Jules Coronado has been away from her hometown for almost a decade but when an intruder breaks into her childhood home, she finds herself coming back. Changes evidently took place in her small town, including her childhood best friend’s younger brother, Kip – now tall, slightly scruffed, all grown up and caught climbing into their garden wall. 

Kip Villamor has a mission and despite Jules’ doubts, they team up: going on field trips, tackling unsuspecting men, and trespassing offices to dig up dirt. But Jules has secrets of her own, one that might be exposed – unless she keeps her walls up. But climbing walls are Kip’s forte, remember? 

Will her secrets keep her on his side, or will it force her to disappear again?

Kip or Crispin is the ultimate Bae. He's cute and a bad ass. And Jules, she's just so likable. I mean she always freaks out most of the time, especially when it comes to Kip. 

The Hometown Hazard is love. 

I love it! I love it! I love it! Kip and Jules! Shipped. 

It's one of the few stories I felt so kilig without smutty scenes, well, what I read most of the time are from Marian Tee (you know what to expect from her, hihi) and Manga authors, but then I've read some from Mina V. Esguerra, so I'm kinda familiar with the light theme romance novel, and they're sweet. It's the kind of story that will keep you flipping the pages until you reach the end. It's a suspense thriller romance novel. I've been curious the whole time - asking who? What? Why? When? Fuck, so that's what happened. This book makes you think I guess, and it's healthy haha. It's a must read, that's why it deserves 5 stars out of 5. Yes, definitely! 

Dawn Lanuza started writing stories when she was just a kid (they weren’t good or even finished). She works for the music industry by day and writes meet cutes and snappy comebacks by night. ‘The Boyfriend Backtrack’ is her first book. She currently lives with her family and an adopted dog.

FEELS...





My Random Thoughts 

1. A young Adult story is not really my thing, that's why I didn't like how the story unfolds. Callie is so 'assuming', I didn't like her for that. The betrayal of her best friend and the best issue from Landon--they were all assumptions. Girl, stop judging, please. You, acting like that gets on my nerves. The teenage love in this story was quite 'cheesy' on my part--I guess 'cause I never experienced one. All my crushes were ignorant of my feelings--or worst they felt disgusted towards me. But Callie was different, she had fulfilled her teenage love. He loved her all along. I envied you, Callie, but I am happy for you.

2. I'm not fond of a charming guy or even a Prince Charming--I like more brooding men in fiction, so Landon isn't my type. Yes to that, you're lucky Callie to have him. He's too sweet for me! Too perfect for me! He thought the love they had would last forever. Wake up, Landon! There's no forever! Weren't you underage to have your own car? Haha. Give me the key!

3. I actually liked Miranda. Haha. That bitch. I'll root for childhood-friends-turned-lovers shipping. It's Callie's fault for threading those lies, she should have never accused Beatrice of betrayal, however, I had to understand that their just kids, teenagers--they were still experiencing a growth spurt. Miranda wasn't the only one responsible for the rumors about Callie being a skank and slut. Lies, lies, lies! Burn to hell!

4. Beatrice, bow down. I salute you. Bestie of the Year goes to--dan dan dan--Beatrice! You had never done anything wrong, if I were you I would never talk to Callie, but, yes, you're a good girl and you loved your bestie. Let's cheers to that kind of friendship!

These teenagers have a long way to go. Finish your study first! Haha. Chos! 

Rating: 4 out of 5 STARS

It's a good read if you're looking for fresh and blissful teenage love. It's so good to be young, ne, Callie, and Landon?
