Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry

Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits, #1)

by Katie McGarry

They say be a good girl, get good grades, be popular. They know nothing about me.

I can't remember the night that changed my life. The night I went from popular to loner freak. And my family are determined to keep it that way. They said therapy was supposed to help. They didn't expect Noah. Noah is the dangerous boy my parents warned me about. But the only one who'll listen. The only one who'll help me find the truth.

I know every kiss, every promise, every touch is forbidden. But what if finding your destiny means breaking all the rules? A brave and powerful novel about loss, change and growing up, but most of all love.

I was super afraid of reading this book. Why? Mostly because it is so freakin' popular, and I've had so many disappointing experiences from popular books - they're not usually bad, I just usually expect so much from them and they just... don't follow through.
Pushing the Limits, though, I'm very happy to report, was everything other reviewers and readers said it was - absolutely fantastic.

One of the most beautiful things about this story are the characters.

Echo used to be one of the popular crowd, until one day it all changed. Now she's broken, deformed, empty, and she can't even tell anyone what happened, because she doesn't know. But she firmly believes that the hole in her chest would close if she just found out what happened. Only she never thought that to do that, she'd enlist the help of the bad-boy, girl-using, sexy stoner, Noah.

Noah is the sweetest bad boy on this planet. He's not really a bad-boy, but a really misunderstood boy who has been betrayed by the world in the worst possible way one too many times. He doesn't trust anyone, and in order to achieve his goals he'll do anything. In that way, helping Echo is the best choice in order to help himself.

But somehow, from just an alliance against a common "enemy", Echo and Noah both discover the strongest attraction, and understanding between each other...
