Thanks to Netgalley for this copy of Bad Girl Reputation ARC in exchange for an honest review! I’ve been obsessed with Elle Kennedy since I read The Deal by her, so I was super excited to start Bad Girl Reputation. It definitely earned its 4/5 stars!

Bad Girl Reputation, the second book in the Avalon Bay series, focuses on Evan and Gen after these two high school sweethearts reunite… but calling them sweethearts may be a misleading statement. Their wild adventures throughout high school and beyond came to an abrupt halt when Gen left town. Now that she’s back and trying to fix her bad girl reputation, both her and Evan have to reevaluate their relationship as adults.

The growth of the two characters as the book goes on was really interesting to see and I would love a novella on all their adventures in high school and after. However, seeing them as adults and having to adjust their relationship as they’ve grown up (and seeing if that’s even possible) was really great to read about. People change, and the underlying theme of the book is about growing apart but also growing together. Another great read by Elle Kennedy and I can’t wait to see what’s next in this series!
