BOOK REVIEW: Crash

Title: Crash
Author: Lisa McMann
Series: Visions (Book One)




Description: 

Jules lives with her family above their restaurant, which means she smells like pizza most of the time and drives their double-meatball-shaped food truck to school. It’s not a recipe for popularity, but she can handle that.

What she can’t handle is the recurring vision that haunts her. Over and over, Jules sees a careening truck hit a building and explode...and nine body bags in the snow.

The vision is everywhere—on billboards, television screens, windows—and she’s the only one who sees it. And the more she sees it, the more she sees. The vision is giving her clues, and soon Jules knows what she has to do. Because now she can see the face in one of the body bags, and it’s someone she knows. Someone she has been in love with for as long as she can remember.

In this riveting start to a gripping series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa McMann, Jules has to act—and act fast—to keep her vision from becoming reality.


Review:

Oh my God... I'm still astonished... And I can't find the words to describe this book.
I liked it. I really did. I couldn't even put it down for dinner.
The first 1/4 of the book was a bit slow, actually, but once I got hooked, I just kept reading without pause.
I really liked Jules and Trey. Rowan too, wasn't bad a character. But my favorite were definitely Jules and Trey.
And then in the end Sawyer too. I didn't like how he acted when Jules talked to him about the vision and then her feelings, though it was understandable he found the thing crazy. The vision I mean. And about her feelings, we learn why he acted the way he did in the end. And I liked how he stood up to Jules' father and chose to be a better person and care for Jules the way he's always wanted to. I liked them together and liked the memories of them as kids being close friends.
I even liked Jules' mother. But I didn't like at all her father. What a hypocrite. And asshole. Jerk. Stupid. And cheater.
The ending left me open-mouthed and shocked. And now I'm curious to know what will happen next in the second book. Can't wait to read it!
