I'm glad to see you ended up enjoying this one though I always feel like no book can ever beat the first in a series.

It's a shame this one wasn't a higher rating for you. I know that for some people it's their favourite of the series yet and for others they've been left underwhelmed.

Pushing the Limits remains my favourite piece of work from Katie McGarry so far. I think I've slowly been investing in this series less as it's gone on, but I have too found them all to be compelling reads. There's just something holding me back slightly from investing 100% emotionally here - like you said, there might just be too much going on - but I'm still finding the writing pretty addictive, despite that. And I can't wait to read the next one. :) Great review, lovely!Sam (Realm of Fiction)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04440380021875536125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-52703599355641335032013-11-19T07:02:39.306+00:002013-11-19T07:02:39.306+00:00I agree that Crash had way too much going on.

I agree, particularly with regard to Rachel's family, but given her brother's story is next, I'm thinking we'll get a more thorough examination of them in his book. Glad you're still a huge Katie McGarry fan and are as excited for West's story as I am!

Especially, the overwhelming amount of drama. It seems like with every book the author keeps on increasing the amount of drama and it can get kind of frustrating at times. I also disliked Rachel's mother. She was so annoying and made my blood boil. However, yes, McGarry has a good writing style that keeps you hooked to her books. <br />I'm glad you liked it overall, Rachel.

I, for one, can come to terms with it because, for some reason, I don't expect too much. I do hope the next novel really gets back to the basics though!
