I think what I liked most about Crash Into You was the characters. To be honest, I was ready to dislike Isaiah, but I really fell in love with him. He is overprotective to be sure, but he’s also honest, loving, loyal, and strong. I really liked being in his head. He is a foster child and has suffered a lot in his life, but he has always strive to do what he thinks is best and to improve himself. His love and knowledge of cars is his ticket out of system.
Rachel, is a gorgeous, rich girl. She is also a lot more than that. She feels like she has to lie and pretend to fit in her family and understandably so. I felt so bad for her and so mad at her parents and even her brothers for putting so much pressure on her. Even though she thinks of herself as weak, she is not. She cannot see herself clearly, because of the way her family treats her. Her panic attacks were so painful to read, and what sucks is that she felt she couldn’t cry out and get help.
In this installment, we get to see more of Noah, Beth, Echo, Ryan and specially Logan. Rachel’s family is introduced too, which includes four gorgeous brothers. Ethan and West being my favorite. Avery is an unexpected and welcomed addition to the group and she becomes fast friends with Rachel, which she needed a lot.
The writing is, as always, so very good. I particularly love Rachel and Isaiah’s dialogue and how McGarry portrait family and friend dynamics. The story is simple and yet I found myself surprised by some of the unexpected turns. I will most definitely anxiously wait for Take Me On, the next installment in the series and West’s story.
About the cover: This is my favorite of all. It shows Isaiah and Rachel lovingly embracing each other on the back of a car.
