Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas
4.0

"Eventually we all have to weigh what we want more: wanting back what we had or wanting what could be. To stay or to risk everything to move forward."

I had stopped reading YA romance books because there was one book that completely ruined it for me. So, to say the least, I was EXTREMELY skeptical going into this book but I was so so happy to be wrong and find that this book did not disappoint me. It quite frankly got me out of my reading slump (which was terrible). ALSOOOOOO.... A+++ for the song playlist.

MISHA WAS EVERYTHING AND MORE, Misha was the entire book. I lovedddd loved loved Misha, I've always been a sucker for the "bad boys" and he was perfect, he was definitely the kind of guy a envisioned myself dating in high school. I think I'm gonna obsess and fangirl about Misha for a little while. Penelope did such a great job with the characters, that I really found myself wanting to knock some sense into Ryen like 3/4 of the book... Like GIRL WTFFFFFFFFFF! Can't say that I didn't love her temper and her quick comebacks and all the interactions between her and Misha.

This book was perfect, and I don't know if I wanna read another YA romance book (although I highly doubt this is categorized as YA... but you get the gist) because I wanna cherish the feel of this book forever. It made me laugh out loud so many times. This book was that good, so sweet, but so fiery and intense, and all the good things you could think of.
