 the same way it took me a lot to read Dare You To, it took me a lot to start reading this one, for the same reason: i didn't like isaiah in Pushing the Limits (and i didn't like him in Dare You To being so stubborn). that is why my liking this book is even more surprising than my liking Dare You To. 
 i like cars, i don't understand how they work, but i like driving very much. nevertheless i didn't feel comfortable reading about cars and races and driving at the beginning. but somewhere in between when isaiah and rachel met for the first time and save each others i got hooked to the book and couldn't stop reading until the end. 
 i was so hooked to the story, that i didn't pay much attention to anything else. nor the writing nor the plot, just the story as a whole. i was eager to know if rachel was able to defeat her problems and to confront her family and get healthy. i was eager to know if isaiah could see that there were people wanting to help, people loving him. seeing his true self... 
 i can't say much about plot, writing style, secondary characters and so on. i was stuck with isaiah and rachel as if they were friends of mine telling me their story. i hurt for them, i hold my breath with every race, every difficult moment, every heartbreak... i was very wary of rachel's brothers, i didn't like what they were consciously doing to her in the name of brotherly love. and from time to time i wanted to slap isaiah for being so stubborn. 
 in the end i think katie mcgarry's books can only get better. i am in love with her characters and the stories she tells me about them. worth the time, worth the feelings. something to read if you like romantic YA fiction. 
 thank you to netgalley and harlequin teen for providing me with a copy of this book, even if i'm late reviewing it
