Perfect Chemistry

I am reading Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. It is a series , so there are two other books called Rules of Attraction , and Chain Reaction that follow up after Perfect Chemistry . For a romance book , I think this book is very intense , interesting and will keep you on the edge of your seat !

The book is about Alex Fuentes’s life . Alex is a Latino that is associated with a very dangerous gang called Latino Blood , and everyone at school knows this . On the first day of school, he walks into chemistry class and meets a beautiful girl named Brittany Elis . As the year goes on , they fall in love but There's one problem ! Brittany is from the North side of Chicago which is very rich and classy, meanwhile Alex is from the South , which is poor and mostly surrounded by gang violence .

The people from the North aren't suppose to date people from the South because they think they are too good for them . Brittany falls in love with Alex knowing he's trouble . One day , something terrible happens to Alex due to gang violence in a life or death situation .

I really enjoyed reading this book a lot . It was connected to my culture and was very intense which made me want to read more . This book was written for her family and I think most of the audience would love this book as much as I do! I think all of you should read this book if you're into romance mystery , I promise you won't regret it !

Perfect Chemistry

The book I read is called Perfect Chemistry which is written by Simone Elkeles. Perfect Chemistry is actually the first book to start her trilogy. The other two books are named Rules Of Attraction and Chain Reaction. In my opinion, they’re both pretty good as well. They are romance novels with a lot of interesting turns.

Perfect Chemistry is about a girl named Brittany who is seen as the “perfect girl” in everyone’s eyes. Alejandro, who goes by alex, on the other hand, is from ‘the wrong side of the tracks’. Brittany is from wealthy side of town and Alex, on the other hand, is from ‘the other side of the tracks’. He is portrayed as the mean, big and bad thug. Brittany is from the wealthy side of town and Alex is on the other side. They both immediately hated each other, which i get considering how they are so different. One day Alex was talking to his friends and they were talking about Brittany. One of Alex’s friends bet Alex that if he can “get” with Brittany, if you know what i mean, before Halloween, that he would give Alex his car.

I really liked this book because it has so many twists and turns that you just don't expect. The author really makes sure to hook you from the start. The book involves so many conflicts, happy moments, VERY sad moments, family problems, betrayal, ex’s, and where there’s ex’s there's drama. I think teens and young adults would really enjoy this book. Do you think Alex will win the bet? Will he start having feelings for Brittany? What happens after the bet? Guess you’ll just have to read it to find out.

Perfect Chemistry

The book I read was Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. Perfect Chemistry is only the first book, the other two are Rules of Attraction and Chain Reaction.

Brittany Ellis has a perfect life. Her boyfriend Collin and her are the perfect couple of the school. Then there’s Alex, the gang member that gets in trouble with the law. Brittany and Alex are paired up to do a chemistry project, whenever Alex and Brittany are near each other all they do is fight. Alex makes a bet with his friends, trying to win over Brittany and get in between her life.

I liked this book because it made me want to read it everyday, It kept me entertained and focused on what was happening in the book. The audience of the book I think is teenagers. If you are interested in romance books then this book is something you should definitely read.

Perfect Chemistry

The book i read was a novel called Perfect Chemistry. This is the first book of the Perfect Chemistry series. There are two other books in this series called Rules Of Attraction and Chain Reaction. There is also going to be a fourth book coming out soon, but it is yet to be known. This book is about two students that have started their senior year at their high school, but are two very different people. A boy named Alex Fuentes who is from the other side of the town, is a bad boy, and is also in a gang. A girl named Brittany Ellis who is smart, pretty, is part of the cheer team, has a boyfriend, and lives in the rich side of town. The theme of this book is to focus on deeper aspects of something than the most easily identified parts and also breaking stereotypes.

The book is about Alex Fuentes and Brittany Ellis and their two different lifestyles. On their first day of school of chemistry class, Brittany and Alex were forced to sit together as that will be their assigned seats for the whole year. When a project comes up they are told to be lab partners. When Alex's friends make a bet with him that he will be able to get Brittany to be his girl before a certain amount of time, thinking of it as fun and games, as soon as he starts to get close to her he finds out she is not a rich perfect girl after all. She has many secrets to her life that lies behind her image and knowing she is more than that. Brittany learns a lot of about Alex too, knowing he is in a gang to protect his family but wants to be out and has secrets that lie upon his past. Soon the thinking of fun and games of a bet has now turned into something more. But will Brittany secrets be fixed? Will Alex be able to leave his gang? Can two different people that live one two different part of town's be together?  

I really likes this book because every chapter was interesting and some parts were very intense that it just wanted me to keep reading and reading it. I suggest this book to the people who love reading novel and romantic books because this is what the book is all about! I would recommend you all to read the series and also the author's other books because i hear they are very good.

Perfect Chemistry

My book report is on Perfect Chemistry, written by Simone Elkeles. This book follows the lives of several characters, specifically Brittany Ellis and Alex Fuentes. They are two teenagers that discover what true love really is by experiencing having to accept each other’s striking differences and hobbies. 

Senior Brittany Ellis is forced to be lab partners with Alex Fuentes, a gang member from the opposite side of town from where she lives. Brittany doesn’t want to ruin her perfect reputation so she doesn’t want anything to do with Alex. Her home life isn’t so great but she has to make sure no one knows because to everyone else she is absolutely perfect. Alex being part of her life could ruin everything she made perfect.

Alex gets into a bet with his friends that he can get Brittany to like him. Alex, being a bad boy accepts this challenge. At first this is just a bet to him but as he gets to know her he starts to fall in love with her which is not supposed to happen. Alex realizes that Brittany is just a normal person with problems just like him. He starts to notice that not everything goes perfect for her. As she gets more normal to him the more he falls in love with her.

This book grabs my attention right away. I don’t want to stop reading but at the same time I don’t want to read because I don’t want it to end. The characters are very well explained throughout the story. All the characters from the past story play a part in this story which is very nice. Overall this book is one of my favorite story’s.

Chain Reaction

This book review is about the book Chain Reaction. The author of this book is Simone Elkeles. The book compares to the other books in the series because the author follows the characters’ lives through several generations. This story is about to teenagers learning about trust and faith in their true love. They go through many hardships trying to stay together.

Luis Fuentes loves to take risks because it gives him a trill. Even if it means he has to climb a mountain without a harness, Luis is always trying to find the next big excitement.

Nikki Cruz lives by the saying never trust a guy that tells you he loves you because he’s just trying to use you. This is because her last boyfriend really hurt her with the words “I love you”. When she meets Luis (a boy from her High School) at first she doesn’t give him the time of day because to her he’s just another boy who’s going to try and use her. Slowly she starts to fall in love with him and wants to start trusting him with the words “I love you”.

Luis really wants to get Nikki to like him but that’s going to be a really big challenge because he knows she doesn’t go out with guys that are in gangs that do drug deals. Luis happens to be in a gang that does drug deals. Will Luis leave his gang to be with Nikki or will Nikki learn to except that he’s in a gang because she loves him?

This book is one of my favorite books. Within the first few pages the story quickly snatches your attention because it starts out with a daring adventure with a main character. The two significantly different environments the two main characters live in are very interesting. The struggles both of them go through to try and be together catches my full attention. Each and every character is described fantastically and they all have a significant role in the story.
