Pushing the Limits
by Katie McGarry
It seems that I unfortunately do read a plethora of books I only find per-se. This book was alright, it was a read I enjoyed overall but I feel as if this book could've been better shorter.
Yes, this book dragged on. It was about four-hundred pages in which one-hundred were unnecessary. I know that that's just kind of my opinion on the book and not everyone feels this way, but I think I could've still easily grasped the message of the book without it dragging on for so long.
Another problem I had was that I didn't find the characters particularly likable. They both had some difficult things going on in their lives, but Noah especially could come across a tad one-dimensional in my opinion. I read this book a while ago and have probably forgotten some stuff, but I remember just disliking his character. Echo was a little better, I very much enjoyed her friends who stuck with her and if I am to read any more of the books in this "series" (doesn't seem likely right now, I have a lot of reading priorities) it would probably be the one about her best friend (I forgot her name, but she was described to be similar to Glinda the Good Witch ahaha).
This is a contemporary novel with a deeper message then the usual one, it's definitely not a light-hearted read, and has some themes of self-harm and mental illness. If you're interested in that and don't get bored easily in books (unfortunately, I tend to do that), I would recommend it. I definitely felt like I had learned something by the end of this book.
