This is a cute romantic summer read. It started a bit slow but it definitely picks- I couldn’t put it down after a while and ended finishing it in one sitting. All the feels at the end 😍

This fell flat for me. The characters never acted their age and if they actually acted this way at their ages they’d be the biggest losers. Not even the Taylor references could save this one for me…

This book made me so happy! I adored it. I didn’t want it to end! I loved the writing style and all the pop culture references. I was completely engrossed in Shane’s world. This book is just lovely!

This was such a good book! I didn't think I would like it as much as I did since I kept putting off finishing it for weeks at a time and reading other books instead while I was reading a few pages here and there of this one. It had cute contemporary vibes that had me turning pages pretty quickly when I did sit down to read it, but it still took me long to get through the first half for some reason. Anyway, I had no clue it would take the direction that it did by the second half! I was really looking forward to a solid coming-of-age story, and when she went back home from London without making much personal growth, I was slightly disappointed...UNTIL the second part! Then I was hooked and read the last 200 pages in a day and I loved every second! We love an unpredictable contemporary.
I loved Shane's personality and her witty banter with Pilot and all their friends. And Christine Riccio did a wonderful job setting the scene for readers who may or may not have visited all the European countries described in the book. I was really able to visualize everything pretty clearly. I'm glad I ended up flying through the rest of this book and absolutely adoring it. It's a solid debut novel.

I literally could not stop reading this book it was amazing! It was such a great book, especially for a first book. I'm not the most active reader so for this book to actually keep me reading until I finished the whole thing is quite an accomplishment. I would totally recommend this book to any young adult reader; absolutely loved it! Thank you Christene, I can't wait for the next one!
