So, I am a huge fan of Pushing the Limits; I own and ARC copy, eBook and the audible versions of it and I have preordered Dare You To.  Obviously, I like Katie McGarry's writing style! I was a little surprised to see that Lila and Stephen are no longer a couple in this book, but then again, Echo's previous boyfriend, Luke was no prize and Stephen is one of his friends.  Both Stephen and Luke make small appearances in this book, but they act like juveniles and Lila's choice in the gorgeous Lincoln makes sense.Lila has apparently been writing to Lincoln, a guy she met at Aires's funeral for the past two years (yes, while she was dating Stephen) and has fallen for him and broken up with Stephen.  Stephen doesn't want to let her go and convinces her that she is too scared to go to college in Florida and to remain in Kentucky with him and all her close friends.  Lincoln shows up at her house because he has to explain a lie he has told her and helps her see her own strength.I didn't LOVE it as Lila was quite a bit whinier than in PTL and somewhat mean, but this is a cute love story that I did LIKE.  "I like you, Lila.  As more than a friend.  I wake up in the morning and I think of you.  I go to bed at night and you're the last thought in my mind.  I dream of you.  The best days of the week are the ones when I get your letters." - LincolnThose that want to know how much of this novella is story and how much is Pushing the Limits and Dare You To teasers, Crossing the Line goes until 82% on my kindle. Where McGarry's books normally have A LOT of f-bombs, this one is relatively clean.Dare You To Teaser:  Beth was not my favorite character in PTL, her story is so much darker.  I would really like to see her loved by someone who can take care of her.  This one has A LOT of f-bombs!
