The Lovely Reckless by Kami Garcia

1.0

I did manage to complete the book. However this "romeo x juliet" esque book was very lacking. It had racey scenes like it was trying to appeal to older teens, but the writing and conversations felt like it should have been set in middle school. Definitely played on a cheesy side of romance to the point of being humorous. The bad boy thing wasn't well built either. He seemed to just be a good guy with the mask of a bad boy with how much they had to verify his actions, "he beat this guy up because of this reasoning" and "he's doing this illegal action because he had no other choice!". His best friend fit the "bad boy" appeal better than the main love interest did.
