Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
* ARC provided by the publisher for review
5 out of 5 gnomes
This
is one of those books that just keeps drawing you in. I found myself
utterly absorbed while reading it, I stayed up until three in the
morning on multiple days until I finished.
There
is indeed a lot of pushing the limits throughout the book, just like
the title implies. You see the limits of families and really the limits
of sanity too.
Echo
and Noah definitely have some serious issues but their chemistry is
pretty darn electric. I love getting to read both of their perspectives
throughout the book. They both aren’t exactly sure how to be in a good
relationship but you get to see them discover more about themselves and
each other. They really do grow up as the book progresses.
Echo’s
mom is more than a little crazy. There are hints of how crazy but when
Echo finally remembers what happened on the day she can’t forget it
leads to an intense fallout. This is not something you easily heal from
and it’s understandable why Echo had forgotten the whole day.
Mrs.
Collins has to be one of the most well written adults that I’ve seen in
YA books lately. She’s a great therapist that just seems to see right
into these kid’s psyches. I like how subtle she was and how she stood
up for both Echo and Noah. Especially a certain scene with Noah towards
the end because you could see that she too was broken hearted/emotional
over the choice that he had to make.
These
characters feel very real and you’ll find yourself worrying about how
they’re going to end up. This is an engrossing read and I know I for
one can’t wait to read what McGarry writes next.
