This book blew my mind. it was simply breath taking and i couldn't put it down. The story, the writing, the characters…everything was just...wow. The best part is that despite the fact that it was a love story there was so much more to it. There's so much drama in here but its perfectly fits in the story.
In the beginning, I wasn’t sure if Meg and John would really click; they were so strained together. However, as time progressed, their connection became more apparent and far stronger than I had originally realized.
More importantly, Meg and John truly have an effect on each other. This is far rarer in books than many would expect. How many fictional couples really change each other? Like some chemicals when thrown together, Meg and John (especially Meg) really create a reaction. And speaking of reactions- they have plenty of a physical sort of chemistry reaction, too. What adds an air of suspense to this novel, though, is the question of whether this reaction they create will produce a positive or negative effect on their personas.
Both Meg and John need something. And neither really knows what it is though they both try to find substitutions for what’s missing through various activities. John dedicates himself to the police force, and Meg dedicates herself to living wild. But what will really bring them the peace they seek?
Perhaps there were a few cliches in Going Too Far, but they were written so well and in such a fresh voice, that they didn't really bother me. Which is saying something, since I'm not really the world's biggest cliche fan.
There's a word I've been wanting to use in one of my reviews for quite some time now: enticing. But I hadn't really found a book that really fit the word until I read Going Too Far. So here it is: Jennifer Echol's latest novel is enticing.
