Noah – the school bad boy, determined to get his brothers out of the foster-care system that’s abused him - and Echo – the former popular girl who can’t remember what happened the night she almost died – are brought together by a school social worker. The romance between them develops in alternating povs and it’s definitely smoldering. Noah and Echo are both so broken at the beginning of the book; the adults in their lives have let them down in horrible ways. I was particularly empathetic to Echo’s problems – not just the mystery of what happened to her the night she got scars all over her arms – but the smaller ones, like how she feels like she’s being replaced in her dad’s life by her stepmother and their new baby, and how her former friends urge her against hooking up with Noah because of his reputation. I think this would absolutely appeal to Simone Elkeles fans, but I found it more intense and connected more with the characters. I’d definitely pick up McGarry’s next book. Recommend!

looooooved this book. I shed multiple tears, like truly sobbing, and laughed genuinely. this was wonderful.
This has got to be one of the most emotional reads of 2012 by far. I cannot count how many times I laughed and cried throughout the book. This is such a heartwarming tale of two unlikely people coming together and falling in love.
PTL is told from both Echo and Noah's POV which is something I really enjoy. It gives the story that much more depth and you are able to truly understand the dynamics of the character's.
The story is so realistic with the situation and settings that you will have no issue investing in the character's.
All I have to say is that every girl deserves her own Noah Hutchins. The steamy bad boy who really has a heart of gold underneath his tough exterior.
I LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT!! I was so captivated by the story that I stayed up half the night until I was finished. I could not stop until I found out what happened but then I cursed myself because I should have savoured it.
There is not one bad thing I can say about this book. Even the sub character's were amazing. Wonderful plot, amazing character's and an emotional whirlwind.
I will be revisiting Pushing The Limits time and time again.

One of my favorite books of the year. It was endearing and heart wrenching but it made me wanting more. I could not put it down. I fell in love with Echo and Noah. I hope we get more of their story.
Thus book had amazing character dynamics, and extremely relatable relationships. The plotline was well paced and engaging for the reader, but a few of the events did seem a little out of sorts. However, this book was still fantastic, and is a definite page turner.
well this book was really intense and left me with a need to want to know more. It also dealt with some VERY VERY heavy topics.
I really liked both Noah and Echo and how the story really delved into what they were going through even more than the romance. I think I also really liked seeing a main character in a foster care situation that wasn't the best because I know so many kids that have been in situations that are just as bad as the one Noah was in and I also just talked to someone about how they want to adopt their sibling as soon as they can.
The romance was also pretty great but the backstories is really what made this story dynamic.

I can't resist a story told in alternating points of view. I tend to speed through them because I'm always wondering what the other character is thinking or how they interpreted a situation. Echo and Noah had distinct voices and both felt genuine. However, sometimes, Noah was a little cheesy in the way he referred to Echo, so I wasn't quite as swoony over him as other readers have been. Overall, though, I enjoyed this story and recommend it to those who like reading about characters overcoming tragedy. Fans of Simone Elkeles will most likely enjoy this one, too.
I love Noah. I love Echo. I loved them together. I love how both of them are screwed up each in their own way, and I love how they work it out.
I love all the tension and passion that pours out of this novel.
Oh, also, have I mentioned I looove Noah? :)
