This is the story of Alex and Brittany, 2 young that nothing should have closer if not a combination of circumstance and an incredible attraction.
Britany is from a wealthy and recognized family, living in the southern neighborhoods = rich neighborhoods, and a girl who seems to smile: she is beautiful and intelligent popular sexy, has a boyfriend that everyone envy and frequent only people like him and revolving in the same circle.
Alex himself is from the northern districts = poor neighborhoods, it is Mexican, is part of a gang, lost his father, alongside violence regularly and do not hesitate to use also because he knows that anyway it has no future other than gangster.
This is the quintessential bad boys that everyone feared and who does everything for that.
He hates girls Brittany and it loves him back.
But here is a chemistry professor will decide otherwise and force them to work on a project together.
And that's how our 2 young people will gather to work together, but also will get to know, to understand and can finally realize that they have more in common than differences ...
A wonderful novel that one eats!
The meeting of two worlds, two cultures, two ways of living and thinking, but also a novel about tolerance, understanding, and sharing!
Moreover alternating viewpoints to each chapter is really happiness: Brittany and Alex enabling us to live each situation of each viewpoint so that one feels the emotions of each of our protagonists!
This book gave me butterflies in my stomach and especially me want to get me other books of Simone Elkeles.
