I got this book during the one of the Stuff Your Kindle Days. The cover looked interesting as well as the blurb basically describing it like a Grease re-telling. I liked it but wanted more.  

This book has two points of view. The first is Alexandria and she is still reeling from the death of her father, and she is hoping to find both independence and reprieve from her grief by heading off to college. However, life throws her a serious curveball when she discovers that her roommate isn’t quite the person she imagined. The second point of view is Elijah, and his only interests are smoking, tattoos and street racing for fast cash. He has had a harsh life which has made him apathetic and indifferent until he meets Alexandria. When their paths cross, turmoil abounds.  

I liked Alex’s character growth and how she went from this shy girl who didn’t know how to break up with her toxic boyfriend and wasn’t really speaking to her mum and she relied way too much on her best friend from home to standing up against some random jerk and breaking it off with her boyfriend and talking to her mum about the difficult conversations. Elijah took a while to grow on me as with most bad boys they don’t know how to communicate their feelings until it’s too late. Once you know his story though, you understand why he acts the way he does, and you are sort of hoping that he does grow up. I enjoyed Seth’s one liners, for example “you’ve got a room. Two actually, use one.” that made me chuckle.  

I loved the friendship group and wanted to see more of them. Besides Seth calling out Elijah’s bullshit and Lexy being Alex’s only other friend, I wanted to see more of the group dynamic of them together. I felt like there was only a few chapters of all together and it was like thanksgiving or a few of the race nights and that was it. There were things that were left unsaid, and I wanted to know more. Did Emma and Seth hit it off? Why was Alex ill? Was it stress or was it the start of the pregnancy? Where did Clara go? What happened with Liam? What did Alex’s mum think of Jimmy? Did Nolan end up leaving them alone? The ending seemed a little rush especially with Elijah going to the hospital not for racing but for a car accident?  

Overall, it was an alright book, I was just hoping for more, I've seen that there is a second book in this series, so I'm interested in how they are going to do it.
