The Lovely Reckless

A star-crossed lovers story set in the Maryland suburbs of DC, The Lovely Reckless chronicles the challenge-filled romance between a former private school girl from the wealthy neighborhood and an embattled boy from the poor neighborhood. While a page-turner, there were a few too many cheesy moments and a serious case of insta-love that detracted a bit from the overall book. However, I enjoyed the variety of characters and the sweetness of the relationship between Frankie and Marco. A fun YA read that will also appeal to fans of car racing.
