Summary from Goodreads:

A summer road trip changes everything in this unforgettable new tale from acclaimed author Katie McGarry.

For new high school graduate Echo Emerson, a summer road trip out west with her boyfriend means getting away and forgetting what makes her so... different. It means seeing cool sights while selling her art at galleries along the way. And most of all, it means almost three months alone with Noah Hutchins, the hot, smart, soul-battered guy who’s never judged her. Echo and Noah share everything — except the one thing Echo’s just not ready for.

But when the source of Echo’s constant nightmares comes back into her life, she has to make some tough decisions about what she really wants — even as foster kid Noah’s search for his last remaining relatives forces them both to confront some serious truths about life, love, and themselves.

Now, with one week left before college orientation, jobs and real life, Echo must decide if Noah's more than the bad-boy fling everyone warned her he'd be. And the last leg of an amazing road trip will turn... seriously epic.

Excerpt From Noah’s Point of View

“Me and you,” I whisper, hoping my words will sink into her subconscious, beyond where she overthinks. “It’s how it’s supposed to be.”

Echo’s hand glides over mine, and she links our fingers together. “You like disturbing my sleep, don’t you?”

I kiss her shoulder, permitting my lips to linger on her soft skin. Guess I did wake her. “Just keeping things straight between us.”

“In my sleep?” Damn, I love that groggy voice.

“You argue less that way.”

Book Covers: UK vs US

So this is going to be a monthly series from me. Every month I will show you three different books with the UK and US Covers. All you have to do is decide which one you like more, of course, I will have my own opinion. But there is no right or wrong answer. And as I am from the UK myself, the UK covers will be shown on the left and the US covers on the right.

 
 






















In my opinion the UK covers are better. The US ones are very cliché; the perfect people. But what I also dislike about the US covers are that it shows you what the characters look like which you may disagree with and think the models do not suit the characters. Whereas the UK cover is simple but eye-catching at the same time. The yellow/green really stands out.




The UK cover is okay I guess, but the only thing I really hate about it is that the male model is the guy who is on the cover of the Lux Series by Jennifer Armentrout. Also the bright light blue font is really hideous. It could be a bit darker. The US cover is okay as well. I'm not in love with it, but out of the both the US cover wins hands down. It has a bit more to it then the UK cover.

The clear winner is the UK cover. It's so much nicer than the US edition and it also stands out and shows the storyline a bit more. What really stands out to me is the eye colour and the typography. It really adds a great amount of depth to the story. As for the US cover, I like it but I feel like it's too busy with the typography.



So these are the three books I picked. What did you think? Do you agree or disagree with me? Then tell me why.
