Overall it was cute more like a 2.5 stars and I liked how it was centered around people of color but I just felt like the female character was portrayed in a way that I did not enjoy and I like the middle dragged on way too long of her suffering through an unhappy relationship

I truly enjoyed this story! It was light and fluffy, but I found the conversation about consent and the openness between the characters well done. Like the heavy topics still came across light, but in a good way.
Reagan is your perfect “good girl”. Mo is your typical “bad boy”. Of course they’re going to fall in love. But of course there are snags. Reagan is in a relationship. Mo is a part of a rehabilitation program. This novel captures the essence of high school love, finding your voice, and letting yourself be a little reckless with the right people.

The Right Side of Reckless by Whitney D. Grandison EXPECTED RELEASE DATE: July 13, 2021
I received an ARC from Lark & Owl Booksellers in exchange for an honest review.
Review: This is a cliche good girl, bad boy, enemies to lovers book....AND I AM HERE FOR IT! Guillermo is your ideal bad boy with a heart of gold and Regan is your typical people pleaser/ goody two shoe. I was team Guillermo this whole book and at one point I felt that he was too good for Regan’s flip floppy ass. This is book has been looking up others by this author. LOVE IT LOVE IT!

*thank you very much to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!*
Such a cute story! The bad guy meets nice girl combo is always a favorite. One character is rebellious and one is your typical A student, They are put together to help each other out and begin to grow fond of each other, Very relatable for young adults for sure. I enjoyed how this book showed both sides of the story as opposed to one perspective. We really got a good feel for what each character was dealing with and it didn't just paint Guillermo as a bad kid because of his past. I enjoyed getting to hear his thoughts and see through his eyes as well. This is different than most books I have read with this type of story line, as the 'bad' character is always made to be so mysterious they usually don't touch on their past until well into the book, but this one was a nice change. I think that so many aspects of the story are relatable to young teens. The way that this story describes the characters thoughts and feelings and also the things that the characters go through with their parents is so relatable.
This story has a lot of potential to be great but the writing could've been a little stronger. I can tell that this author has a lot of potential and I cannot wait to read more from them in the future.

This book wasn't bad but I kinda felt like I was reading the same thing as her previous one. It really didn't stick out with much. Honestly, was more interested in the side characters (who were not properly fleshed out) than the main ones.
