Good quick read. Lost a star for proofing - reins not reigns!

I did have high hopes for this book when I first purchased it and um I don't like being mean but was a wee bit of a let down, yes there was two gangs in it, yes two people fall in love but sadly it just didn't live up to it to me I'm afraid.
There was a few things that I did like in the book which I kept reading more in to it I liked the names of the two gang groups which I did find the names quite nice and that they suited the members within the gangs.
I like how a member from the female gang and the boy gang fell in love and managed to make it work even with a fewbconflictions but they still managed.
Now the last thing I did like was the ending of the book was a good ending which did make me smile.
Only reason it is a three star us due to it not living up to the hype but if it had more chapters added to it then I believe it would of lived up to it.
