Pushing the Limits (A Pushing the Limits Novel)

Product Information

At their first tutoring session, Noah attempts to storm out of the room. Echo moves to stop him, and Noah sees her scars. Since the scars are not common knowledge at school, Echo is worried that Noah will gossip about her. Her best friend, Lila, encourages her to take control of the rumor, but Echo refuses because she is concerned about her lost memories. However, the girls are surprised when Noah keeps what he knows to himself. Qiao, R. et al. Transition-metal redox evolution in LiNi 0.5Mn 0.3Co 0.2O 2 electrodes at high potentials. J.

As each realizes what the other is really like, they gradually begin to fall for each other, though social pressure prevents them from being together. Echo’s popularity is once again on the upswing, and she is afraid that being involved with someone like Noah will damage it, making her an outcast again. Noah, very taken by Echo, is worried that he will not be able to treat her right because of his unstable past and living situation.
