Kiss Crush Collide by Christina Meredith

Goodreads – YA – December 27th 2011 by Greenwillow Books

Leah has the life most high school girls would kill for—popularity, glowing grades, a rich, athletic boyfriend. So why does she feel like she can’t breathe? And why can’t she stop thinking about the boy from the country club? The one who isn’t her boyfriend, the one that her mother would never, ever approve of, the one that her perfect older sisters would never, ever look at twice. The one who is always looking back at her. Irresistible attraction, smoldering glances, the bad boy and the good girl—Kiss Crush Collide has everything that a steamy forbidden romance should, and then some.

With graceful and honest writing and an electric love story, this is a book about growing into your own skin. For fans of Perfect Chemistry, Sarah Dessen, and John Green.

I know absolutely nothing about this book beyond the summary and the cover – and all I can see is Perfect Chemistry, Perfect Chemistry, Perfect Chemistry. And you know what? I’m kinda looking for a new Perfect Chemistry – so I’d be pretty damn happy if that’s what this book turns out to be like! I’m looking forward to hearing more about the author (this is her debut) and the novel closer to the release date.

Smoldering looks good girl bad boy, yup I am thinking this one could be intriguing. Great pick!
