So…I ended up reading this because I got the ARC for Branded hearts (which is out now and that review is coming very soon). 

Let me just say I am glad I did. To start, this book was very cute making me both blush and giggle. I did struggle with the Australian lingo BUT the way I see it is I learned some new terminology! So that was actually really cool. 

Here’s what I did not expect: I DID NOT EXPECT TO BE A SOBBING MESS for the last 20% of this book. Like excuse me? 

The love story between Isla and Xavier was everything and this book was DRAMATIC, but in the best way. 

I fully enjoyed how Isla’s insecurities with her weight and dealings with anxiety were touched on because it was REAL and I feel Elle did a wonderful job portraying how that can really be. 

The other emotional parts? AMAZING job. I actually couldn’t believe this was a DEBUT novel. It takes a lot to make me cry in a book. This one really did me in.
