Crash into You (Pushing the Limits #3) by Katie McGarry - Restarting December 10th 2014

[Sarah Elizabeth]

From acclaimed author Katie McGarry comes an explosive new tale of a good girl with a reckless streak, a street-smart guy with nothing to lose, and a romance forged in the fast lane

The girl with straight As, designer clothes and the perfect life-that's who people expect Rachel Young to be. So the private-school junior keeps secrets from her wealthy parents and overbearing brothers...and she's just added two more to the list. One involves racing strangers down dark country roads in her Mustang GT. The other? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Walker-a guy she has no business even talking to. But when the foster kid with the tattoos and intense gray eyes comes to her rescue, she can't get him out of her mind.

Isaiah has secrets, too. About where he lives, and how he really feels about Rachel. The last thing he needs is to get tangled up with a rich girl who wants to slum it on the south side for kicks-no matter how angelic she might look.

But when their shared love of street racing puts both their lives in jeopardy, they have six weeks to come up with a way out. Six weeks to discover just how far they'll go to save each other.

Kaitlin and I will be reading this on November 9th. This book has not yet been realsed, and review copies can be requested on Netgalley here: https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho...

(view spoiler)[I did too! I really liked how she had a twin. (hide spoiler)]

[Kate]

Sarah wrote: "8% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I think it's because she wanted an adrenaline rush. She really likes to drive fast, and drag racing was an opportunity to do that. I don't think she fully understood what repercussions of doing it when she followed those two guys to the race, though. She didn't realize something really bad would come out of it. (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

Yeah, it just seemed a little(view spoiler)[ out of character considering she suffered from panic attacks, and hated being the centre of attention. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[Yay finally a book about Isaiah! Felt sad and sorry that Ryan took Beth away haha. His turn now :)
More family issues! Another pathetic mother problem.

I'm waiting for Isaiah and Rachel's first encounter! (hide spoiler)]

[Ekaterine]

I will join you moment I get off work. Enjoy!

[Ekaterine]

Starting now. I loved Isaiah from the start, he finally got his own HEA.

[Ekaterine]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ Why does everyone have a mommy issues in this series? And Rachel's whole family is pretty fucked up. Replacing a child? And asking of her to be like the daughter they lost? Yeah creepy. Isaiah is so cute and sweet. I like Rachel as well. Her freakouts are hilarious.

This book is making me feel like a car retard. No idea what they ar talking about. :D<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 5-(view spoiler)[looks are deceiving! Isaiah think she's just a rich daddy's girl who has no idea about cars haha

Can't blame him. She doesn't really match the description of a drag racer (hide spoiler)]

[Ekaterine]

33% OMG (view spoiler)[ I want to shake Rachel!! I mean he is risking his life for her, probably screwing up his future and all she can think about is that he doesn't like her that way? She is being dumb and I'm starting to dislike her. She needs to stand up for him. Try to help, not sit around mop.

I already hate her parents and brothers. How could you force someone to be a dead girl's shadow? I mean don't they have hearts? This is crazy and Rachel is being weakling. I would be rebelling and screaming and clawing my way to be my own person. She needs to grow some balls. My poor boy. <\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

Haha, yeah but she isn't tough at all. With all car talk they are making me feel like I know nothing...which I don't . :)

[Ekaterine]

48% (view spoiler)[ I like Beth and I know she was right about their relationship wouldn't work, but she came to strong on Isaiah. She really broke his heart and sassing and bitchiness won't fix it. I love that we get to see more of Noah. I love him.

Ugh Rachel isn't my favorite. I hate that she constantly complains about everyone treating her as weakling or broken doll, yet she does nothing to prove them wrong. Isaiah is to good for her. If they don't stop with "I like you more" I'm gonna hurt somebody. Not big fan of insta-love either.

I'm so disappointed in this one. I'm not loving it as much as I wanted to.<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 15 - (view spoiler)[So much chemistry between Rachel and Isaiah!!! I like how Isaiah brings out a side to Rachel she never knew she had. It's time to get over Beth :D (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Ekaterine wrote: "Chapter 14

Hahahaha I have no Idea what they're talking about either when it comes to cars

[Ekaterine]

Christina wrote: "Chapter 15 - [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I agree. They were never good together. And he needs to forget about Beth. They didn't have romantic kind relationship. Isaiah is too loyal to realize that.

I'm not big fan of there romance. For me it feels like a insta-love and don't enjoy it. I would have preferred for them to get to know each other before all the liking. Rachel is too passive. I get that that's how she was raised, but I hate that she doesn't stand up for Isaiah. And complains everyone seeing her as a sickly doll and yet does nothing to change minds. It's like she wants to be the weakling.

