Teaser Tuesday

Hi Guys!

So, it's Teaser Tuesday again--hosted by Should Be Reading. To play along all you have to do is:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that
 page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure 
that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t 
want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants 
can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

This time, she wouldn't walk away. Wrapping my arms around her, I walked her backwards into the brick. "Tell me you chose me, Echo."

So, I decided that, when I do Teaser Tuesday, if I've finished the book I'm also going to do a small review. 

Pushing the Limits was one of those books that EVERYONE seemed to love. I was really excited to read it and I definitely liked it. For me, the best part of the book was that I got fully invested in the characters, especially Noah. I loved the bond he had to his brothers. Echo was a little harder for me to connect to, but I still enjoyed her parts.

On the downside, I thought the writing was a little over-the-top sometimes. Noah kept calling Echo things like his siren and his nymph. I have a teenage so,n so I spend a lot of time around teenage guys. I can't really picture any of them thinking those words with a straight face. haha. And Noah was supposed to be super tough and jaded--which really made that part a stretch for me. I also felt the love story developed much  too quickly.

On the positive side, the book tackled some tough issues and didn't shy away from portraying realistic teenage problems/behavior.  I loved the emphasis on family bonds. I have to admit that I was in tears more than once, especially during the parts with Noah and his little brothers. I'd give this three 1/2 stars out of five. It was definitely a fun, emotional read with a ton of romance.
