When Brittany Ellis walks into chemistry class on the first day of senior year, she has no clue that her carefully created 'perfect' life is about to unravel before her eyes. She's forced to be lab partners with Alex Fuentes, a gang member from the other side of town, and he is about to threaten everything she's worked so hard for: her flawless reputation, her relationship with her boyfriend, and the secret that her home life is anything but perfect.
Alex is a bad boy and he knows it. So when he makes a bet with his friends to lure Brittany into his life, he thinks nothing of it. But soon Alex realizes Brittany is a real person with real problems, and suddenly the bet he made in arrogance turns into something much more.

5 Platypires of Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles
A while back I asked on the Platypire Reviews Facebook page recommendations with Hispanic leads and Perfect Chemistry was one of the books mention. I am so glad to have been able to pick it up at my neighborhood bookstore cause after the first chapter I knew I was going to like it.
This book sucked me and and I read it all in one day. I just couldn't put it down. I love the Latin aspect of the book and the mix of Spanish. I don't think it would be hard to follow for those who do not know the language because phrases were immediately translated.
Perfect Chemistry is a great tale of a forbidden love with a lot of teen drama. I was rooting for the couple the whole time and their stories were so engaging. I loved the writing and can't wait to read the next book in the series. Also I freaking loved the epilogue and giggled out loud which never happens.
