`Recklessly' is the 3rd volume in A.J. Sand's series, `Documentary . I need to say that I haven't read the first two books, `Documentary' and `Remake'. Even though, I didn't have a problem reading the 3rd volume as a stand alone. But I plan on reading the first two books soon.`Recklessly' is an amazing book. A truly amazing, absolutely lovable book. It's that kind of book that obsesses you. All you wanna do is sit down and read. Because, as I said before, `Recklessly' is an amazing book. After I finished it, I was very impressed. Really, I didn't expect to like to so much.Ok, so. We have Wes. He's hot, blonde, smart, lovely, oh did I mention hot? He's a surfer. He's the kind of guy that is God's gift to women. He's having sex with any chick he wants, he drinks, he parties, he surfs. Oh and he reads. A lot. And he is smart. Really, really smart and funny. And under this appearance of his as a bad guy, he's actually a really great guy. He's smart, he cares about other people, he's a great friend and a great brother. But he is broken as well. He can't get over his ex's betrayal and death. But he's one of those guys that, at the first glance, they seem shallow and stupid and just hot. But when you get to know them, you figure that they are not what they seem.Then we have Lana... I liked her in general, but sometimes I didn't. She made some mistakes and took some decisions that made me angry.She made me so angry when she was with Brody. I mean, seriously. Wanna prove your boyfriend that you respect him and you're into him?(Spoiler alert!) Don't go and party with your ex that your boyfriend hates! That was a stupid mistake. A really, really stupid mistake. But what was even more stupid was her, not telling Wes about it. Then another mistake was getting into that damn car with Brody. (Spoiler over!)But then again, she was a genius sometimes! Such a badass. And smart. And funny. Her conversations with Wes were impressive. And their passion for books was really special and gave this book something more. I think Lana and Wes are perfect for each other. They both have strong personalities and they are both fun.Their love is tragic, beautiful and reckless. Their story reminded me of classics books-where the atmosphere and the  love story is so tragic that your world and your mood become, for a few days, well... tragic.The atmosphere in this book reminded me of 90210. You know, the surfing part, beaches, affairs, sex, parties, hot guys.. it reminded me of summer. And of serials like 90210.The dialogues between the characters were either smart, flirtatious, funny or in banter. The relationships between the chatacters were normal and well developed. I love Wes's relationship with Abel. They were the perfect brothers. Always taking care of each other, always making fun of each other.  That one scene, with Abel, near the end? It almost made me throw my Kindle into the wall. Well,luckly, I didn't have to.Over all, `Recklessly' is one of the best book I've read this summer. It's definitely a love story and a book that will mark you. Belive me, Wes and Lana's stories and relationship will obsesses you. You'll fall in love with the characters and with the story immediately. Highly recommended it!Rate: 5 stars out of 5
