Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols

        
Going Too Far
by Jennifer Echols

Summary from Goodreads:

"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...."



Rating:


Going Too Far is a book I find truly memorable after reading. 

Talk about a couple bringing out the best and WORST in each other! 

Boy, was there a lot to take in on both Meg and John! I got the point about how they each had these issues about themselves and their surroundings, but at first it was kind of hard to understand. I tried to form my own theories about why they were acting that way but I was really surprised to find the real reasons behind them. I couldn’t help feeling sorry for how broken they were. 

It’s nice that they found a way to deal with their problems and lean on each other for support and understanding. I totally love seeing them together. 

I like how Echols has written this book and I’m eager to read more from her.
