Our thoughts...
I’ve been going back into books that I have had for
a long long long time and reading them and this book is one of them. I added the cover of the book I read. The cover has been updated but this is the
paperback book I have that I read and I wanted to share that cover with
you. The publisher may have even changed
or at least changed their name but this is the book that I have and what I am
sharing with you.
Even though I am in my 30s I still love a good young
adult romance and this one really did it for me. You meet Brittany. She is a high school senior that everyone
thinks is the perfect girl. Good grades,
cheerleader captain, football player boyfriend, and virgin to name a few things
about Brittany but it is all an act? She
gets partnered up with Alex in chemistry for the whole year and is stuck with
him. Alex is a gangbanger. He is from the opposite side of town. He is 100% different than Brittany but he is
the perfect bad boy. The clash and fight
through out a lot of this book but happen to not be able to stay away from each
other.
I really liked this book. It brought so many things from the young
adult genre that I love. These
characters have so many struggles and you can’t help but keep cheering for
them. I will say I did hate the
cover. I hated it a lot and I think that
is why I waited so long to read it but don’t worry the new version has a much
better cover!
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves
young adult books. This is book one in a
series and the next book is about Carlos, Alex’s brother. I am almost finished with book two as well
and I really like it so far!
