I think the point with these characters was to transcend the stereotypes, to get behind the images they both project, but the way it was done was a little stereotypical as well. You know, perfect girl whose home life is secretly not perfect. Her mother is kind of a bitch, and her older sister is disabled. But secretly, her life is less than perfect. Perhaps some people really do call it that though I’ve never heard the expression, or maybe it’s something different, not that it matters. She’s rich and beautiful and blonde and captain of the “pom squad.” Which as far as I know is the cheerleading team so I’m not sure why they called it that. Brittany spends way too much time cultivating her perfect image. Unsurprisingly, he’s secretly really smart, also trouble, and wants to protect his family. Alex Fuentes is a Latino gang member from the bad side of town (town being a Chicago suburb). Anyway, forget my personal issues with epilogues.Īlex Fuentes and Brittany Ellis are, as I said, entirely stereotypical. The epilogue of the last Harry Potter book, well, I just like to pretend that one didn’t exist.

I loved it! Although I might have left the epilogue off. But by the time I finished reading this book my opinion of it totally changed. For quite a good number of pages, I wanted to strangle both of the main characters for being such walking stereotypes. When Chuy reveals a disturbing secret about Luis's family, the youngest Fuentes finds himself questioning everything he's ever believed to be true.Perfect Chemistryis not a book I loved from the first page. Getting Nikki to take a chance on a south sider is Luis's biggest challenge, until he finds himself targeted by Chuy Soto, the new head of the Latino Blood. Then she meets Luis at Alex's wedding, and suddenly, she's tempted to break all her rules. Her parents may be from Mexico, but as a doctor's daughter, she has more in common with her north-side neighbors than the Latino Blood at her school. Nikki Cruz lives her life by three rules-boys lie to get their way, don't trust a boy who says 'I love you,' and never date a boy from the south side of Fairfield. But that didn't stop him from taking risks-whether he's scaling a mountain in the Rockies or dreaming of a future as an astronaut, Luis can't stop looking for the next thrill. Luis Fuentes has always been sheltered from the gang violence that nearly destroyed his brothers' lives. The third book in this New York Times bestselling series-an urban twist on a star-crossed love story St Joseph's University (Brooklyn Voices Series).
