Let me preface that saying I went right from reading Pushing the Limits to reading this one. Fair warning, there may be spoilers for PTL. I may not be able to help myself. If that becomes an issue, I am sorry. So, Lincoln. Why is it that Lila has been writing to Lincoln since Aires died, and yet, we never heard mention of him at all in Pushing the Limits? How does that happen. I wish I would have gotten to see glimpses of him in the previous book, and I hope in the future books, we get to get to see more of him. Because, based on how he is written, he sounds like a real hottie. Talk, dark and muscular. And on that note, why are teen guys so well muscled? Has anyone thought of that? Some of our favorite YA novels have guys in them described as well muscled and hot abs and things like that. None of the guys I went to high school with looked anything like that... Just saying. Considering how little page real estate there was for Lincoln, I love the way the character was developed. The relationship between Lincoln and Lila develops almost naturally and by the end of the story, it felt like they had always been together and they were just meant to be. I really hope that the road blocks in their lives resolve and that they end up together. Further, I hope I get to find out. If you have read the rest of this series and are not so patiently waiting for TMO to come out, and haven't read Crossing the Line, pick it up and give it a read. It will go far too fast, but for that little while, you will feel connected again. Let me preface that saying I went right from reading Pushing the Limits to reading this one.

Lila, Echo's best friend in Pushing the Limits, has her own novella featuring her love story with Lincoln, who I don't remember being mentioned in the first book in the series. Lila and Lincoln have been pen pals and friends for over two years, ever since they met at Echo's brother's funeral. They finally meet, but it's not under the best of circumstances - Lila thinks Lincoln is joining her for college in Florida, but Lincoln has something important to tell her. I liked Lila in Pushing the Limits, because she was one of the only people who stuck by Echo even when Echo's other "friends" turned their back on her. In fact, Lila lost some "friendships" in the process of standing by Echo. So, by doing that, I saw Lila as a very strong character. However, in this novella, she is anything but. She completely freaks out when she's left alone for a week, and yet she wants to attend college in Florida, which is far away from Kentucky. And Lila is apparently so scatterbrained that her mother had to leave her dozens of sticky notes to remind Lila to do basic things, like look outside the door before opening it. Seriously? Lincoln was okay - I liked that he wasn't perfect, although he was a little too close to it. Note: This novella is included in the print version of Take Me On. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Katie McGarry captivated readers with her "riveting, emotional"* Young Adult debut, Pushing the Limits. In this gripping novella, she tells the story of Lila and Lincoln, who discover that sometimes it's worth crossing the line for love... Lila McCormick first met Lincoln Turner when tragedy struck both their lives. But she never expected their surprise encounter would lead to two years of exchanging letters-or that she'd fall for the boy she's only seen once. Their relationship is a secret, but Lila feels closer to Lincoln than anyone else. Until she finds out that he lied to her about the one thing she depended on him for the most. Hurting Lila is the last thing Lincoln wanted. For two years, her letters have been the only thing getting him through the day. Admitting his feelings would cross a line he's never dared breach before. But Lincoln will do whatever it takes to fix his mistakes, earn Lila's forgiveness-and finally win a chance to be with the girl he loves. Look for more contemporary YA by Katie McGarry with Pushing the Limits and Dare You To from Harlequin TEEN. *Simone Elkeles, New York Times bestselling author of the Perfect Chemistry series "Brimming with dark memories, veiled secrets, and steamy moments." -Publishers Weekly on Pushing the Limits .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Although Lila said things that showed immaturity, I did like her, but Lincoln was by far my favourite character. His home life was tough but he was a real sweetie and I loved that he felt he could open up to Lila when he couldn't with anyone else. The way he tried to make Lila feel better about herself was adorable. Their romance was so cute and I loved that they were friends first supporting each other through a tough time in their lives.
My biggest complaint was that this book was too short. I think Lila and Lincoln deserved a full-length novel. ( )
