Description:
Buh boom, buh boom.
My heart thrusts with a force that takes me by surprise. Telling me something I don’t understand. A splitting pain, a longing to slip back under. They tell me I was in a hit-and-run, but I can’t remember what happened that night. All I know is that I woke up with pictures in my pocket, a card from one of those photo booths in the mall. And I’m in the pictures. Cody Rush. Me and…
Julianna.
Her brother was there that night, and my dad, the FBI agent, was the one who put her mom behind bars. What’s the connection? And why won’t Julianna talk to me now? Somehow, she holds the key to it all, and getting close–real close—to her for the answers I need will be no hardship at all…
Review:
This book had me from the prologue, in the photo booth. I love photo booths, and their one minute
experience hooked me in completely. I
couldn’t put the book down at all because I was engrossed in what was
happening. Laura Johnston did a really
great job with this book and I’m definitely intrigued about any other books she
might have now because of this.
We meet Cody first, he just moved to a new location and is
trying to make friends with the other basketball players, but he definitely
picked the wrong one, Vic. Vic is
Julianna’s brother and he’s trouble with a capital T, of course Cody doesn’t
know this until it’s too late. The way
they officially meet, Cody and Julianna, is super adorable with the photo booth
and the chocolates, but the circumstances on Cody’s side is quite an adventure
he didn’t want to have. Running from
something bad and then getting into an accident that makes him lose his memory
and the fun begins.
Cody is desperate to find out what really happened to him
the day he broke his leg and he feels as if Julianna is the key. She is
definitely spunky and tries to lay low from everyone, dealing with her family
is not the easiest thing as you’ll see reading throughout the book. But Cody has dimples that you just can’t turn
away. I can only image, sigh. Anyway so he devises a plan to get to know her
better to see if he can figure out exactly what happened to him. Of course this definitely takes time, and the
more time they spend together the more they feel for one another. It’s all very sweet, their relationship. You just want to push them together like a
magnet.
Cody’s memory comes back in bits in pieces along with old
memories he thought he long suppressed about his brother. So sad, this brother’s story but things
happen that are out of your control. It’s
hard losing anyone. The loss of people
in both their lives Cody and Julianna definitely affect the way they are living
their lives as well as what they plan to do for the future. This story was just totally fabulous, I know
that sounds stupid and childish but I really enjoyed this book so much that I really
couldn’t put it down and read it that quickly.
I think this is something you should pick up as it has a little love,
friendship, mean girls, death, police drama, friend drama and just a little bit
of everything to keep you hooked from beginning to end.
I think the cover is also adorable and I can completely
picture the main characters as the two on the cover, sometimes that’s hard but
they described them so much in the book that it’s a good depiction of them that
too is rare. Can’t wait to read another
book by this author and you should definitely pick this up as soon as it comes
out! Great easy quick read with a lot of
attention grabbing scenes.
