Pretty Reckless

De: L.J. Shen

Narrado por: Angela Goethals, Maxine Mitchell, Michael Crouch

We were supposed to be best friends....

But turned out to be worst enemies.

Penn

They say revenge is a dish best served cold.

I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart was completely iced.

I took her first kiss.

She took the only thing I loved.

I was poor.

She was rich.

The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.

Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project. Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.

Yeah, baby girl, say it - I’m your foster brother.

There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.

Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.

Daria

Everyone loves a good old, unapologetic punk.

But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.

The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.

In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.

Four years ago, he asked me to save all my firsts for him.

Now he lives across the hall, and I want nothing more than to be his last everything.

His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.

Now? Now he is making me pay.

LOVED

Was in the mood for some teenage angst and drama and this book over delivered. LJ Shen is a brilliant writer and she deserves every bit of success she has.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Welcome back to All Saints High ...

I swear, nobody else writes angst like LJ does. This book was so compulsively readable, I couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to see what’s next for this generation of All Saints kids. I think the next one will break my heart.

Is Peter Parker the narrator?

First, I LOVE all of L.J. Shen’s books especially this series.
Second, this book is one of my favorites from the series. Very well written. Interesting story line and plot. Great narrators. The whole sha-bang.

Third, the second I heard Michael Crouch (Penn) I immediately thought is this Peter Parker? Is this the OG Peter Parker (whose name I have forgotten) lol
Definitely not a bad thing! And it’s SO refreshing to actually hear a young sounding voice for a young character. Usually the male voices are always so mature sounding so this was a great surprise!

Audio review

FLOVED it! it was an amazing story and while i may have gone out of order reading totholes before hotholes, i ADORED every second of it.

LOVE

This is my favorite of this series. Even though many of the traits are more exaggerated in Daria's character I feel like many girls/women at some point in their life can relate to her insecurities and feelings of feeling less than. I also love the character development in this book. I just love this series & seeing where the children of the characters in the SOS series are. Love it! Love this author!!
