A review by bookishobsessedmama
Bound to You by Bridie Charles
3.5
I have really mixed feelings about this book! I felt really unconnected to Ciao & Isla for the first 50-60% of the book. Their overall characters felt very surface level and forgettable. It was hard for me to be invested in their story for the first half of the book.
BUT.
the second half of the book was like a completely different world imo. I felt like the plot and conflict amped up, the tension and angst between the two built extremely heavy. I was kicking my feet and giggling when they finally had their first kiss & when Isla showed up at his home after work 🤌🏼🤌🏼
my absolute favorite part of this entire book was the found family aspect. I felt like the family atmosphere between these friends and siblings was absolutely beautiful. I really connected to the side characters within the second half of the book and i’m excited to see where they go in the books to come in this series.
overall, the beginning was a bit slow for me. I just wanted more. BUT as a debut i felt it was pretty well done. I think the author hit their stride come 50% of book 1 and that makes me so excited to see where we’ll go in the books to come.
Read this book if you’re looking for..
Found Family
Italian Summer Romance
Billionaire Romance
I would definitely revisit this author and would recommend this book to my peers.
