It is SO gorgeous. <br />If I choose to read contemporary, which I don't do often, than I want my characters to be exactly how you described Leah and Grayson, flawed, but more importantly, relatable. Otherwise, what's the point. I will have to read one of Echols' books soon. <br />Amazing review, Rachel.Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-29990100182727194142012-06-18T02:46:53.267+01:002012-06-18T02:46:53.267+01:00I'm a huge fan of Jennifer Echols and this boo...I'm a huge fan of Jennifer Echols and this book - especially with that teaser - sounds fantastic!

Sounds like I need too, because I LOVE books that have great characters that are relatable in the good and bad ways. And I like this cover, and it's cool that the model (even from the side) looks older. I feel like a lot of them seem too young for their character's actual age in the novel.<br /><br />I'm intrigued.

Your review is feeding flames to the fire! I love it when you feel fiercely protective about a character because that means that the author wrote that character in a way that made it EASY to feel that way about them. I already don't like Leah's mother, but Leah is also already stealing my heart! <br /><br />And that quote? *flushes down to my toes* I think I died a little :') Beautiful review as always, Rachel! <3Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-33208167660339863942012-06-17T16:57:53.896+01:002012-06-17T16:57:53.896+01:00Fantastic review, Rachel! <3 You always know ho...Fantastic review, Rachel! <3 You always know how to put on the best quotes ever - they tease me to the point of making my hands itching to grab whatever book you're reviewing! x) I hear amazing things about this book, so I can't wait to grab this book when it comes out!

I can already sympathize with Leah. And I wonder why Grayson would force her to date Alec?! The airport setting sounds so great, just like the setting was unique and amazing in Going Too Far as well. Jennifer Echols is amazing and that cover is pretty awesome as well. Great review, Rachel. So glad you loved it :)Pooja.

This is one big question in my mind. Can't wait to find out the answer. Wonderful review!

And OMG I fell so hard for Grayson too! Loved him, and I especially loved how he's such a bad boy but is also really sweet and cares for Leah. Leah was such a kick-ass heroine, no?? She is probably one of my favourite heroines ever. But I hated her mom! -.- Ugh and her stupid best friend too. Great review, Rachel!! This is definitely one of my favourite books of 2012 so far!

Going Too Far and Forget You were my favorite books as well and now that you've compared Such A Rush to them, I have no doubt I'll enjoy this one. :)<br />Plus, that quote had me majorly swooning. :)<br />I love flawed characters so much and Leah seems exactly that. :)<br />Oh and her mother seems like a horrid role model. I must be mentally prepared to hate on her when I get to read the book next month. :P<br />Grayson seems like a jerk, but I'm glad that it gets easier to like him once his past is unraveled.<br />I loved the review, Rachel.
