I thought it was a very very good book. It was different then a lot of books i know. I think that it was very well put together. I kept wanting to know more and what was going to happen next. I'm looking forward to reading more of these books.

Wow. Took me two sittings to finish this book because I couldn't put it down! She has a gift of intertwining the right amount of suspense and humor. I could envision every scene to the last detail in slow motion. The ending...Oh my dogs! ;) Such a great book and I will be waiting anxiously for the next!!!

A good book that made me wonder what was going to happen at the end. The ending was kind of a cliffhanger since there is another book after this one.

In a word:
DRAMA
Read this book if you like:
Romeo and Juliet
Pizza
Visions
The Wake books
Quick reads
This book wasn't my favorite from Lisa McMann, mostly because it reminded me so much of her Wake trilogy. It didn't feel new, but it was still a good story. I loved how the vision was isolate to signs and screens. It gave it a unique feel and the star-crossed love story was a unique twist to add. Overall, I was really concerned about the characters in the body bags and even MORE worried that we wouldn't know what happened in the first book. If the author would have made me wait for the second book in order to find out how the crash went down, I would have been upset!

Lisa McMann's latest dive into the paranormal geared towards the young adult combines her penchant for mysticism and perception beyond ordinary.
Visions series follows the same formula as her Dream Catcher series - which I absolutely loved. Her characters has some kind of psychic ability that they're able to use for the common good. In here, Jules gets visions of bad things that will happen in the future and it's up to her to try and stop it or warn whoever's directly impacted by the occurrence. In this case, son of rival family, Sawyer.
The family rivalry rivals that of the Capulet and Montagues. And wouldn't you know it? Julia and Sawyer are of Italian descent. There's something infinitely passionate about the Italians - especially when it comes to food and love. You never, ever covet their recipes the way you covet their spouses.
Jules and Sawyer used to be best friends until their respective families battles against the other made virtual strangers out of them. But even though they've grown apart, they have never stopped being aware of each other's existence. When Jules started having visions of Sawyer dying in a horrific accident involving a crash and explosion, she ignores all her resentment and abandonment issues toward the boy that she's loved forever. It's too bad that all her warnings make her sound like a nut job. Disregarding the ridicule she's bound to get, she sets out to save him even if it meant lying to her parents and risking the possibility of lifetime grounding.
Reading Crash is like talking to one of those Gilmore Girls. You need to get your brain up to speed with the conversation or you'll fall behind. It doesn't mean, however, that the plot moved at a break-neck speed. It's timed right, though fast-paced and ripe with suspense. The romance has the forbidden factor that most romance readers would enjoy. It's the thrilling possibility that they could get caught and the sweet moments when they realize how much they've missed.

The main character in this book was so alive and unique. Lisa McMann is an awesome writer. The forbidden love story was sweet and pretty believable. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
