Good Story!

This was a good book, but I definitely struggled with the performances. Somehow the voices didn't really seem to capture the true characters.

A must read

Loved this story . It will make you smile and cry . It's one of those books you can't put down. Buy it today. You will love it.

Perfect Chemistry a great story!!!!

A absolutely great Story!!! it was not the usual story line of boy gets girl with just a causal conflict
with some teen angst,
but it was a very good one from young adults to mature theme.
I couldn't stop listen
had to hear it all in one sitting and I enjoyed litening to it very much!!!

Love

This is one of my favorite book ii have read it like 6 times. Alex seems really sexy and I love it

Love the story, but not good narration

I love this series so much, it's definitely top 3 for me. The story is so interesting, I love interracial romance and bad boy characters and this is so well written. Brittany and Alex captivate you, they have so much depth and are very real. They both appear a certain way on the surface, but are totally different inside. They also have friends who care about them and friends who betray them. The romance is well paced, starts out with mutual attraction but they don't like the other, but as they see into each other's worlds, the attraction turns into love.
I didn't really like the audiobook, The woman did a terrible male voice when she was imitating Alex or any other guy. The man sounded too old for a high school kid and just didn't fit Alex's gang member persona. I highly recommend reading the physical for this. Fun, quick, great read!

Sooo good!!

Absolutely amazing, love this book. When I first read it I fell in love with it! Hearing the audio version was great!

Love this book😍

I’ve already read the whole series and have all three books on paperback. The female & male narrators are not bad and it’s nice to listen to the book. It would have been beyond great if it was a duet narration tho ☺️

I'm a sucker for this trilogy

this book it such a wonderful story. I've read this about 30 times and still absolutely love it. the character development is wonderful and Alex is such a Hottie!!

Perfect Chemisty has perfect chemistry.

I wasn't sure if I would like this book. It was recommended to me, so I thought I would take a chance and buy it. Now, I am glad that I did.

Two diffrent narrators were used to tell the story. And I think that that made the book even better.

There are some very adult themes in this book, even though it is suppose to be a Young Adult book. Maybe, more like an "Older Young Adult" book. LOL
Enjoy.

A very interesting story...

I love this book, and this series. However, I disliked how the woman, Roxanne Hernandez, read Brittany's part. She made her sound more whiny and more like an airhead than she needed to be. Depending on how the book is read, its easy to change the voice of a character, and how they're perceived. Regardless of that fact, the book is very good and definitely worth it.
Looking for a dark, non-abusive romance? This is definitely the book for you. There were a couple plot twists, that could possibly be seen as obvious but interesting nonetheless.
