Emma - Star Crossed Reviews Extraordinary reader

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book and for letting me take part in this tour. I haven't been to Cornwall for a long time but I remember it being beautiful so I was very excited about returning.

This book has 3 main characters Claudia, Jason and Millie. Claudia and Jason clearly have some sort of attraction but they are so opposite it seems like it can never work. This is a classic hate to love story. Jason speaks before he thinks which gets him into trouble on more than one occasion. I loved Claudia's way of life. She is living life on her terms and no one else's. I respect her for standing up for her beliefs even when others disagree so strongly. I couldn't relate to either Claudia or Jason as my life situations are very different to theirs. I did, however, relate to Millie quite a bit. I understood her anger and pain.

I loved the location and it definitely had me longing for a week in the south-west of the country. Walking along the beaches bear foot with an ice cream. I can almost imagine it! This was a good summer romance story that shows you things aren't always what they seem at first. It's a nice easy read that is perfect for lazy summer afternoons.
