LOT of cursing. I usually give it a lower rating when it has a lot of cursing which is why I am rating it.
