Going to Far By Jennifer Echols

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....

Jennifer Echols is one of my favourite authors. She has the ability to make a very realistic love story which also deals with hard issues. Going to Far is my favourite book of hers. It's just what you hope for when you open up a new book. A good story, likable characters and a good dose of imagination.

As you can tell from the synopsis, Meg is a reckless mess. I mean, for one thing, her hair is dyed blue. Also, she's harboring a dark secret and when John enters the picture, she's not sure what to think anymore. He drives her crazy, with his annoying habit of being right about everything, the way he's so strict when it comes to the the law and also because he smells so good. What's a girl gotta do but fall for him? That's just what she does.

John was a great character. Hard and soft at the same time (if that's possible)  and just, you know, how a guy should be. He's not perfect though. He just as messed up as Meg and so, when he finds that he can talk to her, this crazy blue-haired girl, and starts to care just a bit too much about anything concerning her, he realises it's too late. He's in Love.

Now, the story can't go as smoothly as we'd all want it to. We'd want the two to get together and leave it at that but no, that is not gonna happen easily. That's what I love about books. They keep you on your toes. Making you anticipate. They keep building it up and finally, bam, it happens and it's just as good as you wanted it to be.

Overall, this books is good for the romantics or even if you just wanna read a good book.

Would I recommend it to you guys? Hell Yeah!

5 Stars!
