Crash Into You by Katie McGarry


“I can’t give you the world, Rachel, but I’ll give you all I got.”
This is the third installment in the absolutely outstanding Pushing the Limits Series. Katie McGarry has not disappointed with Crash Into You.

This story follows Isaiah Walker, Noah Hutchins best friend from Pushing the Limits. This book delves deeper into Isaiah's life and his fight for survival in a dangerous world. He lives for speed and cars and he survives by never giving anyone the chance to get close to him, never showing weakness. Enter Rachel Young. Beautiful, smart, shy, naive and has a certain obsession with cars. When they meet sparks fly and so begins a hard journey where it's not just their hearts that are on the line but their lives as well.

This book is told from both Isaiah and Rachel's point of view similar to the rest of Katie's books. It completely captivated me from the beginning to end. I have loved Isaiah since the start but this book just sealed the deal! It was fast-paced but was written in a way that wasn't rushed. It still gave you a great story line, the characters still developed and the twists and turns leave your mind reeling.
“Fuck me. God does exist and he sent an angel in a white Mustang to prove it.”

Isaiah and Rachel both love cars. They understand them. They're passionate about them. This passion ultimately starts their story. For Isaiah cars are his calling. They are his ticket to making a life for himself once he ages out of the foster care system. For Rachel cars are an escape. An escape from the shadow of her dead sister. An escape from the pressure of being the perfect daughter and sister. She understands cars more then she understands people. 
Katie's writing has captivated me once again. If I was allowed I would have devoured this book in one sitting but you know school and all! The way she portrayed her characters, how she described the scenes. It was a perfect blend. People might say that it was too fast-paced but it's a book centered around cars and speed. If a book ever needed to be fast-paced it would be this one! 
“I love you, Rachel. So this will work. No matter what or who stands in our way.” 
Rachel and Isaiah. Isaiah and Rachel. I loved them together! They just fit. Of course they were different but none of that mattered to them once they got past the bumps in the road that all couples go through! And some of them were really big. But you're just going to have to read it to find out!

This book really deserves the five stars that its getting. I found it so hard to fault so I just decided not to. If you haven't read this series yet go start now! You won't be disappointed! And don't forget to look out for Katie McGarry's next book Take Me On that's out soon.
