Seeing who she truly was really helped me to empathize with her. But as the book went on I got to see beneath that hard exterior and see the damaged, scared girl beneath the tough outer shell. She purposely didn’t have friends, her dad wasn’t very nice, and she was extremely snarky. Meg, who, as you can imagine, is oh-so-happy to be missing her spring break.Īt the beginning of the book, Meg was just your average outcast. He sets out to teach them about the dangers of trespassing on the train tracks by forcing them to ride along with the firemen, paramedics, or him during their spring break.Īnd guess who John chooses for himself? You got it. One night John finds Meg on the bridge with a few of her acquaintances and her boyfriend Eric. “Going Too Far” is about Meg, who has led a very troubled life since she was 13-years-old, and a cop named John, who is obsessed with the railroad bridge in town because of a past incident. Echols also writes adult romantic comedies. Written in 2009, “Going Too Far” is Echol’s third young adult romance the first two being “Major Crush” and “The Boys Next Door”, which are both romantic comedies. But what really makes this book so memorable is that it’s focused on a railroad bridge. Jennifer Echols has written a believable and relatable tale about two people, a 19-year-old cop and rebellious 18-year-old girl, falling in love while running from their painful pasts. “Going Too Far” is not your average romance or teen rebellion book.
