Pushing The Limits- Katie Mcgarry

let's start this review of by saying, this is not a happy, go lucky love story where the guy and the girl are so perfect and they cling to each other desperately never letting go. In fact only the love story part of that is true. This has got to be one of the darkest romance stories I have read in a while. The two main characters Echo and Noah deal with some pretty dark stuff, and both suffer from their past

No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal. But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

I love romances that aren't about perfect people, and this book is about 2 people who are seriously messed up. I fell in love with Noah, the way he wasn't afraid of her scars, the way he stood up for her, he's every girls dream guy. But what a sad story what happened to both of them was horrid. I felt like echo's issue was a little more important (sorry Noah I still love you) I mean SPOILER her mom did try to kill her, and her brother died, but I feel like if she had looked at her dad and Ashley more she might understand. Her dad was terrible for not telling her, but you also knew he loved her. Noah, noah noah, his brothers were taken away from him after his parents died and that is terrible, and the godamn system didn't help him it destroyed him. I did quite like this book, so i'm giving it a 4.5 out of 5.
