“The worst type of crying wasn't the kind everyone could see--the wailing on street corners, the tearing at clothes. No, the worst kind happened when your soul wept and no matter what you did, there was no way to comfort it. A section withered and became a scar on the part of your soul that survived. For people like me and Echo, our souls contained more scar tissue than life.”
Katie McGarry, Pushing the Limits

“I love you enough to never make you choose.”

No problem! I can't wait for you to read Dare You To! You'll see more of Echo and Noah in Dare You To and I haven't decided if we'll see more of Lila and Lincoln in the future yet. :-)

Miranda Thanks Katie for adding me as your friend! I can't wait to read Dare You To. Only 26 more days :)

P.S. I read the alternate ending to Crossing the Line with Lincoln joining Lila in Florida and I was wondering if we're going to hear from them later in the series. I'm also hoping to see a little bit of Echo and Noah hehe

B.C. Doyle I'm happy to hear that Echo and Noah are secondary characters in Dare You To, even though I'm dying to know how their relationship progresses!!!


message 19: by Katie

Katie McGarry Yes! Echo and Noah become secondary characters in Dare You To.


Swilliams305 Thanks, good to know! Beth is definitely a character I would like to get to know better. So, my next and final question is will Dare You To mention Echo and Noah at all?


message 17: by Katie

Katie McGarry Hi Swilliams!

Thank you for the message about Pushing the Limits. I just loved writing Echo and Noah. Beth's story, Dare You To, takes place the August after Echo and Noah graduate!

Thanks,

Katie


Swilliams305 Just finished "Pushing the Limits". What a beautiful story. Loved it. Curious, Is Beth's story before PTL's timeframe or after?


message 15: by Katie

Katie McGarry Hi Remo!

Yay! I'm glad you loved Pushing the Limits! If it helps, I cried while writing PTL. I can't wait for you to read Beth's story!

Katie


Remo ❤ Echo and Noah's story is absolutely amazing! I don't know id I was hormonal but damn I cried like every 3 pages. I cannot wait for Dare You To, I am gonna try to hunt down an ARC copy for my blog.

Katie McGarry Reannan,
