Book Review- Whisper to Me by Christina LeeRachel has decided to come home and help her mom for the summer.  She hasn’t really been back since she left for college three years ago.  After a motorbike accident, her near death injury and being dumped by her boyfriend she decided that she needed to go where no one knew anything about her and she could be someone else.However everything she tried to run from the last three years comes crashing into her once she goes home.  She comes face to face with her ex and all the people who let her down when she was in the hospital.  She also has to face her guilt of keeping her friends at arms length, using the boys at college to forget, and her new developing feelings for Kai. She is confused about what she is feeling, afraid he doesn’t feel the same and afraid of disappointing her best friend.Kai has loved Rachel for three years but ignored his feelings.  Spending time with her this summer brings everything to the fore front.  He isn’t strong enough to admit what he feels but will take anything Rachel offers.The summer turns into revealing truths and coming clean.  Rachel’s shocking secrets come out and she has to live with the consequences.I really loved Rachel’s story.  In fact I’m extremely fond of this series.  With Rachel the author dug into her character and alluded to why she behaved the way she did.  It was shocking to the reader when her secrets were revealed and what she endured before she came to college.  Ella, Avery, and even Dakota didn’t really know Rachel like they thought.The love story between Rachel and Kai was almost torturous.  They both had feelings but were too afraid to admit them.  It would have saved some heartache if they would have said more before they went their separate ways. The chemistry they had together was pretty sexy and their verbal banter was extremely hot. The ending, however, was awesome and worth the angst.  The journey for Rachel was an excellent read.  I give it a 4 out of 5.
