=book review= > []
 * ====I am not sure what I expected when picking up Jump, honestly it sounds like an ok book, a non assuming, summer read that's about rock climbing, with maybe a little twist. I enjoyed the nature that was in the books the way it was discribe was amazeing. on the back of the book it reads behind us i can hear them, crashing through the undergrowth, talking on there radios, coming closer. a tall pine stands at the edge. I run to and stop. far below the valley, laid out in greens and grays. below me is a sheer cliff all the way to the valley floor. i hear P.K ragged breathing beside me. you ready to lose them? i ask. she looks at me, confused. i take her shoulders and move her to the right of the tree. i stand to the left of it. on three we jump, i say. ready? she nods, but i can see the panic rising in her eyes and in her colers. dont think about it isay quickly. the voices are closer. one two three! Jump. That is what P.K. has done. A totally wild, crazy jump from a restrictive life with her family into a life of total adventurerock-climbing out west with a guy she barely knows. At first, everythings amazing. Not only are they climbing in awesomely beautiful national parks like Yosemite but they seem awesomely made for one another. P.K. is in heaven. And then the cops show up . with an arrest warrant. And P.K. has to decide who to believe this amazing guy whom she trusts with her life or the cops, who want her to believe that he may take her life.====
