From acclaimed author Katie McGarry comes an explosive new tale of a romance forged in the fast lane

The girl with straight A's and the perfect life--that's who people expect Rachel Young to be. So the private school junior keeps secrets from her wealthy family...and she's just added two more to the list. One involves racing strangers down dark country roads in her Mustang GT. The other? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Walker--a guy she has no business even talking to. But after the foster kid with the tattoos and intense gray eyes comes to her rescue, she can't get him out of her mind.

The last thing Isaiah needs is to get tangled up with a rich girl who wants to slum it on the south side for kicks. But when their shared love of street racing puts their lives in jeopardy, Isaiah and Rachel will have six weeks to come up with a way out. Six weeks to discover just how far they'll go to save each other.

I've received an ARC of this in exchange of a honest review

Publicado originalmente en: El Extraño Gato del Cuento

Con Dare To You quedé un poco decepcionada, después de leer Pushing The Limits tenía grandes expectativas que lamentablemente la segunda parte no llegó a completar, pero aun así cuando tuve la oportunidad de leer Crash Into You, solo no pude dejarla pasar.

A pesar de que me gustó un montón, no voy a negar que tiene varios puntos en contra el libro, por ejemplo el hecho que Katie ya tiene una cronología marcada en los tres libros que leído de ella: Insta-love, quiero-no-quiero, Chico hace algo tonto que o nos hace llorar o solo "arruina" las cosas con la chica, chica hace algo que podría en poner en peligro su vida y luego el final feliz. Lo que salva al libro es la narración de McGarry es muy adictiva, y por más que ya tenga las pautas de como irá el libro, de vez en cuando llega a sorprenderte, al menos a mí, en una escena me tuvo llorando y para luego poner mi poker face. En serio, Katie hace un trolleada bien malvada en el libro.

La historia es entretenida, quise odiar a Rachel pero no pude, es tan linda la maldita, como un conejito. Isaiah perfecto, personajes secundarios memorables, la más resaltante sin duda es Abby, se roba todo el protagonismo, ojalá Katy nos de su historia.

Otro punto negativo, es que todos sus personajes son tan pálidos, no hay diversidad, y leyendo un avance del siguiente libro (así de VIP soy) no va cambiar mucho eso, al menos con los protagonistas.

No niego que tengo debilidad por este tipo de libros ¿Chico malo tatuado? Casi siempre es algo muy atrayente para mí, lo bueno es que la escritora no se conforma con el protagonismo del Bad Boy, he ahí mi razón de que Rachel no me caiga mal. Es débil físicamente pero no se deja amedrentar, eso me gusta.

Una cosa curiosa que me pasó con el libro es esta: Amo los carros, los adoro como no tienen idea y la verdad es que cuando Rachel e Isaiah hablaban de carros me sentía la chica tonta que solo asiente aunque no tiene idea de que hablan, con mucha vergüenza confieso que no sé de carros, más allá de cuál es bonito.

Historia entretenida, fácil de leer, enamorarte un rato, me gustó. Eso es lo que hace una buena narración.

This one took me a while to read, I was worried about the way it would go, so I slowed down. I shouldn't have, they didn't do the really stupid things I thought they would do, but I still think they could have told more truth to her siblings.

I looked forward to Isaiah’s story, after his heartbreak with Beth. I wanted him to have what/who he really needed rather than what he thought he wanted. Rachel needs someone, too; someone who will see her for who she really is, unlike her family, who see her as a replacement daughter/sister.

Although it took me a while to read this one, I did like it. It held up to my expectations for a KM novel. I was worried that Rachel and Isaiah would spend too much time keeping secrets and I really dislike that trope, but I should have had more faith in Ms. McGarry. Secrets were kept, just not endlessly and without quite as much angst as normal, because they actually talk to each other (lovely for a change) and both Isaiah and Rachel talk to friends or siblings.

I’m glad to have ARCs of these novels, as I can’t keep them in the library. I read this one with one of my students to help motivate me and we had a fun time talking about it together. Katie McGarry’s books have become an autobuy for my library, and an autoread for quite a few of my girls.

I can't tell you how much this book was me. I love my mustangs and drag racing and was always the girl playing with the cars growing up. For that reason alone, this book had the potential of being my favorite of the series before I even started it. But then there was Isaiah. Oh, Isaiah - if only there were one of you in my life. Then, it'd be perfect. :) Isaiah is my favorite character from this series and I loved seeing him finally come out on top. If you're not reading this series by Katie McGarry, you definitely should be. ( )
