Class Act by Kelsey Rodkey
4.5

I first read a Kelsey book last year and fell so in love with her writing and the characters she creates. In this one we are thrown into a world of high school politics. Now I am not a huge fan of politics in romances but this was low angst. I have not read a YA that centered around running the office so I was a little nervous about how that would go but this was such a treat!

One thing I have learned while reading a Kelsey Rodkey book is that she is so good with flirty banter and swoony MMCs! Patrick oozed bad boy charm the moment we met him and he started talking to Ella. Heck he even crashed detention just to talk to her when he didn't even have to be there. Over the course of the book, their relationship changes and are tested but in the end they come back together to rule over their school's student body.

"Are my good looks too distracting?"
"You're just --"
"Yours are distracting, too."


I did pair my reading with the audiobook and as always Jesse Vilinsky did a wonderful job as Ella! I am sure I've said this before and I'll say it again, she has such a knack for the teenage voice. Between the way Kelsey wrote and her narration, the listening experience was really good!

I got to meet & hear Kelsey talk about this book. Hearing the author talk about their work and their inspo for it. One thing I love and she spoke about was how she always wanted to name the sisters after states (Delaware - Ella and Connecticut - Connie) and this was the perfect opportunity to use them.

Check this out if you love a YA romance that isn't too juvenile, high school politics great banter and a swoony MC!
