I was first hooked on McGarry's work via this lovely couple, and therefore, I am happy I finally read the second half of their story. Both Echo and Noah had a lot of baggage to unpack in the first book, and though they made progress, they were by no means, completely unburdened by their past. They had hope for the future, and in this book, we see them commit to moving forward and not letting the past define them. I will admit it was quite a bumpy ride, and even though I knew this would end well, it was touch and go for me, as I worried about the fate of this union. I was really surprised and pleased with the choices made for these characters, and I am glad I had the opportunity to see them grow and heal and reach for their happy.

I gobbled this book up within a few days, because it had me at Katie McGarry and she is definitely one of my absolute favorite authors. I'll read pretty much anything that she's written. So, stay tuned for a book review coming soon.

Siempre he querido saber más de Aires. Cada vez que Echo lo menciona me pongo a llorar ¿por qué? Ni idea. Además de que no puedo quitarme de la cabeza que Aires tenía un amor secreto por ahí, ¿cuán doloroso sería que Katie le escribiera un libro? Mataría por leerlo

Breaking the Rules es una lectura bastante sexy, un poco más adulta que los libros anteriores de Katie McGarry.

Ésta es una de las cosas que quiero resaltar sobre Breaking the Rules, como bien lo dice McGarry en los agradecimientos, este libro es diferente, porque fue escrito de una forma más madura. A pesar de que es prácticamente inmediato de donde quedó Rompiendo las Normas, las personalidades tanto de Echo como de Noah han crecido y por muy pocos meses que hayan sido, ellos también crecieron y es notable en libro, más allá de ser una lectura mucho más sexy (MUCHO MÁS SEXY) que los libros anteriores, también lo es la manera en la que los personajes reaccionan a las situaciones complicadas que la escritora les pone.

Para no exponer más a que pueda soltar algún spoiler, es todo lo que diré: Breaking the Rules es un libro más maduro, tanto para los personajes como para la escritora, si has leído los libros publicados antes de Breaking the Rules, ya sabes como es que se soluciona pero aún así es interesante ver a los personajes madurar y enfrentar otras situaciones.

I've been waiting SO long for this book. All of Katie McGarry's stories have moved me to tears, and while I loved all of them, Echo and Noah have remained my favorite couple, so I was so excited to read this book. I was not disappointed in anyway. It was well worth the wait! The interview and playlist at the end were also great.
