I have had this book on my TBR pile for some time now. This started a bit slow for me, but once I got into the story I was absolutely unable to put this book down. I ended up completely loving it.
The chemistry (no pun intended) between the two main characters is excellent. The situations they are in are tough and you end up really pulling for them and getting engaged in their lives. I was surprised at how completely I was sucked into this story and pulled into these characters' lives.
This is a retelling of West Side Story. Alex is in a gang and lives a completely different life from Brittany. Brittany is your typical high society girl with all the privileges that come with being white and rich. Except that as the story continues you find out that neither Alex nor Brittany are typical anything. Despite their very different lives and upbringing, they face very similar struggles and this is the area where they really connect.
Overall I absolutely loved this book. It was a sweet and romantic coming of age story, with an interesting story, and engaging characters. It was absolutely impossible for me to put this book down once I started reading it; the story sucked me in hard and fast. I would recommend to those who enjoy new adult contemporary fiction with a heavy dose of romance. I will definitely be picking up the next two books in this series to read.
