4.5 stars!!! This was such a good book. And the added chapters perfectly capture charlotte and Noah story as it should be told! Completely whole. The struggles with overcoming grief is so real in this book. But learning to find the light and love is such an important message. Charlotte and Noah truly have a beautiful love story everyone should read!

This book was so heartwarming!! Noahs character development was amazing and the disability representation in this book was really well done. I love love love Charlotte also. What a wonderful and independent character. This book was a little over 400 pages and I was honestly captivated the entire time.

Emma Scott just got herself another reader. This story was written so beautifully it didn’t take long for it to completely grab my attention. It reminded me a bit of ‘Me Before You’ but that’s what I loved about it, I’ve always been a sucker for these stories.
Noah has lost his sight and his adventures life in one terrible accident.
Charlotte had lost her brother and through him her music. Until she becomes the assistant of Mr. Noah Lake and she begins to play again. Somehow these two broken souls become everything to each other and Noah must learn to accept and live with his new reality in order to be the man Charlotte deserves.
I loved everything about this book except for one character that absolutely made my blood boil the minute he was introduced, if you have read the story then you know who I’m talking about. That man was absolute trash but every other important character I loved. Lucien obviously takes first place though. I strongly recommend this story.

Rush: Deluxe Edition by Emma Scott is a fabulous story about a young man, Noah Lake, an extreme sports athlete, journalist, and photographer until an accident left him in a coma. He awakes to find his career gone; his dreams shattered to pieces, his world an endless blackness that will never lift.
Charlotte Conroy, age 21, a Montana living in NYC attending Juilliard student studying the violin, was dating her first boyfriend, Keith Johnson. Keith was part of the Spring Street Quartet, and Charlotte was the first chair until her brother, Chris, died, and she had to go back home for his funeral. When she came back to NYC, everything was gone, including the boyfriend. Charlotte worked two jobs, one bartending and then waitressing, and she still was having a difficult time making her rent payment. Lucien Caron entered the place where she was waitressing and made her an offer she couldn't refuse. Charlotte began working as a personal assistant to Noah Lake.
Charlotte begins to see that beneath Noah's angry, brittle exterior is a young man in pain. She is determined to show him that his life isn't over, that he has so much to live for, never dreaming that she would become the only light in his darkness or that he would help her find the music in hers. The life he knew was over. The life she wants is just out of reach. Together, they must face their fears and rediscover what it means to live. "Pretty good, but not quite enough." "The best thing to do is rarely the easiest."
Emma Scott has a way of breaking your heart and then mending it back together but leaving you restless.
