I'm the author by the way, and I rate it five starssss

[Adriana · Rating 3 out of 5]

sooo, let's start with the positive. The ending, the part where they were together, was very well written. Their trip to Paris, all of that was written extremely sweetly. However, I somehow have the feeling that it rushed extremely quickly to the 'plot twist.' I didn’t understand the beginning at all; it jumped into the story way too quickly. Then also, the fact that everything took place over several months made no sense to me at all. For me, it all felt like a maximum of 3 weeks. So much more could have been gotten out of this storyline, but this is her first book, which she published still in her youth and without help, so I still find it very impressive under these circumstances. I hope she has a lot of success with her following books, because for the beginning, I can already see that there is a lot of potential here.

I absolutely love this book so much! It made me want to scream,cry,laugh and throw up all at the same time. I love all the characters relationships with each other and the setting matches the book perfectly!

This book has a really great plot and I love the sentiment behind it but things basic spag need to be improved.

Personally I absolutely hated this book first of all it had me in a huge reading slump and that’s always rlly bad. Second I’m sorry but the book was clearly not edited properly because there were so many grammar and spelling mistakes. And I’m not talking like maybe say 5 in the whole book I’m talking like 2 on every page and the spelling was like always wrong. In terms of the actual plot it was very very mid and so boring to the point where I would just skip chapters. Next the repetition in this book like girl, Nadia Bella, I get u were trying to tell us say for example when Tilly went to America that she was in America but literally it would be ‘OMG I’m in America!!!’ And then the next sentence after would be ‘things in America feel different’ and then it would be like ‘oh ye I have to post this trip to America’ like girl we get she’s in America this also happened when Luca was in Italy she just kept repeating the word Italy. I was also a little unimpressed wth the amount of telling instead of showing like that’s the first thing I learnt in school when writing narratives and it was show don’t tell. Anyway ye I do get this was her debut novel but honestly it started start out wth a bang.

Being an eldest daughter I really felt seen in this book and I really related to Tilly so I connected with her character so much and it made me so sad knowing what she was going through. I lived the romance it was amazing. I loved how we got to see her life after her and Luca got together it wasn’t just the end after they got together we got to see into their life a little. Overall this book was a great read for me.☺️

First, I’d like to mention that the author is, what, 14–15 years old?This is her first book, and to be honest, I’m giving it 2.75 stars.
The cover of the book is very,VERY pretty and I really like it. At the beginning, I wasn’t enjoying the book at all and I honestly couldn’t focus on the words, but starting from chapter 17, which is on page 160, when Tilly tells Luca about her “problems,” aka her nightmares, I was completely locked in until the very end of the book.
I’m looking forward to the second book, which will be about Yana and Matt 🫶🏻
In my opinion, Nadia Bella has a lot of potential. Considering that she’s only 14 or 15, I think the book is written really well in its own way. There are some mistakes in the book, but honestly, I don’t mind them.
The book is definitely readable, especially compared to author A.eM, who is an adult woman, yet I absolutely did not enjoy her books and thought they were terribly written.
So, I really hope Nadia’s second book won’t disappoint me, and I’m definitely looking forward to it.

I loved this book! It's a really good summer read, I recommend it to everyone. It's a really good and addictive book, and the characters are so cute! I love it!

[Liliana · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really enjoyed the story line, and how Tilly trusted Luca with her trauma and self hate. However there were lots of spelling and grammar mistakes which bugged me a little bit, but apart from that I really enjoyed this book and I love how it isn't just set in one place and how they have different nationalities than what you usually see. I'd read again if there weren't any spelling mistakes.

[Francisca Alho · Rating 4 out of 5]

I mean I loved the book, truly but I think it was too rushed, like in a moment they were confessing their feelings for each other and the next second they are acting like they have been dating for a long time… then I think the book didn’t quite have a timeline, I was really confused when Luca talked about trying to move on when for me, he had just had the talk where Tilly opened up the day before… I think the author could improve and tells us more how much time had passed, because I was totally surprised when Luca told Tilly that the waterpark scene had happened 2 months ago, for me it had been like 2 weeks, 3 max
Other than that I totally loved the book and their relationship as much as their relationship with their friends and all….
Another thing, I would’ve loved if we had any scene about Tilly’s parents, because we just know she felt guilty about not calling and that she “didn’t like them” but we don’t know anything else about it, I’m sure we would all love to know more about it as much as a little bit more of Luca relationship with his family…
Anyways, loved the book beside all of this

This book was devastating and the cutest freaking thing in the world. I was about to cry one second then kicking my feet and giggling! It was a gorgeous story that everyone should read sometime in their life!

“Sometimes I feel like you hide yourself behind a wall, and it’s unfair. Your soul is the prettiest when it’s exposed, gentle, and vulnerable for the world to see. Fragility doesn’t mean you’re weak,” she squeezes my hand and looks at me seriously. “Showing yourself vulnerable just means you are strong enough to embrace emotions as they are. It’s literally proof you’re stronger than most people.”

i’ve been following nadia on social media for a while. she’s an absolute sweetheart and an inspiration for many teen authors. i can’t imagine how hard it is to write a novel at such a young age. there are a lot of parts of myself that i see in tilly. the night scenes and writing was truly special and easy to follow. it was a good romcom and i loved the mentioning of some movies and books. though i sadly have to say, it was a bit too fast paced for me. i wish it wouldn’t have been jumped from one scene to another so quickly. but overall it was a good book and i recommend it to everyone who loves a good romance book.

[Vilte Pupleviciute · Rating 4 out of 5]

The most perfect gentle and sweet romance book. It didn't feel rushed, it didn't feel repetitive of overwhelming. It was truly like I was watching a movie in my head while reading and completely forgetting about reality.

[Kaila May · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book was boring it felt repetitive. The writing was not good, the spelling and grammar needs to be severely improved.

[Aimee Burton · Rating 4 out of 5]

loved this book so much, Nadia!!
From the beginning, the characters were so lovable and I instantly connected with them. This book was so entertaining, there was never a boring chapter where I wanted to stop.
The plot was so well presented and beautifully written.
If you haven't already, go buy it!!

[Caitlin · Rating 5 out of 5]

The I would rate the book 4.75⭐️. It honestly would have been 5 stars except for the fact that there are a few spelling and grammar mistakes, but the book so so beautifully written and I wish I could read it for the first time all over again.

I loved that book so much I read it in three days the setting was so good. the characters were so amazing I fell in love with them and the trip to Paris was so perfect.

[vildaaaa_aaaaa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Best book to read in the summer, all I want to know is what the deal is with her parents

[dahlia holsten · Rating 4 out of 5]

i enjoyed it, some small fails—but what a flex to have written a book at (idk her age, but young!!)

And luca is a cutie.
I also liked Tilly, but she felt repetitive.

The fastest slow burn ever. it was fast then slow then fast than nothing then yeah you get it.

But, i quite enjoyed tho.
