The Right Side of Reckless by Whitney D. Grandison
2.0
Personally, this book took me quite long to finish, especially for a contemporary novel.
The premise was simple and it was mainly about a boy's path to redemption in his life after one incident that had led his family having to move to start anew, and a girl who's very dissatisfied in her life. Simply put, they help each other, despite there being obligations from both their lives, such as pressure from family and friends, to stay away.
With that said, the plot was a little too flat for me. I found myself struggling to find the right place to stop and continue reading, and I found the plot to be predictable and dull.
Were the characters relatable? Yes. I just found that they could have been greater if the plot had served more in their character development, and that it didn't just occupy the last 15% of the book.
Overall, light-read, forbidden romance, dog rescues, and appreciation of Hip-hop and R&B music.
