Rules of Attraction by Simone Elkeles


The sequel to Perfect Chemistry has ooooo, so much teen appeal! Carlos Fuentes is back, strutting his stuff around Boulder, Colorado, acting tough but trying to stay out of trouble. His mom has sent him to live with his brother, but that doesn't work out very well when he's caught with drugs in his school locker. "That's not mine," says Carlos, but someone planted it and someone wants Carlos, even as he's trying to escape his former gang life. He doesn't quite fit in in the Boulder world of preppy kids, but Kiera helps. She is his peer leader the first week of school and eventually her father takes Carlos in. Nothing like having a cute boy living in the next bedroom, right? The romance in this novel is mesmerizing and I was cheering for Kiera every time she took a stand against Carlos and his tough-acting ways.
