Going Too Far

by Jennifer Echols

High school senior Meg revels in being a rebel; cutting class whenever possible and hanging out anywhere she's not supposed to be. Like on a railroad-tracks-covered bridge that's off-limits to trespassers. When she and her friends are busted for trespassing and underage drinking, she's sentenced to spend her spring break riding along with a rookie police officer on his nightshift patrol. To make things worse the cop, John After, is only two years older than Meg, and is sure that he knows all he needs to about her. John has nothing but contempt for her childish rebellion, but that's fine, because the feelings mutual - his straight-laced, by-the-book attitude is everything that Meg hates.

But they're about to discover that they have a lot more in common than either one of them could have dreamed and, as they're forced to spend time together, sparks fly and a hot attraction between them becomes undeniable…

This book had a very weird start!
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!
