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 did a bad thing after reading Pushing The Limits; wrote a short review and put it back on my
shelf, intending to revisit my review and flesh it out after a day or two. Only, I didn’t. You can call it reviewer laziness, but I
choose to go with being so touched by the story that my limited review-writing
skills were simply unequipped to write a review that could possibly give this
novel justice. (Yeah, I smell it too. It
was more reviewer laziness.)
So here’s the painfully short review I have for this
immensely addicting novel;
Oh em gee, was this
one a page-turner. The physical chemistry between Echo and Noah was off the
charts, especially during the first half, but don't be fooled into thinking
this is nothing but an edgy romance. Noah's and Echo's equally tragic stories,
and the highs and lows therein, are just as strong a focal point as the
romance. There were a few minor qualms I had that prevented me from giving this
5 stars, like Noah's fondness for (and overuse of) the endearment baby and a slight drag toward the last
quarter, but for the most part, this was a stellar read. One I happily,
greedily devoured in under 48 hours.
Pushing The Limits - 4.5 out of 5 stars
Everyone seems to seriously love this book. I guess I should put this on my list, since you're typically more critical than most, haha. Nice review even if it's so short! :)
ReplyDeleteMore critical than most...I take that as a good thing? Lol. I really think you'll love PTL, though it's HUGE on melodrama. But, seriously. Noah and Echo are hotttt together.
DeleteDefinitely a good thing! :) I think this is one of those books that I need to be careful to read it in the right mood. Sometimes books big on melodrama are just the death of me. I'll keep it in mind :)
DeleteIt's definitely huge on melodrama, but not in the total plot-device way a lot of poorly written books can have sometimes. Though I do know of a few people who still thought it was a bit too much. I think you'd like it still, though.
DeleteCritical is a good thing. We value your opinion on your reviews.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks! I love it when my book opinions and reviews can be trusted by others.
DeleteThis is yet another one on my to-read list, moving it a bit higher up now.
ReplyDeleteIt needs to, I think you'll love it! Especially if you have a soft spot for troubled boys and steamy romance lol.
DeleteDoesn't every one??!! Lol
DeleteYeah, my biggest annoyance was the overuse of "baby" too. Lol. Glad you liked it though! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd Oh em gee... your little Twitter birdie is adorbs. Just had to say that. Ha!
ReplyDeleteIt got to the point where I would almost wonder if he'd forgotten her real name, he was calling her "baby" so much lol. But if that's my main issue with a book, it's still a damn good book.
DeleteThanks! They had a few to choose from, but that bird is totally the best.
