Sorry for the huge delay! Life has a way of sneaking up on you and taking a chunk out of your time!
A modern tale of star-crossed lovers with a fresh urban twist. At Fairfield High School, on the outskirts of Chicago , everyone knows that south-siders mixing with north-siders can be explosive. So when Brittany Ellis and Alejandro “Alex” Fuentes are forced to be lab partners in chemistry class, this human experiment leads to unexpected revelations – that Brittany ’s flawless reputation is a cover for her troubled home life, that Alex’s bad-boy persona hides his desire to break free from gang ties, and that when they’re together, life somehow makes more sense. Breaking through the stereotypes and expectations that threaten to keep Brittany and Alex apart, Perfect Chemistry takes readers to both sides of the tracks in a passionate love story about looking beneath the surface.
I give this book 5 stars

This book reminds me so much of my high school years! Where everyone is stereotyping EVERYONE! I love that Brittany is this perfect girl on the outside, but such an normal imperfect girl on the inside. This book shows teenagers that not everything is as it seems. And Alex! I am just drawn to his personality. He seems like such a bad boy! But deep down he is a softy. We definitely see that side of him with Brittany's sister. Sometimes we just don't realize that there are real people out there living the life of gang violence against their will. Overall I really enjoyed this book. I'm also very happy to see that there are a lot of teens out there who love this book too! I hope it opens their eyes and lets them see their own prejudices.
