Ripped is a second chance romance about Brooke and Melanie's goth friend Pandora Stone. She's a tough, feisty, closed-off and mysterious chick. Her heart was once broken when Mackenna Jones, the lead singer of Crack Bikini. Their paths crossed again during his band's concert as Pandora and Melanie made a scene by throwing tomatoes at him. It's funny and quite immature. As a deal, Kenna and Pandora must reunite for a movie to increase the band's publicity. 
 This wasn't Pandora's original plan. She wants a closure but there are lots of unresolve issues that needs to be addressed. Their feelings resurfaced and the sexual tension between them blazed. Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of Pandora in the beginning. She's always mad and I want her to chill down. The anger she felt runs down deeper than I thought which was revealed later on the book. It's heartbreaking and I pity Pandora but I admire her strength getting through it. Kenna doesn't need to prove anything. He's a good and devoted man to Pandora. They committed mistakes in the past and I'm glad these two found their way back for a fresh start. I like their story even though some parts irked me. 
 Here's my favorite passage: 
 "I know now, from life, that it only takes a second to break you. But with time, with effort, it takes a little longer, but you can make it. There's something about someone knowing your deepest, darkest secret and still loving you despite what you did that gives you hope. That makes you want to be better. Never disappoint yourself, and them, ever again."
