In real life Brittany hates her home life, her sister who she loves more than anyone is handicapped, her mom is always after her, her dad is never home, her parents expect her to be perfect, and her parents want to sent Britanny´s little sister away. Alex Fuentes is mexican, he lives with his mother and 2 brother, and is the man in the house. He is also a member of the Latino blood gangs. In real life he doesn´t want to be a member, but he does it so his brothers don´t have to and to protect his family. They both live an go to the same high school in Fairfield. Alex lives on the south, with the others not rich people and Brittany on the north with the rich. The two of them get paired as chemistry partners, eventhough they don´t like each other, and Alex makes a bet with his friends that he can have sex with Brittany before halloween, and if he looses he has to give his beloved motorcycel to one of his friends. But eventhoug it s just a bet he begins to like her and the other way around. He accept her family and her his. Brittany eventually breaks up with her boyfriend and begins kind of secretly dating Alex, he even takes her to his cousins wedding, where Brittany gets an opportunity to get better along with his mom. She also has sex with Alex and Alex eventually finds out who killed his father, and tries to get out of the gang for Brittanny.

A sweet and hard book, about family´s and different cultures and love. And such a good ending. And i totally love Mrs P. and her stupid rules and opinion. Things that made Perfect Chemistry good: Bad boy/good girl dynamic? Check. Some hot romance? Check. A gang, death and guns that might come in the way of the couple’s happiness? Check. Totally different people falling in love despite what everyone thinks? Check. = A really good read and story. :) Really loved it and looking forward to reading the second.
