Pushing the Limits
by Katie McGarry
Originally posted on SIK Book Reviews
Pushing the Limits was an enjoyable book, filled with emotion, family drama, and romance. I thought that the story was good and enjoyable. The storyline wasn't very creative or unique: a good girl causing a bad boy to turn good for her and a what-should-have-been cute little love story being ruined by bad/dramatic home lives. The main ideas in this story have been done before for sure, but that doesn't mean that this book wasn't enjoyable. It was. I thought that McGarry did a very good job and her writing was great as well.
The story is told in alternating POVs between Echo and Noah. I actually preferred Noah's narrations better for some reason. This is weird for me, because I typically prefer reading from a female's perspective rather than a male's (since I am a female). Noah is an endearing young man. He has home-life issues that have ultimately turned him into a girl-using, non-caring, stoner -- at least, on the outside. Throughout the book, we discover the real Noah and how caring he actually is, especially when it comes to his love for his brothers. Echo is similar in some ways. There was an incident in her past that caused her to lose her popularity at school and to become more of a loner herself. But, she still manages to keep up her grades and be an all-around good girl. Therefore, in many ways, these two are meant for each other, as they both are understanding about having not-so-perfect home lives.
I would recommend this book to all you romance lovers out there, as there is plenty of lovey-dovey content. It is also more than just a simple love story, though, as you will see once you pick the book up and begin to delve into the lives of Noah and Echo. I enjoyed it and think that you would too! Although I really liked this novel, it's not one of those books that will leave me missing and yearning for the characters; I can leave Noah and Echo in my past without screaming out for more.
