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.

After seeing
all the hype that Crash into You got I HAD to see what the big deal was with
this series. I don't like to read books out of order so I rented the first book
from the library, even the first book had a waiting list.
I’m not sure
what I was expecting but whatever it was Pushing the Limits blew my
expectations out of the water! I would have finished this book in a matter of
hours if real life hadn't gotten in the way!
One of my
favorite things about this book is how imperfect Noah and Echo are. They are
both so “broken” and this book doesn't try to fix them so much as it helps them
find their way. This is not the typical happy-ever-after romance and that makes
it a much stronger story in my opinion.
I also love
how strong all of the characters are. Each with their own distinctive voices
and personalities, even the minor characters seemed real to me.
Basically I
LOVE THIS BOOK! It’s such a great love story without being all sappy every time
you turn the page. I think anyone who loves a good love story will not be able
to put this book down!
“Luke used to give me
butterflies. Noah spawned mutant pterodactyls.”
“It doesn't get
better," I said. "The pain. The wounds scab over and you don't always
feel like a knife is slashing through you. But when you least expect it, the
pain flashes to remind you you'll never be the same.”
“Are you ready to take the
ACT on Saturday?" my father asked.
Did chickens enjoy being put on trucks labeled
KFC? "Sure.”
“I've already lost a piece
of my mind. I can't trust you with what's left.”
“I must have killed a lot
of cows in a past life for Karma to hate me this much.”
“Fabulous. This night had
shifted from the best to bad to Saw in record time.”
“A warm, tickling touch
crashed me back to earth. Maybe it sent me straight to heaven. Either way, it
dragged me out of hell.”
KATIE MCGARRY was a
teenager during the age of grunge and boy bands and remembers those years as
the best and worst of her life. She is a lover of music, happy endings, and
reality television, and is a secret University of Kentucky basketball fan.
