HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO? All Meg has ever wanted is to get away. Away from high school. Away from her backwater town. Away from her parents who seem determined to keep her imprisoned in their dead-end lives. But one crazy evening involving a dare and forbidden railroad tracks, she goes way too far...and almost doesn't make it back. John made a choice to stay. To enforce the rules. To serve and protect. He has nothing but contempt for what he sees as childish rebellion, and he wants to teach Meg a lesson she won't soon forget. But Meg pushes him to the limit by questioning everything he learned at the police academy. And when he pushes back, demanding to know why she won't be tied down, they will drive each other to the edge -- and over...

Sadly, I don't have much to say about Going Too Far. It's not too bad, but it wasn't anywhere close to wow. It was kind of sweet, the romance blossoming between the two. It was interesting to see why Meg was so set on being a little crazy and getting out, and why John - known in the book by his surname, After - was so vigilant in making sure people obeyed the law. After was all tough and hard in the beginning, but seemed to recover from his anger fairly easily after Meg had wound him up. He got past things too easily, and it was a little annoying. But a sweet story overall.
Thank you to Simon and Schuster Children's Books for the review copy.

Anyway, this is a NA lovestory, which has more to it than meets the eye. It was a true pleasure to read about. I would've wanted a bit more of understanding and a little less hysteria. Then again, I probably acted the same way when I was 17.
The ending was a bit too fast paced for my liking, because after all, it took quite a few pages for the story to pick up.
The characters were loveable and complex, which are to things that I love. I liked both Meg and John, and the minor characters as well. It took some time, but in the end I was rooting for them. At the beginning I was rather skeptical, because somehow it seemed forced and "wrong," but fortunately that changed.
The writing of this book was good. It was detailed, yet easy to read. It took no time reading this book. This would make for a good beach read!
I liked this book a lot, but it didn't have that last thing to get the fifth star. It's a solid 4 stars from me!