I do think she is better for Isaiah than Beth. Beth was too strong and hotheaded. Isaiah needs softness.

God, I love him!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Ekaterine]

52% (view spoiler)[ My poor baby... I'm so sorry for what he had to go through. I love him even more for not being angry at the world for screwing him over. (hide spoiler)]

[Ekaterine]

62% (view spoiler)[Holy Hell...that was hawt!!! *fans herself* Aww, so sweet. My hubby has a tattoo of my name on his forarm, of course he says it's there so he won't forget my name and cracks himself up. He thinks he is hilarious.*eye roll*<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End of Chapter 22 - (view spoiler)[Oh my god, Isaiah barely knows the girl and he's willing to take the $5000 debt for her. That's a lot of money!! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@Ekaterine
(view spoiler)[I sort of agree on your point about Rachel. When reading from her point of view, she comes across as a weakling and does little ot change it . She internalises too much. I think the Colleen businss would be better handled if she told her parents how she felt.

Instead of be all depressed by herself and trying to meet their expectations where she has to pretend and not be herself. Sounds like she's extremely distant from her parents. And it shouldn't be that way! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End of chapter 24 - (view spoiler)[It sickens me how depressed Rachel's mum gets, how she can't let go of Colleen. It's affecting everyone around her. She's the selfish one for not moving on and not focusing on the present. She should be spending more time with Rachel!
(hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 39 - (view spoiler)[What gives Beth the right to come back and try to be friends with Isaiah? I'm finding her really annoying at the moment.

It's funny how things change when you read them from another point of view!

Now Beth's got Rachel all worried that she can't compete with her... Well at least they're a sort of official couple now :)

Can I say, this book is pretty long for a contemporary! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Ekaterine wrote: "48% "

Yes.. Rachel is not very likeable. And her way with dealing is pathetic. Someone needs to shake some sense into her. Isaiah's problems are way more serious than her mommy issues.

[Christina]

Chapter 53-(view spoiler)[Rachel's brothers are such an obstacle! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

chapter 56 - (view spoiler)[What the freak! Gavin is pathetic. He's jobless and now he's got a gambling problem??

This is what happens when Rachel internalises everything = her brothers take her money and she vomits blood. She needs to tell them things or else the only person she's hurting is herself (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 68- (view spoiler)[Finally she is able to tell her mum how she feels about Colleen! Took long enough.
(hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Ekaterine wrote: "62% [spoilers removed]"

Aw that's sweet :)

[Christina]

Finished! (view spoiler)[The ending wasn't ideal because Rachel has to relearn how to walk :(
But it was bittersweet because her family came to an understanding and Isaiah was there for her :)

I liked the story but at times I felt it was too long! This is quite a gigantic book (hide spoiler)]

Agreed. (view spoiler)[ And you know what pissed me off mostly? When it really counted, when he needed help she didn't stand up to her family for him. I mean her brothers stole money Isaiah earned and earned for her. She could tell them the truth, demand it. I don't, punch somebody. OR when her father showed up. She didn't do anything useful. Ugh I hate her! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I kind of seeing were she is coming from. It's not easy to move on from that kind of lose. But her husband had to take her to the therapist, let her mourn her child properly and not to try and give her new shiny toy. It wasn't fair to either Rachel nor Colleen's memory. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ UGH!!! She pissed me off so much. I really wanted to slap her silly. I get that she is right, that Isaiah doesn't love her that way. But Isaiah doesn't see it and she tried to bully herself back into his life. She should have left when she so Rachel or not get up in her face.

I liked that we got to see them all, even briefly. I missed Noah and Echo.

You can say that and some more. It was too long!!! I got bored and took me few days to finish it. Not good! (hide spoiler)]

[Ekaterine]

Finished too! I was hoping next book would be about Abby and Ethan. But West is okay too. :D Wanna read it in August?

(view spoiler)[ I'm disappointed in this book. That's what happens when I get my hopes up. Rachel wasn't good enough. She pissed me off more times than not. There romance was too fast and really lot was going in this one.

Eric situation ended on an anticlimactic note. I mean, after all the build up it deserved much better resolve. And this book was too long!!! If she was planing to discard Eric so easily, lots of build up could have been taken down a notch and make the book shorter and more enjoyable. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Yeah I wanted the next book to be about Abby and Ethan but they already met so maybe it wouldn't be as interesting hehe

Yes. Let's buddy August!
