P is also for Paradise City :-)

Paradise City (Paradise, #1)Paradise City by C.J. Duggan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really loved this book. It was so cute. 🙂

When Lexie Atkinson is in 11th grade, her parents decided she should move to the city, live with her aunt and uncle and attend a real high school. As a home schooled student, Lexie is extra excited about the promise of living in a place called Paradise City and has it all blown up in her mind before she ever arrives.

As a child, she and her cousin, Amanda, had been really close. She was looking forward to continuing that relationship but the first thing she discovers is that Amanda doesn’t want to have anything to do with her.

When they go to check out the school, the principal yells to a boy named Ballantine, the school’s resident bad boy. Lexie sees him and is smitten.

The story is about Lexie trying to fit into her new surroundings. She bumbles along getting into trouble but trouble comes with Ballantine, too, and their relationship grows.

I read this book really quickly because it was fun to see what trouble Lexie was going to get into next. The book ends on a cliffhanger and I’m looking forward to reading the next installment.
