3.5 
 I want to start by saying Jennifer Echols is one of my all time favorite authors and I was ubberly excited to get this book, and I have Such a Rush on pre-order. 
 Gemma is the shadow in the friendship, and in life as she still thinks she is that insecure girl before she lost the 58lbs. Her friend Addison always got the attention, the friends, pretty much everything under the sun. Gemma is the quirky person with purple streaks in her hair which was different then all of the rest of the batton twirlers. One day at camp she sees this guy at camp, was he looking at her or was he looking at Addison. In this Echols book it is a tale of love, loyality, and understanding who you are. 
 The book was just like all of the other Echols books that I read (4), short, fun, and quirky. For me one of the reasons I love her books is because how real her characters are, they are funny, and as I said before realistic. Oh Carter and Addison drove me crazy in this book! I know people like Addison and they just irk me. Addison really bothered me through the whole book *(and I just started to a new job where I am in guest relations so I have people coming to me so it might be a bad combination of the two...)* Gemma though was a like-able character and a strong person for the readers. I did get a little uncomfortable with the talk of eating disorders, but again that might be because I have a close friend of mine who has been battling an eating disorder for a couple of years now. Max was another sweet guy that Echols has created, and I can't wait for Such a Rush next month :)
