Pushing the Limits is a great story. This book had been in my kindle for 3 months...

I was into romance/erotica books and I didn't want to change for a while but I am glad I gave it a try.

I loved Echo & Noah. I have a thing for broken families, maybe because my friends families are all this kind of perfect families, no issues at all. But I don't have a perfect one and I love it. I love my family but we are not perfect and we know it so I really connected with this book for that reason.

I missed a ...more

4.5 stars for me :)

This book is filling with real emotion with real people fighting within themselves to pick up pieces in their lives...

I started reading this book because of all the good reviews I read.
Once I started I was hooked. Literally read this book between last night and this morning.

Echo was in a bad place when she met Noah who was struggling with demons of his own past when his parents died in a fire. A fire which he believed was his fault because her wasn't home.
Noah kept himself fro ...more

Pushing the Limits is a story that pushes you to a very emotional and deep grieving for Noah and Echo.The book is written in Echo and Noah's points of view in alternating chapters. I fell in love with the tragic stories of Noah and Echo. An amazing story I would recommend over and over again.

"Not all who wander are Lost." In Echo's life, it is the exact opposite.

Echo's life can be described as anything but NORMAL. She lives with a father who failed her in so many ways and a new step-mother that let's just say came into the family in a very unconventional way. Echo has physical scars that were brought on by a bi-polar depressed mother who tried to kill her in an attempted suicide plot to reunite both of them with Aires, their dead brother and son. The physical scars were bad, but the emotional scars were unbearable. So much so that Echo suppressed all memory of the incident that horrible night the Stained Glass and her mother and father changed her life. Now Echo is fighting a battle of wanting to remember what happened with the help of her counselor and being terrified that remembering will turn her into the person she fears the most...her mother!

“Trust. Why not ask me to do something easier, like prove the existence of God? Even God had given up on me.”-Echo

"Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same." In Noah's life, this is the decision he has to make.

Noah's life is far from NORMAL. Losing his parents in a horrible house fire, and now his brothers because of the state. Noah is left with nothing. No family. No desire to follow any rules and definitely not have any authority figures in his life. Being moved from foster home to foster home his one brave decision to stand up to an abusive Foster parent cost him any chance of getting his brothers back. Determined Noah seeks to stop at nothing to reverse the mistake and fight with everything he has to get custody of his brothers and reunite his family. Now Noah is fighting with the decision of taking his brothers from their foster parents or trusting them with their lifes.

"Her shoulders never shook. No tears streamed down her face. 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 scars than tissue." -Noah

Never would they have imagined that finding each other would be the answer to their quest for NORMAL. As they get to know one another the attraction between them deepens and what starts as a tentative friendship soon becomes much more. Now they have to decide, can they both deal with their very different issues in order to build some kind of future together?

Pushing the limits isnt just a love story, it deals with complex issues such as death, mental health and the foster care/state system.

The story is told with two POV, and is a gritty realistic storyline, the only reason I have not given the book 5 stars is because at times I found the conversations betweeen Noah and Echo slightly cheesy. This is a perfect read for any YA/Romance fan.

I'm looking forward to reading Beths story ...more

A great read. A different twist in love story. Two teens dealing with heart ache and trouble that brings them together to join forces and much more. Had me questioning what was going to happen next which was good as usually I already now the story line mid-way through a book. A teen love story.
