REVIEW: Lennon's Jinx (Lennon's Girls Trilogy #1) by Chris Myers


Lennon's Jinx (Lennon's Girls Trilogy #1) by Chris Myers

Add to Goodreads 

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars


Lennon spends most of his time raising his sister Currie while skating through his senior year of high school. He prefers groupies with no-strings attached but finds himself attracted to Jinx, the straight-A student in his choir—a girl way out of his league.

Jinx is not the perfect person her classmates think she is. She conceals the black truth about herself, even from her friends. She won’t admit to them that she screwed up big time, losing what she once held most precious. 

Neither Jinx nor Lennon trusts the opposite sex. When she joins Lennon’s band, she discovers that he is not the bad boy every girl thinks he is and that he just might be the one.

This is my first time reading anything from Chris Myers and I am absolutely glad that I had the opportunity to participate in her Book Tour and was introduced to this trilogy. I am truly blown away. I was intrigued from beginning to end. Such an amazing beautifully written story. 

I instantly had a soft spot for Lennon. I mean, my gosh...he's a baby raising a baby and holding so much responsibility and so much older than his age. He's 17 years old raising his little sister and taking on the parental responsibilities and duties that come along with it. How can you not have a soft spot for a young man who is so caring, loving and just simply amazing when it comes to the care of his little sister, Currie.

Dealing with a heartless mother and a father that was an addict and never having a childhood will definitely take its toll on a young kid. But Lennon steps up to the plate and takes over where his parents have failed. Never experiencing what it's like having a normal childhood. 

Lennon has a reputation as being a player. Never wanting to pursue a relationship or commitment. That all starts to change when he sees Jinx and gets to know her better. She has her own baggage, but when needed she's there for him in a supporting way. 

Great supporting characters. Emotional and Heartbreaking. You will not want to miss out on this one. This is a definite MUST read.
