I really disliked Nikki throughout this book. Instead of a rich white girl love interest, Elkeles creates a rich Mexican girl love interest who, at least by the Fuentes' definition, may as well be white. And reading this one on the heels of book two, I'm less than impressed. I think part of it was that I read them so far apart, I forgot how similar the boys are. In fact, I am a little fed up with the Fuentes boys. If it sounds like I'm being sarcastic, I am. Luis turns out to be a bit of a jerk, Nikki loves to hate him and in the end, they are perfect for each other regardless of the lies. Obviously, there's some gang stuff, because that's just how it goes. meets a girl from the other side, usually too good for him. If you've read the other books, you will pretty much know how this goes: a Fuentes boy, poor, wrong side of the tracks, etc. He's the straight A golden child, but he has a bit of a wild side. This final book follows the youngest Fuentes brother, Luis.
