The Perfects by Rachel Van Dyken is a forbidden high school romance. Ambrose is the perfect son, the perfect student, and the perfect athlete. Mary-Belle is a foster kid who has bounced from home to home until she ends up in Ambrose's house. They have an instant attraction to each other and start a secret affair, until they are caught and everything changes from that day on. Ambrose blames Mary-Belle on the changes in his life so he decides she's now his enemy, until one of his old friends starts to hang out with Mary-Belle. Even though he doesn't want anything to do with her, doesn't mean he's going to allow anyone else to become involved with her. Secrets get exposed, there's a lot of twists and turns. This book wasn't what I thought it was going to be, but I'm okay with that, it was different and intriguing. I would rate this book with 4 stars.
Tropes:
*Forbidden Romance (Foster Brother)*
*Lovers to Enemies*
*High School Romance*
*Love Triangle Vibes*
Favorite Excerpt:
“Yeah,” I nod again. “Let’s eat some food, but also, don’t ever, ever fucking worry about not having food. I’m your food. I’m your friend. I’m your person, even if you hate me in the morning and love me in the evening. Even if for the rest of your life you want to murder me. You will always, always have someone or something. And that’s me.”
