"Wild Cards" was a quick, easy read about antagonistic love. Unlike most YA romances, this book didn't dwell on teenage angst. Instead it was fun and light-hearted. Derek and Ashtyn were both strong characters with personal hurts, and each had a voice which gave the reader a good insight into their thoughts and feelings. I loved how Ashytn was voted captain of the school's football team, much to her boyfriend's disgust, and was so passionate about a male dominated sport. "Wild Cards" is a good weekend read for girls looking for another bad boy to love. I was surprised by this book, in a good way. Having not quite... connected with the first of two of Simone Elkeles' earlier stories/series, I took a chance and hoped third time was the charm. Good rule to follow: Always give an author another chance if you're neutral about them. I'm not a big football fan but I enjoyed the trip through high school politics, on and off the field. The romance aspect was not angsty but engaging as any I-live-to-annoy and love-to-hate-you story. The switch between his and her points of view were distinct and worked well. I, personally, like stories that get in the guys headspace because, well...I'm neither a teenager nor a guy and I'm curious (voyeuristic?) like that. This was a quick, easy read (devoured today between trick-or-treaters pounding on my door). It is important to add that I felt Elkeles writing has really developed and come a long way since her first book. I'm definitely looking forward to her next Wild Cards installment. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Derrick is the hottest YA boy to date. He's got it all, swagger, toughness, but he's sweet and sensitive.
Ashtyn is a tough chick who fights for what she wants, even when it seems hopeless. I constantly rooted for her.
The romance is hot, sweet and emotional. IT'S PERFECT.
If you haven't read this, I HIGHLY suggest you do! ( )
