No one knows what
happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock
boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms.
Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she
knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal. But when Noah
Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket,
explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising
understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have
imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they
both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.Yet the
crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask
herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for
the one guy who might teach her how to love again.
This book was an emotional rollercoaster from page one. I had no idea what to really expect when it came to this book, but I absolutely loved this book.
The author takes two teens who are both facing some of the toughest moments of their life (because being a teen is not hard enough apparently) and both have to begin healing. And the way the author brought two character's from completely different backgrounds together; it was just epicness in the making.
Pushing The Limits was beautifully written, almost poetry. There was a lot of kissing, which made me a little happy, and the way things fell into place I would never have imagined them happening the way they did. I found myself at the edge of my seat wanting to know each of these characters as much as possible.
Beautiful, haunting, and coming out truthfully with the tough choices that teens face today in a complicated world. For the most part I wished that neither Echo nor Noah would go through the tough time they were having. I especially found Echo's step-mother to be irritating but it seemed that both got a break in their life through a guidance counselor at school, someone I always found to know all the answers. Personal experience anyways.
This book I highly recommend to anyone that loves true life teen problems and someone who can connect to the loss of a love one and the healing that has to go with it.
McGarry writes a memorable book that will not be forgotten, even after turning the last page.
