Chain Reaction A Perfect Chemistry Novel Simone Elkeles Books

Chain Reaction is an exciting, engaging Fuentes family reunion! Much like his big brothers, Luis Fuentes is just as good looking, passionate, stubborn, and he's a head strong character who doesn't back down, from anything, which is both a strong character trait and his down fall. He's also become my favorite brother. I liked that like Alex, he's extremely intelligent. He's got book smarts and street smarts, and I really admired the goals he has set for himself in regards to which college he wanted to attend and what profession he wanted to work in. One of the things that sets Luis aside from his brothers is his adventurous, adrenaline junkie side. He definitely has a no fear mentality. Just like the women in Alex and Carlo's life, Luis meets his match with Nikki.

When Nikki is first introduced I felt emotionally attached to her as I found her story to be heartbreaking, but I admired the inner strength she has and also struggles with through out the story. The chemistry between Luis and Nikki is explosive! The passion between the two of them really heats up the pages. Their chemistry and tension is addicting and though they both have bright futures, they make mistakes that effect them and those around them. They have their fair share of trust issues to work out, and I liked the way their story was written, and how their relationship is developed. There are some fantastically written secondary characters who are there support them. I LOVED seeing the Fuentes family back together again. Until Luis, Alex has been my favorite brother, but Carlo's one liners and his attitude in this book were great and made snicker a few times.

I liked how Simone tied some of the characters together, like Nikki being the daughter of the surgeon who took the bullet out of Alex in Perfect Chemistry. There are a lot of things I like about this series. Simone's writing is so realistic and relatable for teens, because she tackles a lot of relatable issues ranging from class structure, prejudices, life on the other side of the tracks, sexuality, teen pregnancy, gangs, trust, loyalty etc. One of the things I loved about Chain Reaction is the unlikely role models there are. I like how Alex , Carlos and Luis have always been their for each other, and how their fierce loyalty as a family and their brotherly bond really comes into play in this book. Mrs Peterson, the infamous chemistry teacher and a new character, Reyes, a cop, who's not only Luis and his mom's landlord, but their next door neighbor also played an interesting role in the story and I liked how his back story tied into Chain Reaction.

Simone Elkeles writing is gritty, raw and she does such an amazing job with creating a story that's realistic and engaging. This is a great addition to a series I find hard to put down, and this time around she throws in some twists that I didn't even except. There's just something about the Fuentes brothers that leaves me interested in their stories. I feel like Mrs Peterson, and now I understand why she's so hard on these guys. Like her, I've become invested with their lives and I want to make sure they don't do anything to screw up their futures. Yes I know they're just fictional, but Simone writes their stories in way that makes them so believable. This is a book I'd definitely recommend to older YA readers. There is some mild violence, language, a lot of sexual context, and a few scenes between Luis and Nikki.

Chain Reaction A Perfect Chemistry Novel Simone Elkeles Books Reviews

Brittany Ellis is the most popular, perfect girl at Fairfield High school. She has to project the image that she and her family is perfect but she and her entire family has plenty of imperfections. Her mother is mean, her father is never mentally present whenever he is home, and her sister has a mental slowness. So Brittany has to pretend to be the most perfect girl in town.
Alex Fuentes is the most thoughtful and loving gang member you will ever meet. He pretends to be tough and mean but deep down he has a huge heart. He's in Latino Blood to keep his family safe, and younger brothers away from gangs. He never did anything for himself.
Throw them together in chemistry and force them to become partners, this happens

"'Miss Ellis?" Mrs. Peterson says. 'It's your turn. Introduce Alex to the class.'
'This is Alejandro Fuentes. When he wasn't hanging out on street corners and harassing innocent people this summer, he toured the inside of jails around the city, if you know what I mean. His secret desire is to go to college and become a chemistry teacher, like you, Mrs. Peterson.'
Brittany flashes me a triumphant smile, thinking she's won this round. Guess again, gringa.
'This is Brittany Ellis,' I sat, all eyes now focused on me. 'This summer she went to the mall, bought new clothes so she could expand her wardrobe, and spent her daddy's money on plastic surgery to enhance her, ahem, assets. Her secret desire is to date a Mexicano before she graduates.'
Game on..."

Slowly, the two of them realize there is more depth to the both of them than they allow anyone to see, and that they are more alike than anyone else they know. Brittany brings out the goodness in Alex and together they try to fight the odds even though they are from different sides of the tracks.
Alex takes a bet that he could get into Brittany's pants before Halloween. That is what starts his pursuit to the perfect barbie who he thought was as shallow as a kiddie pool. He didn't want ot lose Julio, his motorcycle he built by himself. They then begin to break down each other's walls and experience new things.
Simone brings to life two wonderful characters. This book teaches people to not judge a person based on rumors and appearance. It was beautiful to watch two unlikely people fall head over heals for each other. I felt their love as if it were my own.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves YA contemporary, forbidden love stories, or books that bring awareness about youth gang members and trying to find where you belong.
