Breaking the Rules Book Review

 

Breaking the Rules (Sequel to Pushing the Limits)
Katie McGarry
Published December 8th 2014 by Harlequin Teen

For new high school graduate Echo Emerson, a summer road trip out west with her boyfriend means getting away and forgetting what makes her so... different. It means seeing cool sights while selling her art at galleries along the way. And most of all, it means almost three months alone with Noah Hutchins, the hot, smart, soul-battered guy who’s never judged her. Echo and Noah share everything — except the one thing Echo’s just not ready for.

But when the source of Echo’s constant nightmares comes back into her life, she has to make some tough decisions about what she really wants — even as foster kid Noah’s search for his last remaining relatives forces them both to confront some serious truths about life, love, and themselves.

Now, with one week left before college orientation, jobs and real life, Echo must decide if Noah's more than the bad-boy fling everyone warned her he'd be. And the last leg of an amazing road trip will turn... seriously epic.  



Review:

There is no end to my love for Katie McGarry's writing. From the very first time I read Pushing the Limits, to Dare You To, and all the way through Crash Into You and Take Me On, I have enjoyed each and every story told. So, when I heard that a sequel to Pushing the Limits was coming out, I was ecstatic! More Noah and Echo is a Christmas present all by itself.

Going into Breaking the Rules I was expecting the best. And when expecting the best, many times you end up being disappointed because the best is not what you get. However, this was not one of those times.

The truth? I had no problems with Breaking the Rules. None at all. After finishing, I looked back and realized I don't have a thing to complain about. The relationship between Noah and Echo was a beautiful continuation, yet also entered into a different part of their lives. You get to see Isaiah and Beth, which satisfied me in itself.

Breaking the Rules concentrates on a road trip Noah and Echo take after graduation from High School and before entering college. So this is an older theme than what was first introduced in Pushing the Limits. But there are no problems with this. I loved seeing the different more mature sides between Noah and Echo.

I lied above, I do have a complaint about this book. The complaint is that it ended, I wish it never had. The beauty that is Katie McGarry's writing is wonderful to read, and the relationship between Noah and Echo is amazing to say the least.
