The girl with straight As, designer clothes and the perfect life-that's who people expect Rachel Young to be. So the private-school junior keeps secrets from her wealthy parents and overbearing brothers...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 when the foster kid with the tattoos and intense gray eyes comes to her rescue, she can't get him out of her mind.
Isaiah has secrets, too. About where he lives, and how he really feels about Rachel. The last thing he needs is to get tangled up with a rich girl who wants to slum it on the south side for kicks-no matter how angelic she might look.
But when their shared love of street racing puts both their lives in jeopardy, they 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 was highly curious for this third book in the gripping Pushing The Limits series. The first two books had me hooked and left me wanting more. This book is told from Isaiah's point of view, with Rachel as the good rich girl he falls in love with.While Crash Into You wasn’t my favorite of the three it was still a compelling read. The characters where interesting, it was the plot with was quite thin that made that I find it hard to continue reading and I honestly say I skipped a few pages here and there because the story was a little slow. I had the feeling I saw what was coming and that I had read a similar storyline in a similar type of book.Somehow this series remind me quite a lot of the Perfect Chemistry series by Simone Elkeles, same storyline, same cast of characters. I found it hard to believe that Rachel would forgive her brothers so easily for what they did. I found it hard that basically Rachel and Isaiah BOTH ended up in similar tragic circumstances surrounding motor vehicles, AND it was a little too neatly tied for what the situation allowed. And there were times when I thought Rachel's respective jealous streaks seemed off with the timing of the overarching conflict even when Isaiah had said multiple times that Beth and him weren't going out.I think the best I've read in this series to date has been "Dare You To". But I'm more than happy to read more of what McGarry has to offer, in this series and beyond.
