Book description
That first day of senior year hits Brittany Ellis like a punch. She's got her perfect life locked down-good grades, a steady boyfriend, a secret home life she's desperate to keep hidden. Then she walks into chemistry class and gets stuck with Alex Fuentes, the gang member from the other side of town. He's all bad-boy swagger, and he's definitely not the guy she's supposed to be paired with. But this isn't just another school project-it's a bet Alex makes with his friends, a game to pull Brittany into his world. What starts as a reckless dare quickly unravels into something real, messy, and terrifyingly beautiful. Simone Elkeles, a New York Times bestselling author and RITA Award winner, doesn't just tell us about Brittany and Alex's collision; she makes you feel every heartbeat, every whispered secret, every moment they're both trying to hide who they really are.
And the audiobook? It's pure magic. You don't just read their tension-you hear it. The narrator captures Brittany's quiet desperation and Alex's rough-edged charm with perfect nuance. You hear the crack in his voice when he's not pretending, the way Brittany's breath catches when he says something unexpected. The chemistry (yes, that's intentional!) isn't just in the plot-it's in the way their voices blend in your headphones, pulling you deeper into their world of secrets and sudden, shocking connection. It's impossible not to lean in, to feel the heat of their arguments, the vulnerability in their quiet moments.
This isn't just another teen romance. Elkeles shatters stereotypes with raw honesty. She shows us that people aren't defined by labels-by "gang member" or "perfect girl"-but by the messy, real choices they make when they finally see each other. The tension isn't just about if they'll be together; it's about whether they can trust themselves enough to try. And the audiobook makes that emotional journey visceral, immediate. You're right there in that classroom, in that car, feeling every ounce of their fear and hope.
Simone Elkeles knows teen love because she's lived it-she's been there, with spiked hair and blue eye shadow (and maybe a little sushi). Her award-winning storytelling brings authenticity that resonates. This isn't just a story about falling for someone dangerous. It's about finding yourself in the middle of the storm, and realizing the most perfect thing might be the one you never expected. Press play, and let this unforgettable love story pull you in. Don't miss out on the audiobook that turns a classic romance into something entirely, thrillingly new. You'll be hooked before the first chapter ends.
