Review: Okay if you believe hormones control your life & actions
Rating: 2 out of 5

I have read other books by Ms. Reyes, and while her English isn't the best, the stories are usually well told. I read Noah, and now Gio, and as much as I love the guys of 5th street, I have to say I don't like their character development (or lack thereof) at the hands of Ms. Reyes. Gio seemed like such a great guy with a good set of values and lots of winning personality. Then, in this book he throws everything good and decent out the window because of wild hormones. Bianca is supposed to be this sweet, wonderful girl, a girl you want your son to marry... and she becomes this lying, cheating, manipulative witch because of hormones she can't control. The way they treat the people they're supposed to care about... My goodness, I thought these people were grownups. All the out of control rutting around was just disgusting! I almost stopped reading as I could see a train wreck about to happen and I didn't want to see people get hurt. We're supposed to believe that the end justifies the means in this case, and I am just not buying it. The Gio I met before just wouldn't do a friend that way.Maybe Ms. Reyes needs to go back to writing about hormone-driven teenage love because she missed the boat on grownup love.
