A review by biblioemily
The Right Side of Reckless by Whitney D. Grandison
3.0
*Thank you to Edelweiss & Inkyard Press for the ARC*
3 stars.
The positives: it's set in Akron, OH. All main characters and secondary characters are POC. Discussion of consent and losing one's virginity.
The negatives: this book is way too long. The writing is very cheesy in some sections, and the narration and dialogue is not very natural and certainly not how teens speak. The author is trying to sneak a lot of explanation into the main characters' internal dialogue and it just doesn't work. Major plot points (like Regan's choice of elective after dropping accounting) are so obvious early on in the text.
