Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
I actually got up at 4:30 AM yesterday to finish it--just because I wanted to know what happened!
The book focuses around Echo, a girl with a troubling past that she can't remember. All she knows is something happened that night with her mom which made her father put a restraining order on her mom and Echo is covered in scars.
Everyone at school thinks Echo tried to kill herself, but Echo has suppressed that memory and she just wants to be "normal".
Enter Noah. Noah is the typical bad boy on the outside, but is dealing with a lot on the inside. After a fire that took his parents lives, he has been bounced from foster home to foster home while being separated from his two younger brothers. He wants to get them back no matter what it takes.
When Noah and Echo's paths cross, who knows what will happen. Can Noah help Echo remember what happened that night? Can Echo help Noah get custody of his brothers? Will their lives ever be normal?
Review: This book was a good summer read. While it was somewhat predictable in areas, other parts had me totally surprised. I thought McGarry did a great job explaining a young adult romance without getting too graphic. The story was a dual narrator jump between Noah and Echo so it was interesting to see how different the two main characters really were.
Overall: Good quick read!
