I would recommend reading this book if you get the chance.ĭisclaimer: I voluntarily read and reviewed a gifted and advanced copy of this book. I was getting major Nicola Yoon and Tashie Bhuiyan vibes from this book which is always a plus.
I love the way Grandison went out discussing these topics and blending them seamlessly into the plot. There were also a lot of great topics discussed in this book such as consent, boundaries, past hardships, and similar topics. He was just a fascinating character in general. There were layers to why things played out the way that they did in his life and why he was wanting to move on with his fresh start. He wasn’t just some juvie kid who needed a fresh start. I loved learning about him because there were so many layers to him. While he had had a rough go of things in the past, he was ready to start anew and make things right for his future. I think I was most interested in Guillermo. I was interested in getting to know Guillermo and Regan and seeing how their relationship would play out. Sometimes when books are slow, they’re also boring, but that wasn’t the case for this one. While this book did have a slow start, I still felt interested in the plot. This was an enjoyable read with lots of great themes/tropes like second chances, more than meets the eye, and opposites attract. But when it comes to the heart, sometimes you have to break the rules and be a little bit reckless… Being together might just get Guillermo sent away. But when the walls start to cave in and she finds unexpected understanding from the boy her parents warned about, she can’t ignore her feelings anymore. The pressure to stay in her “perfect” relationship and be the good girl all the time has worn her down. But when his work at the local community center throws him into the path of the one girl who is off-limits, friendship sparks…and maybe more. He’s done his time, and now he needs to right his wrongs.
New town, new school, and no more reckless behavior. Guillermo Lozano is getting a fresh start. They were supposed to ignore each other and respect that fine line between them… Sparks fly in this edgy own voices novel, perfect for fans of Sandhya Menon, S. He’s never met a rule he didn’t break… She’s followed the rules her whole life… When they meet, one golden rule is established: stay away.
