4.5 Leo Tate Loving Stars 
 "I'd been perfect, since screwing up was not allowed in my family." 
 But Nora is far from perfect...she's fed up with her oh-perfect family; her psycho mom that doesn't give rats-ass about her daughter and her ever absent father. 
 The family who everyone sees and admires is simply not there -it's a facade and Nora is about to explode. She's sick of being forced to be someone she isn't. No one knows her secret; a secrete her mom refused to believe. A secrete that is slowly eating her alive, especially since he is back in town.... 
 She feels lost in this world, no one understands her and all she wants is to rebel. Oh and she does....on stage at her school. Instead of welcoming the new students, gushing about how awesome the school is she basically tells the audience to screw themselves. Mmh, that didn't sit well with her psycho mom of course. 
 While being lectured in the parking lot, Nora crosses eyes with Leo and both couldn't look away. He was drawn to her and couldn't shake the feeling that Miss Perfect wasn't as perfect as everyone thought. He saw her pain. 
 This encounter shouldn't be the only one between them; the next time they 'meet' oh my, couldn't have been worse. 
 For Nora, he is the man...but Tate, nope, not gonna happen. He fights his feeling with everything possible. He has no time for love or a spoiled rich girl, all that counts is his brother and the future he's trying to build them.

 I loved their back and forth; I laughed, swooned, and hurt for them. Both suffered so much in their young age and I was ruling for them nonstop. The more Leo pulled back the harder Nora pushed toward him. 
 After all, she knew Bad decisions can make some damn good memories! 
 Oh and these two are about to make some pretty damn good one ;) 
 I loved this book; the characters and the story sucked me in and I finished the book with a satisfying grin. Ilsa's writing style is flawless and as well captivating. It's true, you can read her books as standalones; I'm the best example for it because I started her series backwards lol. 
 I highly recommend her Briarcrest Academy -and when I say this, as super critical NA Romance books reviewer then it counts for something ;)
