Pushing the Limits: An Award-Winning Novel (Paperback)
Summer 2012 Kids' Next List
“I picked up this book and thought, 'Oh, please save us from another typical high school romance story' and that is exactly what Katie McGarry has done. Told from the alternating perspectives of Echo -- a girl with physical and emotional scars bespeaking a past she cannot remember -- and Noah -- a self-important fringe-walking bad boy who doesn't need anyone -- this novel is expertly crafted and wholly believable. Sophisticated teens rejoice! Here's the number-one book on your summer 'must read' list!”
— Andrea Greenlee, Page One Bookstore, Albuquerque, NM
