DNF
After getting through 200 pages of constant arguing, worrying and fear to tell each other the truth I decided to give up. I don't feel like reading through another 200 pages of that when I could be reading something else on my day off.
It's been so long since I read Pushing the Limits, but I remember really liking it. l'll definitely be continuing the series to read the other characters stories though.

Pushing the Limits is one of my favourite books, and in my opinion it ended well enough that I didn't need to read another book about Echo and Noah, but I love them as a couple so I wanted to see what Katie McGarry was going to do with them.....
The results: I came out disliking the whole cliché plot line and my feelings for Echo tampered. Echo was always this strong character who found herself with Noah but for some reason she became a little selfish and childish in this book. It almost didn't seem like Echo, not to me anyway. My advice to anyone who loves the series is to just avoid this book.

I really loved this. I was really afraid of reading this book, especially that it was written after several sequels, a jump back in time. But it was just as great as Pushing the Limits #1. And it's a hard core feat, because it doesn't always happen.

Breaking the Rules has not only been one of my most anticipated books for 2015, but also as part of a series too, and when I found out it had been picked up by the UK publisher, and it was offered up for reviews, I literally counted down the days waiting for my copy to arrive. I am going to give a mini review as I don't want to spoil what happens in this book for those who have yet to read it.
Breaking the Rules is set between Pushing the Limits and Dare You To, and is Echo and Noah's story as we follow them on a road trip. During this trip Echo plans to stop at various art galleries to try to sell her paintings. but also to spend some time with Noah. However after Echo receives a call from someone from her past, and Noah not only gets told some shocking news, but confronts someone from his past, this promising road trip quickly turns sour.
Breaking the Rules is a full length novel, and it was just as good a the rest of the books in this series. I thoroughly enjoyed every single page of this book, and had a late night/early morning session to finish it. I loved getting to catch up with Echo and Noah once again in their own book, but when Beth and Isiah paid a visit it just made the dynamics of the characters that much more amazing. They way they bounce of each other, and get what the other is thinking. If I didn't already love Beth from Dare You To, I would definitely love her from this book alone.
Breaking the Rules is a must read for fans of Katie, for fans of Echo and Noah, and for fans of Beth and Isiah....basically anyone who likes this series, and those yet to start it. Breaking the Rules also has a sneak peak of a chapter from Nowhere But Here, and all I know is May needs to get here quickly.

Now, slapping Noah-classic move. I rate it a seven. But you should have kicked him in the nuts. That was a nut-cracking moment.

I've been screaming for a book that wasn't full of misogyny, had characters with depth, good romance and life lessons. Little did I know it was sitting in the palm of my hands. What I loved so much about this book is the character development. In books you always see the blissful beginings of relationships, you never see the inner conflict of characters having to choose between what they love and who they love. And most of all letting go of the past that haunts them. This book did that beautifully, they learned to love, trust and forgive themselves. I love Mrs. Collins, I pray for more pushing the limits novels because I love her character. I loved the foreshadowing with Beth watching the Yankees or Isisah stroking the tiger. Finally I love how Mia was used to show Noah that the only thing holding him back from a good relationship with Echo was himself. I'm proud of both Echo and Noah for what they achieved , how mature Noah became.

I really wish this were released in physical copy, but oh well. There’s no way I was not going to get this book, no matter the format.
I’d forgotten how much I liked Noah and Echo from the first book. Now, we get to see them dealing with their lasting issues, only now together and wanting to stay that way.
I loved the New Adult aspect of this novel, now that they’re out of high school and on the road, only the two of them. They’re more mature now, and they’re very happy to be together.
This book was pretty angsty, though. They fight several times, trying to deal with their own issues as well as the ones they have together. They want the same things, but they have a very hard time telling them to each other. Some of it was so aggravating. Noah makes one big, stupid step in this book that’s pretty much the climax, and he’s so frustratingly dumb about it. Because, just, Noah, really?
Noah is trying to be the man he thinks Echo deserves, trying to do everything too fast and making himself doubt. Then Echo wants to do her art, while dealing with her mother and her scars. Then Noah’s family comes in the picture. Everything gets messed up, before it can even try to get better. The fact they’re together lets us see them be a couple, do couple things and plan together, and do more steamy things. That was nice.
Also, we see Isaiah several times, and I love him. He’s such a good friend to both of them. And it just made me want to re-read his story.
The whole story went by so fast, though, and I loved it. The ending was so great.
I can’t wait for her next book.

I thought this was going to be a light, short story about Echo and Noah's summer road trip. Instead it was basically a novel length sequel to Pushing the Limits, with lots of angst and confusion. I got really frustrated with the characters in the middle. Why do so many people seem to want to destroy their relationship? And why do Echo and Noah take all the little things said by complete (or nearly so) strangers to heart? And Echo, pay more attention to how the things you do might appear to Noah. "I'm just going to go hang out with this strange (and kinda creepy) guy who followed me back to our hotel room. Why are you upset?"
