My review copy: A copy of the book received from the publisher by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
Blurb:
I have spent every summer since I was ten years old with my father in London. Every summer, since I was ten years old, has been uneventful and boring.
Until this year.
And this year, after a freak volcanic eruption strands me far from home, I have learned these things:
1. I can make do with one outfit for three days before I buy new clothes.
2. If I hear the phrase, “You’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto,” even one more time, I might become a homicidal maniac.
3. I am horribly and embarrassingly allergic to jellyfish.
4. I am in love with Dante Giliberti, who just happens to be the beautiful, sophisticated son of the Prime Minister of a Mediterranean paradise.
5. See number four above. Because it brings with it a whole slew of problems and I’ve learned something from every one of them.
Let’s start with the fact that Dante’s world is five light-years away from mine. He goes to black-tie functions and knows the Prime Minister of England on a first name basis. I was born and raised on a farm in Kansas and wear cut-off jeans paired with cowboy boots. See the difference?
But hearts don’t care about differences. Hearts want what they want. And mine just wants to be Dante’s girl.
My heart just might be crazy.
Until this year.

My thoughts:
At first it feelt like this book was just a typical romance and that we would have to read about how wonderful it is to be with Dante in Caberra.
Yes, there was a lot of romance but still things happens that I didn't count on to happen which is good I have to say.
The language is good and very understandable since it seems to be that the book is meant to be for teens.
It is not a long story and it does not take that long to finish it which is good at some points.
Sine I'm a real sucker for stories with happy endings that also cointains some romance, drama, intrigues and accidents I really enjoyed reading this one.
To tell the truth I just want some more and want to find out what will happen in the second book in this bookserie:)
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
