A review by herbookish_obsession
The Right Side of Reckless by Whitney D. Grandison

4.0

When a bad lad finds a decent girl who never does anything wrong, it's a match made in heaven! The concept of polar opposites, the subject of foes to friends and friends to lovers, and the sizzling, enticing chemistry! Sign me up! This promising composition always makes me grin and warms my icy cold blood, which is becoming harder by the day after binge-reading mind-bending thrillers! I really want a romantic remedy to lift my gloomy mood! I knew it would be a bad boy x nice girl romance as I started reading it. That's OK; I enjoy that genre. What I hadn't anticipated was how different this would read from other romance novels. The majority of "bad lads" consume alcoholic beverages, smoke cigarettes, or even commit murder. Guillermo, on the other hand, had made a few errors. I adored Guillermo, and I adored the unique perspective. This narrative had me completely engrossed! I became linked to the characters and became enraged when I was meant to. I loved how this book discussed "bad" students, those who go to juvie or get into trouble, and how many of them genuinely want to improve. We witness how the "bad kid" is continuously condemned for his past, despite the fact that he is a far better person than certain others (no spoilers!). I really like seeing a teen who was hesitant and extremely adolescent-like! It's difficult to stand up for yourself and put your foot down when you're being treated unfairly, therefore I sympathized with Regan, our protagonist.
