It was amazing. I finished it in one day. I loved all of it and I love Carlos!!!!!!
BUt in the end it was kind of confusing but I'm too tired right now to think about this.
adventurous emotional mysterious fast-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I really loved this. The only thing I had trouble with was the fact that I don't speak Spanish so the phrases that were written in Spanish were completely lost on me. Other than that this was an excellently paced read. It came with plenty of sexual tension, topped off with a relationship that seemed impossible. Definitely recommend!

Maybe I would’ve liked this better in high school but I’m glad I never read it and internalized this toxic bs.

Minus one star because it's a Grease cliche. Brit is a lot like Sandy. A virgin, perfect hair, perfect face, perfect body, a cheerleader. All around Campus Queen. Alex is Danny Zuko. He's in a gang, wears leather jackets and bandannas, smokes, drives cool cars.

fun sarcastic filled awesomeness. love the charecters and charisma of the whole book. the chemistry is just perfectly mind blowing

While I probably would have been wonderfully scandalized by this book if I'd read it in high school, it's just too teenager-y for me to fully enjoy it now. I realize that as a book intended for young adults, this isn't really something I can point out as a flaw, but it certainly wore on my enjoyment. I guess it just seemed...contrived. I knew where the story would go for the most part, from very near the beginning. Fans of romance, especially those involving "bad boys" will enjoy this one, but I was looking for something a little more refined.

Addictive from the first page! A change of genre for me, loved it. The chemistry throughout this book is incredible and the reminder that people often arent what they seem at first glance. A look at relationships across those invisible boundaries and the need to be able to be true to yourself.

This is a very cute YA. I like to reread it from time to time.

Plot: good - star crossed lovers; liked the Hispanic culture represented
Characters: likeable
Typos: were there any?
Love scenes: nice in a YA romantic way
Reality factor: it could happen

Worth the price? $7.99 - maybe
Would I read it again? Yes
Life changer? No

This book was so good! I was incredibly happy that I did not have anything to do, because I read this from start to finish in about 6 hours. I love the Romeo-Juliet/Crazy Beautiful feel it had to it, and I really think people of both genders would love it!!
