Breaking The Rules

By Katie McGarry

“I wish life could be like this forever,” I say.

“We’d be okay then.

We’d forever be okay.”

For Echo Emerson, a road trip with her boyfriend is the perfect way to spend the last summer between school and college. It’s a chance forget all the things that make her so different at home. But most of all, it means almost three months alone with gorgeous Noah Hutchins, the only boy who’s never judged her.

Echo and Noah share everything.

But as their pasts come crashing back into their lives, its harder to hide that they come from two very different worlds. And as the summer fades, Echo faces her toughest decision – struggle to face the future together or let her first love go…

Good but not my favorite of the series.

[brandileigh2003 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I wanted to read this one because I love the characters of Noah and Echo. They grew and developed so much even in Pushing the Limits, and it was neat to see them make cameos in the rest of the companion novels. I just re-read PtL and it was a 5 star second time around and now I don't give 5 stars all that often. I can't help but feel like I have read this, or at least parts, but I can't find any info that it was released for free before or to bloggers. In this one, it picks up shortly after Pushing the Limits left off. We can see that both characters have grown so much, but they still have issues. Although Echo doesn't wear long sleeves most of the time now, she is still very sensitive to the stares and name calling. Noah is making peace with giving Carrie and Joe custody of his younger brothers, but the issue of his living blood relatives haunts him and starts to catch up with him, leaving him with a choice. True to Noah and Echo there were some hot moments and I loved every second of it. I like that Echo waited until she was ready though for taking it to the next level. Their character growth was awesome. The things that caused them to grow was never easy and they stuck by each other in the tough times. There were some pretty dramatic events that exposed their fears, insecurities, and paths in order to explore them. The ending was nice, but I still want more of Noah and Echo, and not sure if I will get any more besides what's been revealed in the other companion novellas. Bottom Line: Great to see fave characters again.
