Summary:
The book is told in the POV of both characters, so I guess I should tell the summary based by both characters.
Echo:
Echo was miss popularity, until she woke up in the hospital with scars all over her arms. When she heads back to school, no one wants to know her. They all believe that she was a cutter. Her father is in love with her old babysitter and the two of them are having a baby. There is a lot of change going on in her life right now and she really needs some support. Her counselor works with her to regain her memory and move forward. Inadvertently, her counselor also introduces her to Noah.
Noah:
Noah is Mr. bad boy. He is kind of a jerk, but he has good reasons for his attitude. He's a stoner with a heart of gold. Regardless, he is the bad boy throughout the entire book.

The two meet as they are both about to partake in a B&E to grab their files. It's not a love at first sight sort of thing, but slowly their relationship develops. Noah is not afraid of Echo's scars which is a comfort to her. She provides some strength for him. All together they make an ADORABLE (going to hug the book tight now) couple.

My thoughts:
Honestly, I didn't think this was going to be as tough of a book to read subject wise. I thought it would be another cute teen romance novel. It's not. The characters are gritty with so many troubles to work through. McGarry is the real gem. Not only does she make the reader feel like they know the characters and situations, regardless of having any experience in those situations, she also places the reader within the story. You are not observing overhead, but living in the moment with the characters. This is an author to watch and wait for.
