I just finished reading ‘Perfect Chemistry’ by Simon
Elkeles, and it was, I can’t find words to describe it, oh my gosh it’s just so
damn good. And I’m still crying up to this very moment. I didn’t expect it to
turn out to be captivating, and hilarious, and heart stomping and thrilling,
all at the same time. It’s like a mash-up of all my favorite flavors in one ice
cream. Funny thing the male lead has the same surname as I do, Alejandro
Fuentes and he is HOOOOOT that I felt somewhat awkward reading my last name on the
book. *giggles
At first, I thought
it was just another teenage book that circles on typical ups and downs of being
a teenager and being in a relationship but I was totally wrong, it was pieces
of blatant reality, weaved to a book.
The male lead Alejandro Fuentes is a gang member who has
this badass reputation that his schoolmates won’t even dare to look him in the
eye, or else they’ll get in to a not so pretty situation. It was the memory of
his father’s death that made him resentful of everything about life. He is
surely not the kind of guy your mother would allow you to date or even be
friends with, but surely the kind of guy that made girls swoon despite his
belligerent façade.
It was his senior year and he just planned on playing it
cool until graduation and then whatever will be will be, until one day in a
Chemistry subject, he was partnered with the school princess, Brittany Ellis
and everything just changed beyond his heart’s control. Brittany Ellis is the
perfect blonde princess of the school, she is the envy of any girl. On the
outside, she’s just as perfect as a fragile snowflake, a pretty face, a body to
die for, a smartass, a quarter back boy friend and a very well off family but
on the inside, she’s a warrior fighting for her personal battles.
As the two of them get to hate, get to know and get to adore
each other’s concealed flaws, they will just found themselves madly in love
with each other. And I found myself in love with the both of them as well. It
was a very great story, probably one of the few books that have etched into my
heart. One negative thing about the book, it had raised my expectation about
love and now I don’t know if I’ll ever have the chance to get married. Great
book, poor me.
Btw this is Alex Fuentes, as portrayed by Alexander Rodriguez. He is HOTNESS Mygas. *ovary explode
