Lila has been afraid of a lot of things in her life, but never of being honest with him. Lincoln, the guy she's met only once, yet somehow ended up writing to him steadily for the past two years. But it all comes to a crashing halt, because Lila found out he lied to her big time.Lincoln's family is a mess, it has been for a while now and he's reached the breaking point. Screwing up things with Lila, sends him running to her and leaving everything behind. There has to be a way to earn her forgiveness.When Lila and Lincoln meet they do more than forgive each other. In the course of a few hours they realize what they have is so much bigger than they ever imagined. Lila's belief in him pushes Lincoln to try and do better in his life, to fix his mess. And fix it he will because Lila is waiting on the other side. In turn, Lincoln is more than willing to be Lila's pillar whenever her resolve wavers--and it wavers often. He's the one to remind her of her strength and courage when she thinks she has none. These two couldn't be more perfect for each other!What I love about McGarry's work is that in just a few paragraphs the characters come alive. They pop off the page with their...their realness. I can't even describe it! lol They are flawed, brutally honest, beautiful in their vulnerability, and the relationships they make with others are soul deep. I wish I'd had these books during my teen years, because these coming of age stories are exceptional.I urge you to pick up this little novella! Crossing the Line is the perfect little treat to tide us over until we can get out hands on Dare You To, and I know that one's going to be as life-altering as the first.
