I needed to read this book after watching the movie to see which one I’d like better and I think I choose the movie.
However, I did enjoy checking out the differences and getting to read scenes that were cut out from the film.
This was so Wattpad coded and it makes total sense considering this was indeed a Wattpad story at the beginning, and It gave me all the After vibes with the bad boy/good girl relationship.
This book gave what it needed to give and I ate it up. I read it in-between other reads so it took me a month to finish… I guess since I had a notion of what it was about I had to take little breaks and read something new.
I do kind of regret not reading this book in its original language because the English translation was a bit weird and it kind of took me out of the story.
Nevertheless, I already have the second book and I’m even more excited to read that one before the movie this time!

This book had me captivated right from the very beginning, I absolutely flew through this book.
This book follows Nick and Noah, both individuals have gone through some sort of trauma during their childhood and now have found themselves step brother and sister due to their parents getting married. Nicks father is rich, and Noah and her mother Rafaela have come from a less privileged background. Noah has to learn how to adapt to her new life and deal with everything she knows being practically burnt to the ground, whilst also fighting new feelings that are bubbling under the surface for her angsty, moody step brother Nick.
I absolutely adored this book, the characters were so loveable and funny! The tension between these two was EVERYTHING. Nicks character development was honourable! He really grew, in the little space of two months, to be someone Noah truly needed and deserved. I love the both of them.
