Carino, leggero, se avete tempo lo leggete in una seduta. Oltre a questo, direi che non c'è molto altro da dire. Beth e Ryan sono due stereotipi di due dei protagonisti YA più comuni: la ragazza con un mucchio di problemi e il ragazzo perfetto. Nella vita reale starebbero insieme? Probabilmente no. Ma io non cerco la vita reale nei libri, quindi sono perfettamente soddisfatta così ;).
Cercavo una lettura leggera e veloce, dopo il finale di FMA ero in lutto quindi ho preso quel libro che ero sicura che sarebbe stato perfetto per quei periodi in cui hai appena finito la serie del secolo e senti come se nulla potrà mai raggiungere quel livello. Ho trovato esattamente quello che cercavo e non potrei essere più soddisfatta ;D.
Anche se Beth e Ryan non sono onestamente la mia coppia preferita, continuo a preferire Noah e Echo XD

This book deserves a billion stars because five is just not enough!! This book was just brilliant, the plot was interesting, entertaining, and heartbreaking. There where many times where I found myself with a prick of tears in my eyes. I don't know who I love most in this book, Noah and Echo are just amazing and. So are Beth and isaiah. Noah made me love him because of how much he loved his brothers and just how far he would I for them. Echo made me live her because of how much she was willing to give up for the people she loves, how much she loved her brother an how she always looked for the good in her mother up until the end. In short this book was spectacular and honest, beautiful and heartbreaking all in one. It's an emotional roller coaster but it's all worth it!
A student recommended this book, saying it's better than "Perfect Chemistry" (which I haven't read but students tell me to read every year). The writing was really awful... laughably so, but I did care about the characters and rooted for them. I won't be picking up the second.
I had seen this book circling around the blogosphere quite a lot so when I saw it on NetGalley, I had to request it.
As soon as I began reading it I was sucked in. I had to figure out what happened to Echo and desperately needed to learn more about Noah. (I've come to the conclusion that if a character is named Noah, I almost always love them). This book pulled me into it's pages and didn't let go until I was finished. I literally read it in one day.
The storyline and characters were amazing and easy to fall in love with, very realistic and had me almost tearing up in a few spots. I knew right away that I was going to love this book and I was not wrong.
This is a book that I wouldn't hesitate to read again. I absolutely loved it.

Contemporary is not something I read. I've only read two this whole year including this one. And Pushing The Limits has had such an impact on me that I am now actually adding more contemporary books to my must reads. Plain and simple McGarry has created such a riveting and heart wrenching story about two characters who even though complete opposites couldn't be more alike.
Echo and Noah have been through a lot. Echo is the popular girl gone loner and considered a freak with all those horrible scars on her arms which she can't remember how she got them. Her world has been turned upside down. Her brother is dead, her mom has something to do with that horrible night that changed her entire life, and her dad is married and having a baby with her former babysitter.
Noah...oh man this boy is complex, he is the bad boy at least that is what everyone sees on the surface but deep down there is so much more to Noah. He lost both his parents to a fire and is being bounced around foster homes while trying to figure out how to get custody of his two little brothers who he thinks is living in a home where they are being abused.
I can go on and on about the two main characters, they were so real and believable never once did I find them to be unrealistic. And not just them but all the characters in the book from Beth, Isaiah, even Mrs. Collins and Echo's dad were all multifaceted which made even reading parts that included them in it just as gripping as the parts that only involved Echo and Noah.
I experienced a whole whirlwind of emotions while reading Pushing The Limits. I caught myself on the verge of crying at some points while others I would be laughing or angry and at times nervous and full of worry. It was really a rollercoaster of a book and I highly recommend it.

Great character and plot development---I was right there with 'em through the end
I would say more of a 4.5 star rating. Such a heart breaking story this way but after all the heartbreak and sadness it a beautiful story.
Ah loved this so much. The story. The characters. Everything held so much heart felt emotions. Can't wait to focus on Dare You To by Katie McGarry as well.
This was a great book. I wish the second one was still in Noah and Echo's point of view though.
I still loved the ending!
