RITA Award Winner, Best Young Adult Romance, 2010

When Brittany Ellis walks into chemistry class on the first day of senior year, she has no clue that her carefully created perfect life is about to unravel before her eyes. She's forced to be lab partners with Alex Fuentes, a gang member from the other side of town, and he is about to threaten everything she's worked so hard for her flawless reputation, her relationship with her boyfriend, and the secret that her home life is anything but perfect. Alex is a bad boy and he knows it. So when he makes a bet with his friends to lure Brittany into his life, he thinks nothing of it. But soon Alex realizes Brittany is a real person with real problems, and suddenly the bet he made in arrogance turns into something much more.

In a passionate story about looking beneath the surface, Simone Elkeles' breaks through the stereotypes and barriers that threaten to keep Brittany and Alex apart.

So this book is definitely YA. It's a little campy at times and the female lead definitely sounds and behaves like a teenage girl.
If you ever swooned over Westside Story you will swoon hard for this one. Alex will capture your heart. This is one bad boy with a heart of gold.
The thing I appreciated the most about this one is that Blas had an amazingly wonderful, authentic Latino accent. Perfect for the character and drop dead sexy.
The sexy times in this book are definitely high school and hardly inappropriate. Remember your first time? This book will remind you of you don't!

Definitely YA but a heart tugging story

The narrator’s voices are pretty annoying and they do not sound convincing most of the time but the story is sweet. Good for young adults.

Cheesy narration but good story

I own this book in paperback, so I had to get the audio book for work. I don't understand the bad reviews saying the female narrator sounding too much like a teenager.... Brittany is literally a teenager/child. Of course she's supposed to sound young, and get upset over little stuff. If Brittany was 30 I could understand the complaints, but come on guys use your common sense.

love this book

I always like a story when characters from different backgrounds meet and find they have more in common than they think they ever would, and end up helping each other out. The "chemistry" (haha) between the characters was good and she did a good job writing, however I didn't give it more stars because I didn't like all the crude language in it, I understand why it did, but it is young adult and thought it was too much.

Alex. Alex was just an amazing person he cared about Brittney and made Brittney fall for him when she didn't want to but ended out to be the right chemicals put together.
