Stop #6
Echo and Noah both attend
the same high school, but that’s where their similarities seem to end. Their paths cross however, when, on the first
day of school after winter break they both meet their newly appointed school
social worker. Katie McGarry wrote Pushing the Limits in alternating points of view, one chapter
by Echo, the next by Noah. Check out the
excerpts below, taken from the first chapters of Katie’s debut novel. Want to read from the beginning? Every stop
on the blog tour features new excerpts – the complete tour schedule can be

Echo:
“Is there a bathroom nearby?” Ashley
interrupted. “The baby loves to sit on my bladder.”

Ashley loved to make everything about her. Mrs. Collins gave her a strained
smile and pointed to the door. “Go out to the main hallway and take a right.”
The way she maneuvered out of her
chair, Ashley acted as if she carried a thousand-pound ball of lead instead of
a tiny baby. I shook my head in disgust, which only drew my father’s ice-cold
stare.
Noah:
“Noah?”
Mrs. Collins called me into her office.
The last
guidance counselor had major OCD issues. Everything in the office perfectly
placed. I used to move his plaques just to mess with him. There’d be no such
entertainment with Mrs. Collins. Her desk was a mess. I could bury a body in
here and no one would ever find it.
Taking the seat across from her, I
waited for my ass-chewing.
“How was
your Christmas break?” She had that kind look again, sort of like a puppy.
“Good.” That is if you considered
your foster mom and dad getting into a screaming match and throwing everyone’s
gifts into the fireplace a good Christmas. I’d always dreamed of spending my
Christmas in a hellhole basement watching my two best friends get stoned.
