The Right Side of Reckless follows our two main characters, there's Guillermo and Reagan. The former is the reckless type, ready to fight, and stands up to people who pick on people he cares about. Reagan is the opposite: a goody-two-shoes just trying to live up to her father's standards while trying to have her own choices. Of course, they aren't allowed to be together.

This was amazing, holy shit. The characters were so thought out and well-rounded. The side characters were not there just to drive the main characters' actions. The romance was slow-burn and adorable. 

I find many reviewers complaining about the length; however, I felt that these characters needed to be fleshed out, and having 413 pages was just the right length to do so. 

Would I read it again? Absolutely. Would I recommend it to everyone? Yes. Why did I not give it five stars? Because it's not quite a favorite book of all time, but one I supremely enjoyed.
