Southside High

This book made my head spin (in a good way!) with its breakneck pace.

Loved Jackson (and loved a YA from male POV) and his romance with Holly, his feelings for her a major motivator throughout the book for his actions.
I like a book grounded in solid conflict.

I also like interesting, layered secondary characters and Tempest had that in spades.

From an author's perspective, I'm in awe of how Julie Cross kept the plot timeline fluid in this book. Would've been a huge challenge to write! Kudos.

And it's definitely a ‘film' book, one I can see playing out on the big screen.
