Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry

Noah Hutchins is bad news. A dark loner with a nasty reputation, a leather jacket and a bad attitude. Exactly the kind of boy Echo knows to stay away from, but could his brutal honesty and lack of respect for authority be exactly what she needs when no one else seems to want to tell her the truth or even help her find out why she doesn't remember the night she some how ended up with scars decorating her arms and a restraining order against her mother?

This book is told from both Noah and Echo's point of view. This alternating between the two main characters really helps you to understand them and their problems better. You really connect to them because you see what they think and feel about things. The other characters too felt like they had personalities and weren't just there to help or hinder Noah and Echo, they were all flawed but in ways that felt real. Never did this book become too typically teenage to the point where you want to roll your eyes, throw it at the floor and walk off because it's given you a headache and made you sick to death of anyone under 20 (which I myself am not so that's irony for you). It felt just right. Yes these characters are hormonal, slightly naive teenagers but they're also smart, determined and they don't always sit around and sulk when there is a problem, they do something about it.

Book Lust!

I've decided I'm going to do a post about the books I am currently lusting over. And I mean REALLY lusting. The type of lusting that makes you think "screw the fact that I need to pay a deposit on a rental house sometime in the near future, these look too good to walk away from." So here they are, the books I feel I might just need in my life soon.

So what books do you guys feel you need in your life and have any of you read the ones I'm desperate to get?
