Pretty Reckless, an all-new standalone high school, bully romance from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen, is available now!
We were supposed to be best friends
But turned out to be worst enemies…
Penn
They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart is completely iced.
I took her first kiss.
She took the only thing I loved.
I was poor.
She was rich.
The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.
Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project.
Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.
Yeah, baby girl, say it—I’m your foster brother.
There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.
Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.
Daria
Everyone loves a good-old, unapologetic punk.
But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.
The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.
In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.
Four years ago, he asked me to save all of my firsts for him.
Now he lives across the hall, and there’s nothing I want more than to be his last everything.
His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.
Now? Now he is making me pay.

I went into Pretty Reckless quite blind. I was late in discovering Leigh's work and I haven't actually read any of the Sinners of Saint series. I kept hearing her name being volleyed around as a must read author and after picking up Midnight Blue and The Kiss Thief, I fell in love with her style and prose.
Daria and Penn's story is a young adult romance, and if you love an enemies to lovers romance, a forbidden romance, or an angst ridden, dramatic story this one ticks all the boxes.
Pretty Reckless is full of twist and turns that will captivate you, but it's the characters that will keep you enthralled. They are complex, dynamic, charismatic but most importantly feel real. Daria is entitled and comes from a background of wealth and privilege. Money doesn't always bring happiness and she doesn't always do the right thing, even to the point of acknowledging that she can be quite evil at times. Penn is damaged from his own upbringing, life hasn't been easy, and he's resilient, resourceful and driven.
These characters feel so real and relatable, despite their different backgrounds they are both flawed, imperfect, and suffer from insecurities and vulnerabilities like all teens.
I loved everything about Daria and Penn's book and cannot wait to discover more of All Saints High, and it's left me desperate to read the Sinners of Saint series to discover more of the previous generation.
