Review: Pretty Reckless

Title: Pretty Reckless
Series: All Saints High series
Author: LJ Shen
Release Date: April 29


We were supposed to be best friends
But turned out to be worst enemies…

Penn
They say revenge is a dish best served cold
I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart was completely iced.
I took her first kiss.
She took the only thing I loved.
I was poor.
She was rich.
The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.
Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project.
Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.
Yeah, baby girl, say it—I’m your foster brother.
There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.
Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.

Daria
Everyone loves a good old unapologetic punk.
But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.
The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.
In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.
Four years ago, he asked me to save all my firsts for him.
Now he lives across the hall, and I want nothing more than to be his last everything.
His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.
Now? Now he is making me pay.



Oh my Marx! Where do I even begin with Pretty Reckless?

Daria Followhill is Queen Bee of All Saints High. She owns the school. She will walk all over anyone and everyone in her stilettos and not even think twice about it. Penn is from the wrong side of the tracks. Star football player for the rivaling team- and now living across the hall from Daria. She took the only thing he loved away, and now he's come to collect. Who will come out on top?


I loved every crazy second of this book. The teenage angst. The backstabbing, the mean girls, the banter. Every. Single. Thing. This book was an enemies to lovers, foster brother, slow burn, wrong side of the tracks, bad boy romance. The angst, and drama at an all time high. We finally get a look into the totholes lives- the second generation of hotholes- and what has become of their parents whom we fell in love with. And the totholes? They are giving their parents a run for their money. And as much as I didn't think I would like Daria- I was proven so very wrong. I felt for her. Yeah, she was the Queen Bee, but there was so much more to her. And of course, I fell for Penn- hard. But I haven't met an a-hole that LJ has written yet that I didn't love. I cannot wait to read more of the totholes- and fall in love all over again and again with these characters that have my heart completely. If you love angst and teen drama, if you love slow burn, and bad boys, if you love aholes and forbidden romances then you need to read this book. Think of the hotholes- 2.0 versions. 5 oh my Marx⭐ out of 5⭐.
