First off, I have to say, I stayed up last night until around 2:20 AM finishing this book...at the beginning of every chapter I would say to myself, “just ONE more chapter, then you MUST go to sleep.” Yeah, for all the good that did. I just could NOT put it down, if that tells you anything.
Secondly, I heard a lot about this book, everything I seemed to read and/or hear, was that this book was a “must read,” a great book! As such, I was a bit worried, I have read several books that I heard were “excellent” only to be a bit, if not totally disappointed. Thankfully Hush, Hush lived up to the hype with it's amazing characters as well as it's unique plot.
The book does start off rather slow, when Nora, a good girl, who always does the right thing, is paired up with Patch as her Biology partner of all things. Patch is an over confident, cocky, sorta fellow – whom you either love or love to hate! (This sorta reminded me of another love story, I LOVED, though not excessively so.)
Patch seems to be everywhere that Nora is, is he stalking her? Things keep happening to Nora, is Patch the one doing them? Or is it the “elusive” Jules or the “trying to hard” Elliot?
Nora's best friend Vee, as well as the school therapist are both telling her that Patch is the one that's bad news. Both of them telling her she needs to steer clear, that Patch has a history and it's not a good one. Of course Nora, being Nora – MUST find out for herself. In doing so, she puts herself in several situations that are not so smart. (Nora is quite book smart, but in terms of the streets, well...lets just say she's not got her head on straight!)
The story really comes into it's own towards the end...things start to come together – although there's still plenty of twists left, right up to the last page.
For her first book Becca Fitzpatrick, has written a wonderful read, with rich characters, and an ending that will keep you guessing! No matter how “slow” the beginning started the ending was worth every bit of it...(and not to say I did not like the beginning it was just not as“action” packed, and did leave me saying, what? With an intense desire to read more.)
I give Hush, Hush a 4 stars...and I can't wait to read more from Becca Fitzpatrick!
