Jude and Lucy have graduated from high school and are now in college living five hours from each other. Lucy is attending Julliard to be a dancer. Jude is attending Syracuse and is the star QB for the football team. After the rollercoaster of drama these two went through in Crash, you would think things would have settled down between these two. Yeah, not so much. They both still have a lot of growing up to do to make this relationship work. Lucy has become insecure with her relationship with Jude after a cheerleader named Adriana Vix has started to show Jude a lot of unwanted attention. She has made her intentions clear to Lucy that she will be with Jude and will do anything and everything to get him. And Lucy has decided she is not going to let this vindictive bitch take her man away from her. Let the cat fights begin.Phew. Jealousy can be consuming when it raises its ugly head. Lucy is usually very level headed but has begun to doubt herself and her relationship. And in return, this causes her to act irrationally *coughcatfightcough* (best scene ever!) and question her relationship with Jude. After witnessing something that could tear her and Jude a part forever, Lucy decides she needs a break.Jude is crazy in love with Lucy. She is all the family he has. He wants her forever and when Lucy decides she needs a break, it crushes him. But, he loves her enough to never give up on her."I'll be here when you're ready. No matter how long it takes. I'll always be here, Luce. I'm yours," he breathed, squeezing my hands, "forever."I absolutely adore Jude and Lucy. Their relationship is not easy. They both think with their emotions and their hearts which is why they tend to yell instead of talk things out.
I LOVE JUDE AND LUCY!!! Okay, in all seriousness, if you enjoyed Crash, you will love Clash. You will still want to slap Lucy around a little for being such a girl but if I looked back to myself at 18, I'm pretty sure I'd want to slap her around too. All that says to me is that Nicole Williams created a character that we can all identify with.Clash picks up where Crash left us off, with both Jude and Lucy following their dreams (although Jude's is a relatively new dream) and trying to work on their relationship together. Their schools are five hours apart which only then gives them weekends to be together and Jude is of course the starting QB for the Orangemen. College football, college parties, college girls...Enter our new girl-to-hate, Adriana Vix (can't hate all the cheerleaders in the world, but definitely dislike this one). Adriana is the type of girl who has used her looks to get what she wants and isn't shy about making what she wants known...this cheerleader wants Jude Ryder (of course I'm sure she's not the only girl who wants Jude Ryder at Syracuse either).Insecurities and trust issues will creep back into Lucy's world...between both their schedules, her school and dance and their family's issues, is this relationship really meant to be?We also got to meet a few teammates of Jude's. Tony was easy to love right from the beginning. His banter with Jude and even Lucy was great and I thought it felt very normal college guy. That helped make them all totally believable characters (I know, the likelihood of a ballerina at Julliard dating any starting college qb is low but the actual characters were believable and likeable - well except of course the slutty ones).This book was a quick read and I of course loved it.
