I have to admit, when I read about the dare element of this book I was really worried. I generally find that books with secrets like this leave me so stressed out as I read, and so I end up not really enjoying the book. I was so pleased to find that this part of the plot didn't play out as I'd expected it to, and so I could just enjoy the reading experience. The majority of this book is set at a different school, in a different town, to Pushing the Limits so there's a whole new lot of characters to get to know. Beth makes numerous trips back home though, giving us time to catch up with Echo and Noah, and with Isaiah. This isn't a perfect book, but the writing is so good that I was completely swept away by the reading experience and can happily overlook things that might have been gripes in a weaker book. I'm completely in love with this series, I think it's the closest a series of books have got to making me feel the way watching Friday Night Lights did. Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this. Before embarking on an 11 hour flight ... - I thoroughly enjoyed this. Before embarking on an 11 hour flight across the world, I knew I needed a Katie McGarry. Everything she writes somehow both soothes and excites me. Pushing the Limits, the first in this series was great, full of crackling chemistry and drama. I would recommend reading this book first as it contains the characters’ history, which isn’t completely essential, but boosts the engagement. This story follows Beth, another girl from the wrong side of town (Check out Red At Night). All she has known since she was a child was to protect her mother from everything.. drugs, a violent boyfriend and prison. Growing up with unsavoury characters, she has learnt to be tough as nails and sharp as a whip in order to survive. Her character jumped out at me with her dialogue ringing out loud and clear. Her vulnerability and strength also felt raw. As problems spiral out of control, Beth is forced to move away with her uncle who makes it his mission to reform her. Scared for her mother, separated from her best friends and attending the local ‘hick’ high school, she experiences her worst nightmare. Despite this, she finds herself drawn to the most stereo-typical guy she should avoid, golden boy jock Ryan. He is your average High School Musical star, but with baseball and a bit more muscle. On track to play pro, the cracks in his perfect life start to inch further into the book; a domineering father, a depressed mother and an estranged brother. What starts off as a dare to ask out scary skater girl, leads to deep attraction and mutual understanding. This romance started off quite slow with a lot of back tracking, which made the book longer than necessary. I was impressed with the shift in Ryan’s character, who started off as an macho airhead. Beth and Ryan have to face a lot of courage to make their relationship a reality. They have to face abilities that have been suppressed or forgotten. For Beth it’s trust, while for Ryan it’s rebellion.

Happy to continue my journey through the series.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A 'messy as hell' love story... *by B***E on 11 January 2015* A sequel to Pushing the Limits or just as a stand alone book, this book features Beth, a friend of Noah's from Pushing the Limits, and her own story with Ryan. “That must be love: when everything else in the world could implode and you wouldn't care as long as you had that one person standing beside you.” Beth is an extremely angry girl at the beginning of this book. In trying to save her mum from going to jail she ends up being taken away from her life and friends to stay with her uncle. Ryan is on the right tracks. He has scouts coming to watch his baseball games, has a great out of friends and refuses to loose a bet. So when his friends bet him to get a random girl at the mall's number he is up for it. Problem is, the girl is Beth, and she is not giving anyone her number. “There are times when you stand on the cusp of moments so huge, you know you'll remember them forever. This is that moment for me and for Ryan.” A story of second chances, starting over and realising how important your life really is to you. At first Beth hates her Uncle's rules, but through the book as she is able to let the weight that she has been carrying for years, from having a drug addict mum with a violent boyfriend, Beth is finally able to just be a teenage girl. Ryan has his own problems, with a seriously broken family. And Beth gives him the strength needed to start to heal his family, whilst learning to let go of the bad parts of her own that are pulling her down. “This overwhelming, encompassing feeling is love. It's not perfect and it's messy as hell. And it's exactly what I need.” Just like in Pushing the Limits Katie McGarry writes a realistic non 'insta love' relationship that is real for the characters she has written. It is a very cute love story and just shows (again like in Pushing the Limits) that you don't need a sex scene for a good romance. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/52430642-dare-you-to-from-the-author-of-pushing-the-limits](https://www.desertcart.us/products/52430642-dare-you-to-from-the-author-of-pushing-the-limits) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
