![]() ![]() ![]() Especially Guillermo – his inner monologue is so self-aware I frequently forgot he was just a teenager. ![]() I’ve read adult romances with less mature characters than Regan and Guillermo. My biggest complaint is that though this book really does a good job of handling issues that teenagers will likely empathize with, the characters read as way older than they are. I think it tackles questions that teenagers care about – like what to do when your parents have a specific vision for you and you aren’t interested in that version of your life at all, or how do you come back from a big mistake? Regan and Guillermo are both dealing with things that all teenagers go through on some level – disappointing your parents or feeling like nobody knows who you are, really. Regardless of my complete ignorance of what to talk about in this review, I really did enjoy The Right Side of Reckless. The Right Side of Reckless is the very first young adult contemporary novel I’ve reviewed, and as I was reading it, it occurred to me I have no idea how to review YA contemporary! I’ve reviewed plenty of YA fantasy before, and there’s a lot to talk about there in terms of world building and such, and I’ve reviewed adult romance novels, but I feel sketchy talking about young adult characters in the same way I would for an adult book. ![]()
