Book Review: Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry

Pushing the Limits is about Echo, (I know, so different but awesome name) a girl who had some pretty large curve balls thrown her way. Echo went from popular girl with the hot jock boyfriend to social outcast in the matter of a summer. Echo’s older brother was killed in Afghanistan while on duty which is heartbreaking itself, but a night she can’t remember is what caused Echo’s life to go from normal to rejected in the blink of an eye. She hid from everyone so she could bury the horrible scars that were left on her after that night. Echo ate lunch in the library, gave up painting, and avoided anything that was once normal to her. After a year of trying to escape the stares and rumors, Echo attempts to resurface to a life she once known. Noah Hutchins, the hot bad boy with a list of one night stands, is anything but normal for Echo. Total opposites of each other, Noah and Echo can’t help but find their attraction tempting. Are they really right for each other? Will Echo find what she has been searching for since her brother’s death? Pushing the Limits is a great book by Katie McGarry. She has written something that is truly enlightening to the world of scars and healing. Loving someone for who they are is something you can easily do with the right person, and you unquestionably saw that with Noah and Echo. Their relationship wasn’t easy but it showed true love at its finest. I loved how I was able to read the book from both Noah’s and Echo’s POV. They were such polar opposites of each other and it was definitely portrayed in each of their chapters.
