A review by bookanonjeff
Beach Town Bad Boy by Maggie Dallen

5.0

It's Gotta Be You. I've read a lot of Dallen's other work, but this was my first time with the characters of the Briarwood High series. Even as an entry point, it didn't feel disconnected from the rest of the series yet it also didn't feel weighed down by the series either - in other words, a solid entry point. Which is a good thing since it is also part of a summer collection from several authors teaming together to cross-market with each other - a newish tactic I've only really seen crop up this year, but which seems to be a good way to get introduced to a wide range of similar authors.

This particular book does have all the elements one comes to expect from Dallen's YA/ high school based books, even at novella length. Great book, very much recommended.
