Accidental Love

I read a book called Accidental Love. It was written by Gary Soto. I chose this book because I read the back of it and it seemed interesting. Accidental Love is mainly about how a tough girl, Marisa falls in love with a nerdy boy, Rene.

Marisa wanted to go to a good school and get a good education, but her school didn't help her do that, so she moved to a new school and used her aunt's address to say that she lived in that district. Marisa had to leave her best friend who was in the hospital because of a car crash, but she fell in love with her best friend's boyfriend's tutor Rene. He went to Hamilton Magnet school which is where Marisa transferred too from her other school. Marisa and Rene stated dating, and Marisa tried to make him not as nerdy. Rene's mom didn't like Marisa at all and she wanted Rene to stay away from Marisa. Eventually, Rene's mom gets mad and does something that makes Marisa really mad.....

Two things I liked about this book are that it was interesting, and descriptive. Two things that I didn't like about this book are that it had a lot of Spanish words that I didn't know, and it didn't really keep me hooked onto the book. I think this book is age appropriate for anyone really, they just should know there is some Spanish in this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a little bit of romance.
