Definitely YA but a heart tugging story

So this book is definitely YA. It's a little campy at times and the female lead definitely sounds and behaves like a teenage girl.
If you ever swooned over Westside Story you will swoon hard for this one. Alex will capture your heart. This is one bad boy with a heart of gold.
The thing I appreciated the most about this one is that Blas had an amazingly wonderful, authentic Latino accent. Perfect for the character and drop dead sexy.
The sexy times in this book are definitely high school and hardly inappropriate. Remember your first time? This book will remind you of you don't!

Cheesy narration but good story

The narrator’s voices are pretty annoying and they do not sound convincing most of the time but the story is sweet. Good for young adults.

Love this series

I can honestly admit that I have heard this audible multiple times and absolutely love it.
I love Alex and Britt they are adorable!

love this book

I own this book in paperback, so I had to get the audio book for work. I don't understand the bad reviews saying the female narrator sounding too much like a teenager.... Brittany is literally a teenager/child. Of course she's supposed to sound young, and get upset over little stuff. If Brittany was 30 I could understand the complaints, but come on guys use your common sense.

Enjoyed it more than I had expected I would.

S

I always like a story when characters from different backgrounds meet and find they have more in common than they think they ever would, and end up helping each other out. The "chemistry" (haha) between the characters was good and she did a good job writing, however I didn't give it more stars because I didn't like all the crude language in it, I understand why it did, but it is young adult and thought it was too much.

Perfect Chemistry!

Any additional comments?

Loved it! I really enjoyed this story of two people overcoming obstacles despite being from different social backgrounds. Love conquers all! Definitely of perfect chemistry.

Best Book Ever!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Perfect Chemistry to be better than the print version?

I thought the audio version was better than print. they made the characters real and made me see how they can make them into real life character's

Who was your favorite character and why?

Alex. Alex was just an amazing person he cared about Brittney and made Brittney fall for him when she didn't want to but ended out to be the right chemicals put together.

Have you listened to any of Roxanne Hernandez and Blas Kisic ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've never but this was my first it was amazing how they brought the character's to live and made me imagined what they were like I even dreamt them together.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, It made me cry, laugh, scream with excitement and kept me from putting it down. I give a thousand stars to whoever made the book.
