Perfect Chemistry

About six months ago, if you had asked me what my favorite genre of books were, I would have said mystery/suspense.
That was before Twilight came along.
I've also read a plethora of romance novels. Not necessarily because of the "outstanding" plot lines, because lets face it, they're all predictable. The stories are almost always the same, the details just vary a bit; the big picture is usually the same. But they're quick, cheap, and actually interesting even if they do all end the same.
But I love to read, so I will attempt to read pretty much anything you put in front of me. It seems as if Twilight has changed me a bit. I usually try to steer clear of young adult, I don't know why, I just do. I've never found much joy in reading about the lives of kids in high school, but evidentally, all it takes is the right plot to catch my attention. Like Twilight. :)

I read Perfect Chemistry, by Simone Elkeles yesterday. It was really good actually. I may have enjoyed partly because it is more intense than your normal young adult novel. It may also be in part because of the similarites I see in my own life.
NO, I'm not rich or perfect. And NO my boyfriend of seven years wasn't in a gang.
But we couldn't have been more opposite. From who we hung out with, to the music we listened to. We really didn't have anything in common. After all these years of being around each other has changed us, and we do have a whole hell of a lot in common now. But that isn't the point.

As I read the things Alex said in the book, I literally had flash backs to the way Russell was when he was "chasing" I guess you could call it.

So maybe my reasons for liking the book so much have more to do with my life than with the story, but I would still recommend it. :)
