    Do Not Disturb My Books Review
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2011*

This series has a little bit of a West Side story to it. All 3 books revolve around a division in ethnicity and class. The boys are from the wrong side of the tracks and are involved with gang activity. If you enjoyed West Side Story or other books in that topic then you will love this series. Although there is more of a love story to Elkeles work.First of all Luis isn't my favorite Fuentes by far however I think this is probably the best book of the series. Luis is a great lead but I found that he wasn't quite as intense as Alex and Carlos. He still has his moments and some emotions still have that fierce intensity but overall he doesn't live life as passionately as his brothers. Then he meets Nikki and she brings out his intensity.Nikki was by far the most interesting love interest in the series. She has gone through so much prior to meeting Luis that she has a lot more depth from the first chapter. She is a very strong girl and has sustained a good amount of hurt. At times as a reader you might want to shove her along to heal but it makes for a great story.The plot of this book is surprising. I don't want to ruin it but I was dumbfounded about ¾ of the way through the book at the curveball we are thrown. There are so many issues that this book addresses and the others simply dance around. It isn't just a love story but a coming of age/healing story for both of the main characters.This was by far my favorite book even though Alex and Britney are my favorite couple. I give this one a 5/5. Be sure to check out the first book Perfect Chemistry if you haven't started the series.

    Great ending to a series
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2011*

There is something about a bad boy with a heart of gold and those Fuentes boys do not disappoint! Chain Reaction, the third (and sadly, the last) book in the Perfect Chemistry trilogy has everything I came to expect from a Simone Elkeles story. There is romance, action, humor, and heart. Once I started reading, I could not put the book down until I was completely finished. Luckily, I was in the car on a nine hour road trip so I had the time to spend with Luis, who is easily my favorite of the three brothers.Unlike the older Fuentes boys, Alex and Carlos, Luis stayed away from gang life. He is ridiculously smart and did not want to do anything to ruin his chances of becoming an astronaut. Sure, he made dumb decisions sometimes, but what teenager doesn't? But he was also protective of his family, and there isn't anything he wouldn't do to protect them. When he finds out that he has to work for the same gang his brother was in or they will hurt his family, he agrees in a heartbeat. While keeping this secret from his family, he is also trying to win the heart of Nikki. Out of all of the girls, Nikki was my favorite. The girl was everything I would want in a female character. She refused to take any crap from anyone and I loved that about her! The chemistry between Luis and Nikki was undeniable and I loved the sexual tension between the two. They were just so adorable together!What I love about these books is that Elkeles makes me feel so many different emotions. I truly feel for every one of her characters and I would love to go to a Fuentes BBQ and be apart of that family!I'm sad that this trilogy is over, but I can't wait to see what Elkeles has in store for us next! If you haven't read this series yet, what are you waiting for? Start it now, you won't regret it!

    The Irish Banana Review
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2011*

For the record, I fully blame Simone Elkeles for my obsession with the young adult genre. Before I got my hands on a copy of Perfect Chemistry, I thought YA novels were strictly PG rated and the most passionate displays of affection was a line saying, "We made out last night." Nothing was ever discussed in detail, let alone the smoldering way Elkeles writes a love scene. As if that wasn't enough, she doesn't flinch when tackling tough subjects like gang violence and teen sexuality.I fell in love with this series three years ago, and this final installment was just as hot and sultry as the previous two books. Luis, being the youngest, was so much fun. He didn't have the jaded cynicism his older brothers had going into this book. He was a reckless, fun guy who liked to make people laugh. This is what made the revelation about his past all the more saddening (sorry, that's all I'll say - read the book to find out what happens).I wasn't all that crazy about Nikki. I understood she got hurt in a major way by a major creep, but I felt some times she took her mistrust in Luis too far. Towards the end I warmed up to her, but for a little while I thought she needed a good slap. I did, however, adore her friends Derek and Kendall. For some reason I looked forward to any scene they were in.I felt parts of this book, especially the end, moved too fast. I would have liked a little more filling in the Latino Blood storyline and Luis's reactions to what he discovered. I felt that came and went too fast. Then again, it might just be me with a serious case of the Oliver Twists, making grabby hands and begging for some more because I knew this series was coming to a close.It could be argued that Elkeles's books in this series are formulaic. After reading the first, the other two play out the same way, but I went in expecting that. There are no real surprised, but I recently saw on the news that people are almost 40% happier when they read a book or see a movie already knowing how it will end. This book is a classic example of that: I love knowing that in the Simone Elkeles's world love truly can conquer all.
