The Ross Twins and I

The Ross Twins and I #1

by Emma Dalton

Twin hotties. One girl’s heart. A whole lot of drama.

Moving to one of the coldest cities in America is hard enough, but mourning the loss of my mother on top of that? It would be too much for any sixteen-year-old girl to handle. But I’m determined to make a good life for myself with as little drama as possible.

Then I meet the Ross twins.

The boys are my next-door neighbors, and they can’t be any more different from one another. Dylan is the captain of the hockey team, a total sweetheart, and my best friend. Landon is…well, there’s only one word to describe him. Insufferable. He likes to get under my skin, and he refuses to let me tutor him when his grades tank. He makes me want to pull my hair out, but then I see a different side to him. A caring side. A side that carries the same kind of pain buried in my heart.

I love hanging out with Dylan. But something pulls me to Landon as well. I wanted to have a stress-free life, but it seems these boys have something else in mind.

The Ross Twins and I is the first book in the Ross Twins and I series. If you like sweet YA romances that make you swoon, laugh, and cry, this book is for you!

I absolutely loved the Harrington Bay Academy series by Emma Dalton, so I knew this book would be a must read. After that series, I had high expectations of this book and it did not disappoint. I felt that Landon's character was so well developed and interesting. The story follows a girl named Katie whose mom passed away (her dad left early on in her life) and how she adjusts to moving to her Aunt's town. Her Aunt is good friends with the Ross family and she ends up in a love triangle with the two twin brothers. This book was so cute and I would recommend it to anyone for a sweet romance or a fan of My Life With the Walter Boys. It gave me vibes from that show, but with hockey instead of football. The cliffhanger at the ending! No words. I need Landon to be okay for the sake of myself. It was an enjoyable read, and the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there were some cringe lines throughout the book.


A clean, sweet ya romance that I would say is ages 13+ (maybe 12+, depending on the maturity) there was no language through the book

Emma Dalton is such an underrated author!

This book was sooooooooooooooooo good I need book two immediately😆😆😆

[Layla Consie · Rating 1.75 out of 5]

I think this book is 1.75 stars simply because of the plot. If you read my reviews of Emma Dalton’s books, you’ll know that I don’t really like them, mostly because I feel like the writing isn’t my favorite and it’s targeted towards a younger level than I’m used to even though I probably should be reading more books like this for my age. . . But this book I somewhat enjoyed if we’re talking in terms of the plot???

Now, I can NEVER predict things that happen in books, and I normally don’t try, but when I say that this is the most predictable book I have ever read in my entire life, I mean that this is the most predictable book I have ever read in my entire life😒 From the sort of love triangle to Landon’s car accident, I was not at all surprised that anything happened.

I was NOT attached to the characters. I thought Dylan was cringey, Kaylie was literally one of the most pick me girls I’ve ever read about in my entire life and it annoyed the crap out of me, and then Landon was annoying and he was portrayed as “damaged” and whatever so much and it was constantly making excuses for him so that I felt like throwing something.

I think I was cringing really hard throughout this book and I knew I wouldn’t like it which is on me I just wanted a quick read because. . . Why not?

The grief in this book was. . . Ok. I liked Ruby’s story and how her family was portrayed and stuff I guess, but. . . Uh. . . I find this happening a lot where the characters are grieving and they’re always grieving and then blaming their stupid behavior on the grief and it makes me angry. That happened with Landon a lot and I feel like the author was protecting him from me not liking him by reminding me that he lost his sister and that did make me not like Landon.

Also, Kaylie and Dylan became “best friends” after like 10 pages🤨

Lia. . . I love that name, but I think that the thing with best friends in books like these is that they don’t have their own lives and their own stories. Lia was just in the story to talk to Kaylie and make Kaylie feel better and be invested in Kaylie’s life. She was just there so the author had an excuse to mention Landon and Dylan and make sure we knew they were hot, and I would have really liked it if the author had given us more of Lia and built her as a diverse character and made her have her own storyline instead of just making her exist for Kaylie’s constant constant constant constant constant needs and complaints. For example, I haven’t read the books, but Aly in the Off Campus show. She had her own life and her own problems and Hannah respected that.

As for continuing the series? Maybe🤷‍♀️ not right away probably, but perhaps in the future if I just want a random book to pick up.

I think my thing is that the plot is always so good and interesting and you could go so many ways with it, but unfortunately, the author’s writing style is far too childish for me and I don’t like it at all. Also, I never get emotionally attached to the characters or care about them at all, so that just makes the experience less fun.

Sorry😥

What the actual heck. . .

Um Emma Dalton wth, I was enjoying this book I had a feeling the FMC was about to get together with her love interest, I was planning which book I was gonna read after this, and I then suddenly there's a CONFLICT with 14pgs left in the book. I kept telling myself "it's fine, we're gonna fix this. . ." Until I make it to the end and there's a FRICKIN' CLIFFHANGER. what happened to my "sweet" YA Romance 😭

This was a three-star read for me, but I bumped it up to four because I loved the locker notes and how the twins handled their sister’s death.
The issues I had were mostly age-related. Why did kids who had recently been through trauma and barely had their driver’s licenses own cars and drive a motorcycle in the middle of winter?
It is an inspiring read, though, and worth a try.

Fun YA romance!

[Annie Hart · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best books I have every read!!!

[JJ Maybanks gf (P4L) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honestly, one of my favourite YA romance novels. I am in love with Landon, I think he is the best character, I love how they have that mutual respect after both experiencing loss. But,the cliff hanger I don’t know if I can go on… I cant bear losing Landon.
