HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO?

All Meg has ever wanted is to get away. Away from high school. Away from her backwater town. Away from her parents who seem determined to keep her imprisoned in their dead-end lives. But one crazy evening involving a dare and forbidden railroad tracks, she goes way too far...and almost doesn't make it back.

John made a choice to stay. To enforce the rules. To serve and protect. He has nothing but contempt for what he sees as childish rebellion, and he wants to teach Meg a lesson she won't soon forget. But Meg pushes him to the limit by questioning everything he learned at the police academy. And when he pushes back, demanding to know why she won't be tied down, they will drive each other to the edge -- and over....

Ok, this was officially my favorite Jennifer Echols book yet! I absolutely loved it! I actually wish it was longer, with everything going on in the plot, MANY more pages would've kept me interested and loving every sentence. Going Too Far was very well written and had an intense plot. The story as a whole was very strong, but had humorous parts along with twists and turns along the way.

All the characters were real and weren't flawless which is part of what made it such an amazing book. From page one, you see all the characters, particularily Meg and John grow and work on overcoming those flaws. I absolutely loved Meg's character. When you first start reading, all you see is this blue-haired, punk girl, and as you read you find out there's much more to the attitude and appearance. John's another character from the first page he's introduced, you just fall for him.

I honestly don't know what else to say, Going Too Far had everything going for it a good book should have! Definately go grab yourself a copy!
