Noah had his happy ending (in Pushing the Limits), Beth had her happy ending (in Dare You To) I very much wanted Isaiah to have a happy ending of his own.


Isaiah has had a rough background, he has been through a lot.
Rachel has a great life or so it would seem...


Everything looks perfect on the outside of Rachel's life but it's anything but.
Her mother sees her only as a replacement for her older sister Colleen, who passed away from cancer and has Rachel speak on Colleen's behalf at the charity events that their mother holds for Colleen. Everyone is supposed to love and miss Colleen but Rachel don't in fact Rachel hates her older sister or more to the point she hates cancer that has taken her sister from them and tore up the once happy family apart.
Rachel's older brothers only add to her growing problems she has by being overly protective.
On top of all that the anxiety attacks that her family thought has gone away with the therapy has started up again but to cover them up she acts like nothing is wrong.
To cope with the stress she takes an interest in cars and motors, and becomes addicted to driving fast in cars. Speed isn't the only thing that she becomes addicted to, she also can't seem to stay away from Isaiah. With piercings and tattoos she knows her family won't accept him. But what brings them together will cost them everything.


All the characters were great.
I couldn't help but feel for Isaiah after how Dare You To left off.
Rachel was not only a pretty girl she was also smart.
Abby was another one that I really liked.
Crash Into You switches from Isaiah's point of view to Rachel's.
I love all of their background stories. This series could go on and on and I wouldn't mind!


Katie McGarry has a way of writing that sucks me into the stories and l love that about a book. Bring on Take Me On!

I really enjoyed the first one back when I read it, like, 10 years ago. This one sounded good, just like the second one did, but I didn't quite connect with it this much later. Back then, I might have liked it more, but it's been so long that my tastes have changed. This isn't my kind of book any longer.

I read this book years ago, but I loved it! I love Katie McGarry's writing style and I read all the books in the series. I would love to see more books from her! Thank you

While I won't be using this in a class, I do want to have it in my classroom library for students to choose for independent reading. As a teenager, I devoured "teen romance" books; they help teens navigate their first "real-life" romances a little more smoothly.

This book was requested when I was young and requested more books than I could possibly read. Sadly, I no longer have access to this book and my tastes have changed. Thus I will not be able to give feedback on this title.

There’s no question as to why this author turned heads in the romance world. Her books are packed full of romance, thought and wonderful characters. One that will stay with you.

Isiah has officially become one of my fictional boyfriends. I loved this book! Dare You Too made me a little angry because Beth was pissing me off, but I can see where Rachel is coming from and I loved how Isiah was when he was with her and how they were together. The only thing I really hated was Rachel's family dynamic; it was completely unfair to her and I was in outrage the entire book about it! Anyway, loved this one.

Katie McGarry books are the best reads as ever! Crash into You is of course one of them. I love this book a lot!

Another amazing spectacular and fantastic book by author Katie McGarry! I don't think there are enough words in the English language to tell you how much I enjoy her books. They are fast and easy reads that pull at your heartstrings and I can't get enough of them.

I'm sorry it has taken so long to review this title. I absolutely loved it and appreciate being able to have the opportunity to read it. This book was very thought provoking and I can only imagine what more happened to the characters. Thank you.

Unfortunately, Katie McGarry is an author that just doesnt’ work for me anymore. Her books have too much drama and angst I was not able to finsih reading this one. I appreciate the opportunity. I will not be rating or reviewing this title. Thanks.

At this point, I know exactly what to expect from a Katie McGarry novel - complicated characters with painful backstories, hormone-laden romance, and a whisper of danger. Crash into You has all of these qualities, which is no surprise, but what I am surprised by is how McGarry can keep writing basically the same book and yet they're all so insanely readable.

It's no secret that McGarry has hit on a formula that works for her. She does the edgy YA romance well - better than most, I'd say. She knows which heartstrings to pull and how to weave together a complicated family plotline with a romance that's heavy on the steam. Her best stories really capitalize on high concept plots, as well, like her Thunder Road series and its motorcycle club - and like Crash into You and it's Fast and the Furious vibe.

Of all the Pushing the Limits books, this one reminds me the most of the Thunder Road series, I guess because of the cars. That was probably my favorite aspect of the book - the drag racing. I've never read another YA contemporary that was so centered on driving and races etc. It was great!

I also like Isaiah. He reminded me of Razor from Walk the Edge (my FAVORITE McGarry leading male). He's your typical "bad boy with a heart of gold" trope, but honestly, there's not much bad boy in him. Even from the first scene where he and Rachel meet, he's nice to her. And I think that's where McGarry gets away with writing the same tattooed "bad boys" - not a single one of them are actually bad; on the contrary, they're all caring and devoted, if overprotective at times. McGarry also avoids the "good girl fixes the bad boy" trope, because both characters always need serious fixing, but they tend to find their healing independently of their romantic interest. Isaiah, for example, has to heal his relationship with his mom. It's not Rachel that fixes this relationship; it's Isaiah himself, and if anyone helps him with this, it's his social worker. I love that McGarry doesn't write codependent relationships.

What kept me from rounding my rating up to four stars was Rachel's family. I just couldn't connect with them the way I have with the ones in other McGarry books. To some extent, Rachel's family is similar to Breanna's in Walk the Edge, but where Breanna's always felt living and breathing, Rachel's falls flat. I felt like the mom is treated almost unfairly. Also, Rachel's brothers drove me a little crazy. It'll be hard for me to read West's story in the next book, I think, because I didn't like him at all in this one.

Also, while all of McGarry's novels have a taste for the overly dramatic, I thought this one went a little too far. Especially at the end. It felt like too much. Again, I'm reminded of Walk the Edge and how Breanna's parents didn't want her with Razor. The way that book wrapped up felt more realistic than this one, which makes me wonder if McGarry decided to revisit that plot but do it in a better way.

All that being said, though, I still thoroughly enjoyed the book. Katie McGarry never disappoints. I know everything that will happen before I even read the book, but I don't care. She may be doing the same thing with every novel, but she does it well.

*I never got around to reading and reviewing this book. I may do so in the future*
