I loved, LOVED this book! As soon as I finished I found myself wishing I had other books by Alexandra Potter that I could read. She has such an easy-going, entertaining writing style. I literally could not put this book down!
It tells the story of Lucy & Nate, 2 teenagers studying in Venice who meet & share an amazing summer. Of course they move back to the real world on separate continents thinking that they are meant to be together forever. I don't want to say anymore than that because I don't want to spoil the fantastic arc of the story! If you want to know more, I guess you'll just have to read the book yourself! I promise you will NOT be disappointed!!!!

I have been putting this book off for 2 years now and I have to say, I'm slightly disappointed in myself. Red Rising by Pierce Brown drips with all the goodies that Dystopian novels promise. The characters were interesting and I loved that there were mind games, physical games, and just some well written fight scenes.

I liked the plot but it did seem to borrow from many of the dystopian books I have read in the past. It became almost a game to compare books. That is the main reason I am giving this a 4 star review. I loved the plot but it did feel a little like a mashup of all of the recent and past dystopian books.

All in all, I enjoyed the characters the most and the plot was intriguing when I didn't feel like it was copying different books.
