Review: Love, Lex by Avery Aster

                                            

From the NYT Bestselling author of The Manhattanites series comes another snarky, sexy novel featuring young, rich, beautiful people doing stupid cray-cray things. If you enjoy TV shows like Gossip Girl, The Carrie Diaries, and The Girls on HBO--then Love, Lex is the book for you! 

This summer, I'd planned to celebrate my eighteenth birthday in Europe with my fellow Manhattanites--Taddy Brill, Blake Morgan, and Vive Farnworth--until I caught my boyfriend screwing my mother. According to the police report, this vomit-inducing incident happened around the same time I'd supposedly blown-up my mother's penthouse. Like I'm walking around Soho with a stick of dynamite in my Louis Vuitton purse--not! Now, my besties and I are in jail. 

Officer Ford Gotti, the Harley-wheelin' biker cop who arrested us, keeps sticking his perfectly-sculpted nose into my case. His inked body is jacked like a superhero, and he says I can trust him. He wants me to fess up. I won't. Not again. Why should I? My friends and I had a previous stint in juvie that nearly destroyed us. I gotta protect them and keep my mouth shut. Right? --Lex Easton, women's studies major, motorcycle enthusiast, and virgin. 

The Undergrad Years is a New Adult contemporary miniseries about first loves, independence, and everlasting friendships.

        

I wasn't too sure what to expect when I started Love, Lex, but it was a fun, fast, and dramatic read. It's a short read a perfect for when you don't have much time but want something that's going to get your brain moving. It starts off with a bang! Lex walks in on her mom and bf having sex! Lex was still a virgin but planned on sleeping with him until that.

So since it is a short read you get a big dose of crazy in a fast shot. Lex ends up in jail where she meets Officer Ford Gotti and can't get him out of her mind. I was really enjoying the book, but the way her and Officer Gotti got together seemed kinda weird to me. It was more of a wam bam thank you ma'am. It just seemed so fast, BUT nothing in Lex's life is normal so it actually suits her lol.

This book has some whitty characters, a dose of drama, and some hot sex in a short package!

Rating: 4 stars
