The Peer and the Puppet by B.B. Reid

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Who wants some angsty teenage smutty romance?

This was my first introduction to B.B. Reid’s work. I found her writing style very reminiscent of Tijan’s work. What I mean by that is the reader isn’t hand-fed the story. There’s several times I had to make an assumption or conjecture to continue with the story. Some may love this type of writing but for me I’m not always certain that what I’ve guessed is accurate. Perhaps I’m a lazy reader and just don’t want to work for my story. 😉

For the story itself I was sucked in with the intriguing description. The juxtaposition of disgustingly rich to the floundering poor. From pearls & designer heels to motorcycle helmets & coveralls. Sounded fan-freaking-tastic! All the elements mixed together with love, hate, angst, jealousy, and absolutely no parental involvement…I was hooked. I found all of the characters involved were a tad melodramatic and some of the dialog and actions repetitive. (Hence the 4 star rating.)

Will I read the next book in the series? Maybe. I’m not itching for it but I enjoyed the premise enough to continue the series.
