Leaving Paradise-Simone Elkeles


Nothing has been the same since Caleb Becker left a party drunk, got behind the wheel, and hit Maggie Armstrong. Even after months of painful physical therapy, Maggie walks with a limp. Her social life is nil and a scholarship to study abroad—her chance to escape everyone and their pitying stares — has been canceled. After a year in juvenile jail, Caleb’s free . . . if freedom means endless nagging from a transition coach and the prying eyes of the entire town. Coming home should feel good, but his family and ex-girlfriend seem like strangers. Caleb and Maggie are outsiders, pigeon-holed as "criminal" and "freak." Then the truth emerges about what really happened the night of the accident and, once again, everything changes. It’s a bleak and tortuous journey for Caleb and Maggie, yet they end up finding comfort and strength from a surprising source: each other.


I love this book even more than Perfect Chemistry. The best thing in the works of Simone Elkeles that we got a chance to see both sides of the coin, boy and girl. I love Caleb and Maggie even more than Britanny and Alex. I love the way how we can read page by page they realizing they couldn't count on anyone but each other. This is really an amazing story about trust, hurt, how one event can change not only one or two lives but whole families etc. You know, that's a funny thing how it's true sometimes the last person you think could help you is the one who saves you in the end. And yes, I cried again because I don't know when did that happen but I became a cry baby and cry over every damn thing. I just can't wait to read the next book, too bad it'll be published only in September :(
