Although I’ve read some excellent books this year, I have to admit that this one stands out. It is a heartwarming tale of a girl and a boy whose lives are anything from normal but who only want things to be the same. Echo wants to recall what transpired the night her mother attempted to kill her, and Noah wants to know the names and addresses of his siblings’ foster parents. However, they can only find out what is in their files if they are aware of what is there. They decide how they will obtain those files together.
While all of this is going on, Echo is teaching Noah, and Isaiah, Noah’s best friend, is repairing Aries’s car since they are consuming so much time together that they are unable to conceal their developing feelings for one another. This book is about much more than just growing up, including loss, friendship, and love above all else.

For people like me and Echo, our souls contained more scar tissue than life.”

“Luke used to give me butterflies. Noah spawned mutant pterodactyls.”
“Because growing up means making tough choices, and doing the right thing doesn’t necessarily mean doing the thing that feels good.”
