Ugh! Lucy was so annoying!! I enjoyed the storyline, but couldn't stand her!! Hopefully the other two books mature her.

Speechless, I have for some odd reason been pushing this book back and I am sooo mad at myself for it. First of all Jude is just wow. He really is a tortured soul, and he really does some stupid things but I guess when you see it from his perspective it makes sense as to why he did it (not that it was okay, but why. Luce, she is a strong character, but she also is young and I know a lot of people complained about her actions (I got annoyed with her at times) but I again she was in high school and has all the issues a young girl who is transition into a women will have. I loved loved loved Luce and Jude together they brought out a special quality in eachother. I must go back to Jude wow he was just so darn cute and angry and had a temper like no one business (which by the way I thought was hilarious when his temper would stick it's ugly head out). I am going to read the next series like now because I am dying for some more Jude and Luce!!!

Lucy lost someone close to her and her family has been trying to move forward but clearly,that's not happening.Lucy's dad is just a shell of the person he used to be and her mom hides behind her work and a cold new personality.Jude is the bad boy who hooks up with every single girl and who grew up with shitty parents who aren't in the picture anymore.So he lives in a boys home and is everything your mother warned you about.But Lucy doesn't seem to care.She doesn't care that Jude means trouble.So they fall for each other.And in the end,when the truth is revealed,when they discover that their families were connected somehow what will they do?
I've been meaning to start this one for a while but,I was always reading something else but...I finally decided to sit down and read it!And when I started reading it,I had this feeling that I knew the story and the characters,and then I knew what would happen and I realized that I read this book before.And yes,I read half of it before that's why it was familiar.I don't know how that's possible but I think I had it as an e-book and I lost all my files and I forgot about it.But anyway...
I really loved the author's writing and Crash was such and easy read which I really enjoyed.The characters were pretty good and I think the author did a great job of describing them and the different situations they were in.That twist in the end was a bit shocking and my mind didn't even go there.I think it was something you couldn't predict at all.So nobody can say that the story was predictable when it came to that part.I think this is the perfect book to just relax you.I had a fun time getting to know the characters and following their story.And yes I love Jude.Who doesn't love bad boys?And Lucy was a great character as well.Even though some people weren't impressed with her personality and behavior I found her to be okay.
But we have to just take a moment and admit that the characters fell for each other at first sight.Love at first sight.Just saying.Like...from the first two chapters it was obvious that they would eventually end up together.And sometimes,things got out of hand if you know what I mean.Like the fact that she trusted Jude and his motives and she didn't even question him when it came to his criminal side and then three of his friends try to burn her and they just get away,the whole incident forgotten.And then comes her relationship with Sawyer who I really didn't like from the beginning.I also wanted to learn a bit more about their pasts.I think the author didn't focus enough on that part and I would've really appreciated it if she gave us something more.And please forgive me if I'm not making any sense right now because I really don't know what to think.
I wasn't sure about the rating though so,it's between 3.5 and 4 stars.And I wasn't really sure what to write in this review either.So...I might change my mind because I really don't know what to think about it.For me,it was great.Not good or amazing,just somewhere in the middle.That basically sums it all up.I really really liked this book and even though I can't really say it's one of my favorites,I would recommend it and I will pick up the next books because I'm really curious to see where this thing between them will go.And again...sorry if I'm not making any sense.

Wow! Just wow !! Oh god !! This book was such a roller coaster read! And I completely loved it!!
Jude Ryder.. *sigh* I want him! He's that screwed up guy with the dodgy past that has trouble tattooed on his forehead and stay away screaming from his eyes.. But damn ... you can't help but love him !! He was incredibly sweet and protective (I'm a sucker for those) and the whole relationship reminded me a little of [b:Beautiful Disaster|11505797|Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1)|Jamie McGuire|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1358259032s/11505797.jpg|16441531] so how can you not love it ?!
It had me smiling, laughing, and falling off the edge of my seat it was so good! It had the perfect amount of everything and the twist... Well I didn't really see it coming, so kudos to you [a:Nicole Williams|4887264|Nicole Williams|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1351095996p2/4887264.jpg] for that !!
I actually liked Lucy, and understood her opinions and emotions and I would've probably done the same stuff and made the same mistakes.
It was an amazing read, and a solid 4.5 stars... Only thing I want is Jude's POV!

Lucy Larson's life has turned completely upside-down. Her father is a space case, her mother is an ice queen, and her brother is noticeably absent. After moving from her affluent community to her summer vacation house, Lucy must learn to cope with her new life. Jude, is a boy with a troubled past, who Lucy can't seem to stay away from. Is it possible for them to both overcome their pasts to allow for a promising future.
This book was okay, the characters seem to fight more than they get along. I don't get their connection, but it was an okay book.

4 star plot that really kept me engaged. But objectively, this is a horrible relationship that in another context would be shown as abusive. This book reminds me of Beautiful Disaster, but I do not remember that main character being quite as prone to fits of rage, jealousy and violence outside of a fighting ring.
