RIDING THE UNIVERSE is definitely one of those great, summer reads. It's intense like a hot summer's day, but with enough breezy lightness so as not to overwhelm the reader.
Chloe is a fun, relateable teen who is trying to figure out her own existence. She loves her parents but she is finding herself more and more curious about her biological parents (which definitely becomes a bombshell in her life when she does learn the truth).
Beyond that, she has even more problems going on that most teens could understand. Chemistry is mind-boggling hard and she needs to get a tutor or lose her late Uncle Seth's motorcycle. She can't let that happen, as it's the only freedom she has, so she agrees and finds herself immersed in goody-two-shoe Gordon's life.
She likes Gordon, but her best friend, Rock, doesn't think he's right for her...but is this founded in truth or pure jealousy?
RIDING THE UNIVERSE rides the line between the two until the end, when reality comes crashing down on a love-struck Chloe.
Overall, free and fast, lots of fun.
