Title: Punk 57
Author: Penelope Douglas
Genre: New Adult
Release Date: October 21, 2016
Synopsis:
From New York Times Bestselling Author, Penelope Douglas, comes the latest New Adult romance of love, hate, and everything in between…
“We were perfect together. Until we met.”
Misha
I can’t help but smile at the lyrics in her letter. She misses me.
In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed.
It didn’t take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever…
And that was the start. For the next seven years, it was us.
Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Sometimes there’s one a week or three in a day, but I need them. She’s the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.
We only had three rules. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. We had a good thing going. Why ruin it?
Until I run across a photo of a girl online. Name’s Ryen, loves Gallo’s pizza, and worships her iPhone. What are the chances?
F*ck it. I need to meet her.
I just don’t expect to hate what I find.
Ryen
He hasn’t written in three months. Something’s wrong. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch.
Without him around, I’m going crazy. I need to know someone is listening. It’s my own fault. I should’ve gotten his phone number or picture or something.
He could be gone forever.
Or right under my nose, and I wouldn’t even know it.
*Punk 57 is a stand alone New Adult romance. It is suitable for ages 18+.

BLP REVIEW ~ Tracy
I started reading Penelope Douglas‘s newest release on a transatlantic flight from Las Vegas and I literally could not put my kindle down (thus a severe lack of sleep followed, not that I’m complaining!!)
I am the first to admit that I’m not a huge fan of the New Adult books so, that being the case, you would wonder why I would read something in that genre….. the only thing I can tell you is that the writing of Pen Douglas is sooooo good that I forget that it’s a NA read and I have to say that I FLOVED Punk 57!!
The story of Misha and Ryen, I was hooked from the first time I read a teaser from Pen back in the summer!
The book deals with a number of issues that can affect a lot of us – and not just in high school! Being someone that you aren’t really so that you can feel like one of the crowd is not exclusive to being an 18 year old!
I really liked both lead characters, even though Ryen came across as a bit of a brat and had seriously suspect taste in friends (which is a big part of the story) and Misha had secrets and lies of his own!!
The supporting characters were a real mixed bag. Some of them I hated, really wanted to smack, and others I was rooting for, waiting to see them come into their own.
I love when an author has a bit of crossover in their series, and that’s all I’m gonna say on that front! 😉
If you were a fan of the Fall Away series from Pen or like a bit of angst in your reads, go grab yourself a copy of Punk 57 and prepare to be sucked in!!
