Carlos Fuentes isn't happy about leaving Mexico to start the "new" life his older brother, Alex, has planned for him.Carlos liked his freedom; living life on the edge - just like Alex did.
Kiara Westford doesn't talk much; instead preferring to shut out the world. And when Carlos bounds into her life she struggles to understand him. Carlos is sure that Kiara thinks she's too good for him, which is just fine because he's not interested anyway, right? But when they finally open up to each other, the connection they feel shocks them both. Can they overcome their fears and realise that sometimes opposites really do attract?
'Elkeles once again delivers a steamy page-turner bound to make teens swoon' School Library Journal
'If Perfect Chemistry was good, Rules of Attraction is better! ...fans of Perfect Chemistry need to read this book, and those who haven't read Perfect Chemistry need to get their hands on both pronto!' Once Upon a Bookcase
'Elkeles has perfected the way she writes these novels, because like its predecessor, the writing is fast paced and make for easy reads because they never dwindle too much on unnecessary factors.' The Crooked Shelf
'A high recommendation for all fans of teen romance - and there's enough depth to it and action, coupled with a fairly gritty feel, that I can also see it appealing to many people who normally wouldn't look twice at this genre.' The Bookbag
We fall in love for those who we least expect it.
Although the characters are brilliant and didn’t give Carlos a headache, it lacks that strong pull on the plot compared to the first book. The story focuses more on how Carlos is a rebellious teenager. It wasn’t really clear how he got out of his old gang or how he got in the first time. Meanwhile, Kiara is suffering from stuttering, although I don’t know what caused it, it was not explained why she has it or no psychological or deeper meaning as to why Kiara stutters. With or without it, it doesn’t have any impact on the story. It would be better if there’s a history to it – how she got it, was it from trauma, a bad childhood or dark past so that Carlos can help Kiara overcome it.
