Editoral Review
C.M. Stunich’s Filthy Rich Boys is an explosive new addition to the young adult romance genre. The book, first published on March 27, 2019, follows the story of a young woman, Piper, as she navigates her new school, her relationships, and her past.
Filled with drama, angst, and steamy romance, Filthy Rich Boys is a thrilling read that is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats. Stunich is a talented young adult romance author who has made a name for herself with her unique storytelling style and her ability to create complex and engaging characters.
Her books have gained a following for their unapologetic and emotionally raw portrayals of young love, making Filthy Rich Boys a natural fit for her fanbase. Set in the opulent world of the rich and famous, the novel centers around Piper, a young woman who is forced to move to a new school after her father’s business fails.
There, she meets the Filthy Rich Boys, a group of wealthy and privileged young men who immediately catch her eye. As she gets to know them better, Piper finds herself drawn into a web of dangerous secrets and forbidden love.
Stunich’s writing is both raw and sophisticated, weaving a complex narrative that keeps readers fully invested in the story from the first page. The pacing of the book is excellent, with just the right amount of tension and drama to keep the reader engaged without ever feeling rushed.
The characters are all well-developed, with nuanced motivations and personalities that feel real and relatable. One of the book’s biggest strengths is its exploration of class and privilege.
Stunich does an excellent job of highlighting the ways in which the Filthy Rich Boys’ immense wealth and power affect their relationships and decision-making. This is especially timely given the current cultural climate, where issues of economic inequality and privilege are at the forefront of public discourse.
That being said, the book isn’t without its flaws. Some readers may find the love triangle at the center of the story to be a bit too cliched, and the portrayal of some of the supporting characters can feel a bit one-dimensional at times.
Additionally, the book does contain some mature content, which may not be suitable for all readers. Overall, if you’re a fan of steamy young adult romance novels that explore complex themes of power and privilege, then Filthy Rich Boys is definitely worth a read.
While it may not be for everyone, this book packs a punch with its engaging characters, fast-paced plot, and emotionally charged storytelling. I would give Filthy Rich Boys a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars, making it a solid addition to any young adult romance lover’s bookshelf.
