Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles
4.0

My roommate was adamant that I needed to read this book. And I'm pleased to say she was right. I can see why this was an important novel when she was beginning her journey of reading in her teen years.

This is a classic addition to YA romance. Star-crossed lovers from opposite sides of the tracks. This is a great story centered around learning how to grow up and navigate the confusing and sometimes dangerous world we live in. While the main romance isn't always perfect, it does a good job at showing the tumultuous roller coaster ride that can happen when teenagers are beginning to learn what romantic love can be like.

By many standards, it reads as pretty cliche. But when it was published in 2009, it would've been so engaging and novel for readers.

This story contains spice and suspense, which keeps you hanging on.
