First sentence(s):
I'm failing Spanish. Okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration.
Jayden Valdez is an overachieving intellectual. Mike McGinnes is Franklin High School’s dumbest jock. Even though they barely know each other, she finds his personality repulsive and he thinks she’s got a giant stick up her you know what.
Mike and Jayden are surprised and annoyed when their teacher pairs them together for Spanish tutoring. Both feel it’s a complete waste of time, since nobody could learn from a person who bugs the crap out of them. Not to mention that their reputations might be ruined if people realize what they’re doing.
But it doesn’t take long for Jayden to discover that Mike has a secret—he isn’t the person he appears to be. Much to her dismay, Jayden finds 'Secret Mike' strangely attractive. And for some crazy reason, Mike is amused by Jayden’s clever insults and witty banter. Suddenly, they have a much bigger problem than their mutual disdain. What started as irritating tension is beginning to feel more like romantic tension and acting on it would be a very bad idea.
My two-bits:
Perfectly Misunderstood is the fourth book in a series but works fine as a standalone. It is a perfect addition to the series and had me smiling and chuckling throughout the whole reading session.
The play with dialogue in slang, emoji and Spanish was fun, fast and at times hilariously cute.
The main characters and others that surround them are likable which creates a comfy kind of read.
