Talia Hibbert does it again. I so loved this book. I adored the characters. It was all so much fun. No notes. It's practically perfect.

Wow. What a book. I am in awe of how amazing this is. All of these characters are so real to me, so vivid and complicated. I felt so many emotions while reading this and even though it was mostly anger or sadness, it is worth it to read. It is brilliantly written. The words flow like poetry but are still accessible and understandable. Overall, this book is fantastic and I highly recommend.

Wow. What a book. A lot of this book was really heavy, but it was so full of heart. I grew to love these characters. I rooted for them and cried with them. The ending was exactly what I was hoping for. Love love love.

Okay, I'll be honest, I read this book because it was set in Italy and I have a soft spot for Italy. The cover also drew me in. I'll be honest again; I didn't love this book. It was cute and fun and had me wishing I could visit Rome again. I genuinely liked it. I have a few qualms, though. First of all, our leading lady's name being Story is a level of quirky I thought we left in 2014. I didn't love her name. Her as a character was great but she deserved a better name. Luca was a little annoying for the first half of the book. He was so oblivious to how working class people live and it peeved me. Some of the condescending things he says to Story had me fuming. He comes around in the second half of the book which is good. (Yay for character development!) This is definitely a well-written book and I enjoyed the majority of it (minus the qualms I listed) and it is such a solid YA novel.

This was SO GOOD! I usually hate the unexpected pregnancy trope but this one was so well done I couldn't help but love it. The characters were so funny and lovable. The plot was executed perfectly. The ending got me in my feels. I read this book in less than 24 hours, I was so hooked. When this book comes out, I am buying it ASAP!!!

WOWWWWW SOOOO GOOD!!! I LOVED THIS!!!! I didn't love the beginning of this book and was tempted to DNF but I kept on and I'm glad I did cause wow, did I love this book. I am so impressed with the characters and how beautifully they were written. I so enjoyed all the characters, from our leading lady, Georgie to Norbert, the messy but lovable hound. I can't wait for you all to read this one. I seriously am so impressed with it and so glad that I read it.

Honestly, I enjoyed this one so much. I adored the cast of characters. They had so much personality and color to them. I enjoyed reading about the side characters just as much as the romantic leads. I love the adventure we get taken on and the stories we get to hear. I loved watching Noelle and Theo fall in love. I'm impressed at how well they communicated with each other. There is no third act breakup in this book and I'm living for it. Such a good book. Will be rereading sometime in the future.

The way their relationship started was weird but I did enjoy this one. I don't like how bossy and demanding Beau is but his generosity and protectiveness make up for it. I love Bailey and her strength and wit. I love how these two grew to love themselves more by loving each other. Such a cute book.
