I am a dreamer, a believer in
second chances and new beginnings. That is the best way I have to describe how
this book impressed me; maybe my opinion is biased by my admiration for the
author Katie Mcgarry, but honestly “Chasing Impossible” is a complex, deep,
wholehearted story since the first line until the end.
As is characteristic of the
writer, this book is narrated from the two main characters point of view, also
is a stand-alone book and part as well of the “Pushing the limits” series, in
this opportunity we have Abby and Logan story.
Abby is a drug dealer all
her friends know that, nobody knows the reason though. Despite of her fearless
mask and her -don’t mess with me- attitude, inside she is a vulnerable person
with dreams and hope as every 17 years old girl. One day her world collapse and
because of that, she decides to tell her secret to the one person she trust the
most, Logan, an adrenaline junkie, who is hidden behind his craziness refusing
to accept his personal issues. Logan have being lying to everybody since he was
seven but determined to save Abby he confess his true, risking to loss his best
friends.
It is then, when both
realities Abby and Logan collide creating an explosion reaching all people near
to them.
Katie Mcgarry it did again.
The story has an outstanding written with minors contradiction that easily with
could pretend there are no there. Hilarious, deep, trustworthy dialogues, just
the right ones for every occasion: and love, a lot of love was pouring from
each page, love for family, for friends, for the soul mate. In addition there
was an intense description of the scenes, so effective that I could felt inside
the book next to the characters.
I have to admit this is not
my favorite story written by the author (well I´m deeply in love with “Dare you
to” and Ryan), however with “Chasing Impossible”, Katie Macgarry went beyond
any expatiation. Through an intricate plot the writer efficiently handled real
themes most of them avoiding by society: drugs, family issues, healthy problems
among teenagers, breaking laws and so on,
One more thing that I loved,
was the peek into the live of all characters from the rest of series, and that
was a perfect closure. It was wonderful to have news from people you love and
you haven’t seen in so long.
While I´m writing this review,
I´m felling warm in my chest, satisfaction as a reader and thankful with the author
for wrapping up each story of “Pushing the limits” in a book that made me feel
part of the family.
FIVE plus FIVE stars for
Chasing Impossible and if I could give it more I would.
Full recommended for everyone
who loves unique, funny, romance stories and happy endings.
