When things get tough, they are both forced to confront their issues and examine what it is they really want and what they have to do to get it.

“What if we’ll always be broken? What if we can never be fixed? What if this is it, for the rest of our lives? Regardless of whether we’re together or not? What if our past will always haunt us and makes us miserable? What if we’ll never shed our baggage and weights, and we’ll never be set free?” I had no doubt they were going to be alright, but watching them go through the difficult times was heartbreaking! I hated seeing them in so much pain!!! It’s all of the other stuff that gets in the way, and that is so beautifully portrayed in this book, as even with all that they are going through individually, they want nothing more than to see each other be happy. Love has never been the problem for Noah and Echo, their connection is deep, and they love each other fiercely. She has no idea that the single fear that keeps me up at night is knowing one day she’ll discover she doesn’t need me like I need her. Noah’s past actually comes looking for him, and his bad boy history brings problems and makes them both question everything.Įcho’s my solid, my base, my foundation. Echo isn’t having a lot of luck selling her paintings, and she still has unresolved issues from her past that are plaguing her.

This book picks up in the final weeks of their blissful summer together (prior to the timing of the other books in the series), and as the prospect of going home gets closer and closer, cracks start to appear in their happiness. When we left them in Pushing the Limits, they were heading off to travel around America during their summer vacation before starting College, giving Echo the opportunity to visit art galleries in the hopes of selling her paintings, and allowing the two of them to have some much deserved time together. Both of them were struggling with trauma in their past, which greatly affected their lives and who they were, but they accepted each other without question and overcame so much to find happiness together. But I have mad, obsessional love for these characters, and absolute faith in Katie McGarry that she would give them their well-deserved happy ending, so there was no way I wasn’t going to read it.Įcho and Noah met in high school where they formed an unlikely friendship which developed into an against-the-odds type of relationship.

I was nervous when Katie McGarry revealed her intentions to publish a sequel, because Noah and Echo have both been through so much, I didn’t want them to have to endure any more drama or heartache. Pushing the Limits absolutely rocked my world when I read it, and it remains one of my all-time favourite books.
