Mostly skip the part about the blood, I feel like i need more romancee I NEED MOAREEE

Well this book was really good. I usually never read YA books but I am glad I read this book. I give it a 5 out of 5. A perfect title for a perfect book! Perfect Chemistry kept me alert until the very end. Alex Fuentes came from a bad home and a bad side of town. He deals with gang involvement and has a bad boy reputation. His bad boy reputation hides the fact that he wants to break free from his gang. On the other hand Brittany Ellis is a good girl who has a good reputation but still has a bad home life. When they are paired together for a project sparks fly. This books allows you to look at both sides of the tracks and I love how the characters come together from totally different lifestyles and yet have so much in common. As they fall in love they start not to care what other people think and they learn to see what's on the inside and what lies beneath. This is a truly passionate story about two high school students falling in love against the odds. I really loved this book and hated when it ended. Books are all about the characters and I love how the author brought the characters to life. I actually felt like they were real and I knew them. This feeling is what makes reading worth while to me! There are two more books in this series that I just found out about and I will definitely be reading them both! They are called Rules of Attraction and Chain Reaction.

Brittany Ellis, una joven estadounidense que se esfuerza por ser perfecta, es emparejado con Alex Fuentes, un chicano que forma parte de los Latino Blood. No sería tan malo si no fuese porque Brittany, horas antes, casi atropella a Alex. Por culpa de una apuesta, Alex se ve obligado a engatusar a Brittany para tirársela y así ganar la apuesta, sin saber, que se estaba enamorando de ella.

Este es uno de esos libros que una vez dije 'No me llama la atención'. Y paso mucho tiempo esperando en el móvil a ser leído. Un día, tras las buenas críticas cosechadas por este libro y porque la trilogía ya estaba completa, decidí que ya era hora. Que había que leerlo. Cogí mi móvil, instale el .jar del libro y comencé a leer. Pasaron un capítulo o dos y no me llamaba mucho la atención, así que ahí se quedó. Pero cansada de ver más y más reseñas y evento de su autora, retomé la lectura. El domingo ya me había leído más del 60% del libro y lo dejé para que no se me hiciese tan corto. Al día siguiente, volví a la lectura y sin quererlo ni beberlo, me acabé el libro. Si, si, como suena. De repente ponía FIN. Y yo me quede como WTF? ¡Quiero más! Quiero más de Alex Fuentes, Brittany Ellis, Fairfield, la señora Peterson, Paco, Sierra, quería más de Química Perfecta. Así que me enfurruñé con Simone porque los otros libros, que aún no he leído, no tratan sobre Alex ni Brittany. Habrá que conformarse.
Algo que no me gustó del libro fue su final. Era un final demasiado rápido. Todo se resumía en hago esto y lo otro, todo es como antes y se acabó. Y claro, a mi así no. Pero lo compensa con la maravillosa historia de amor entre dos razas y dos estatus sociales y económicos diferentes. Y de como al final, te das cuenta de que cada uno no es lo que parece.

En fin, es un libro que se lee en nada, que engancha, pero que el final... no es muy allá. Por eso no se lleva el 5.

This was one of the best books I have ever read. Greatly written, great characters and a great story. It was perfect in my opinion.

This book was actually pretty good. I'm glad they fixed to cover. It went beyond my expectations.

don't remember much about this series other than it being a sweet romance. i finished this in 2 days and i really enjoyed it!

This is the first book that I have read straight through, in over probably three months. Perfect Chemistry is definitely a page turner. I was reading this book in class when I should not have been reading it at all. I was completely addicted to the book. Alex and Brittany's relationship is so compelling. I could not put this book down. I read it in three days, and it's probably the reason I'll get a bad grade on my english essay. Oh well!!
