Thank you Bookish First, publisher Tor Teen and author Katie McGarry for an Advanced Reader Copy of Echoes Between Us, in exchange for my honest review.
Veronica
-knows that people think she's weird
-lives life on her own terms
-has the best friends she could ask for
-haunted by her dead mother
-has a secret she's keeping all to herself, until she can't anymore
Sawyer
-considered popular
-great at swimming, school not so much
-took on the responsibility of "man of the house"
-carries the weight of a secret he can't tell anyone, not even his best friends.
This book surprised me! It was more than I thought it would be. This book could have easily broken my heart. Katie McGarry had me so wrapped up in the casual love thing between Veronica and Sawyer, I almost forgot that they were not supposed to fall in love. The chemistry between the two characters was perfect. I feel Veronica and Sawyer were meant to be together. The ending...oh my god it could have gone so many different ways . I'm glad it ended the way it did. It's been a while since I've cried so hard reading the ending of a book.
I loved it, I loved it so much! Veronica has some amazing friends, the best support system. They are there for her when she needs them most. I think we all want someone to be there for us like that, unconditionally. I love the way V lives. I love the way she's not afraid to be herself. Veronica lives by her own rules. I want to live like her. I have too many thoughts about Sawyer. He is just so much more than he knows. I was rooting for him to handle his demons on top of everything else. He took care of everything surprisingly well. Only being 17, both Veronica and Sawyer handle what's thrown their way surprisingly well. I couldn't imagine going through what they do.
My favorite thing about this book was the Playlist! I think every book needs it's own playlist. Katie McGarry left us with a list of songs relating to the Theme, Veronica, Sawyer, and Veronica and Sawyer's Future [link to playlist below].
