daria and penn...

What a cute, heart warming, and beautiful coming of age story, this world the author has built, these characters, and their struggles and shortcomings and successes ... i am invested.

I love each book i read and no i can't get enough. With each book, I am invested and am thrilled taking the journey through these characters who are family whether by blood or choice and seeing them struggle, fall, and rise again, and seeing their love on their sleeves for their ONE.

The All Saints world is my favorite and has a special place in my heart!

I decided to jump back into this series for a second time in preparation for Damaged Goods release in January. Let me tell you this book consumed me just as much the second time around. Pretty reckless is the first book in the All Saints High series. Which is a second gen series after Sinners of Saint. You do not have to read that series first but I think it makes it more special!!

Penn is the poor boy from the wrong side of the tracks who is just trying to make something out of himself in the football world. Daria Followhill is supposed to be the picture perfect daughter with the perfect family. The amount of angst, spice and drama is enough to reel in from the very beginning and have you hooked. Lj Shen has a way of writing that makes you feel all the emotions her characters feel. Daria and Penn are intense and you can just tell they are connected on a much deeper level. The banter. The spice. All of it. Just make this book

This one is hard for me to rate. It was not what I was expecting. I was hoping for more bantering. There were parts that didn't make since and sometimes it was hard to follow who was saying what because the author doesn't use he said, she said, etc. often. Overall, I did enjoy the story though.
