Thank you to JB for letting me take part in this blog tour. I have previously read Hopelessly Devoted to Holden Finn and enjoyed it a lot so I was very excited when I heard that Tilly had a new book out. I heard lots of chatter on twitter (literally the best place for book recommendations) about how great this book was and I knew I had to read it. I am also a HUGE fan of The Script so when I saw the title of this book I was immediately intrigued.

Ellie is a report for her local newspaper. She is extremely strong and brave. I don't know how she held it together with everything that was going on in her life. Between her parents and her aunt she had a lot of stress in her life. She does have some really great friends though. I really loved Patrick. I think I would have fallen for his charms if I worked at the Echo. Kas and Jethro were great characters too.

Ben is Mr Romantic. I mean any guy who camps on a street corner for a girl even for one night has to be beyond romantic right? Naturally, he's now made every guy hate him because their wives/girlfriends are all in love with him. The Constance Street girls were hilarious but also very protective of Ben, much to their husbands annoyance of course.

This book drags you through every emotion and when you finish that last page you feel like you have been through a such a journey. This book brought up a lot of feelings that I thought I had long buried. The emotional pain that Ellie and her family go through with her Aunt's illness really got to me.

This is a beautiful story which shows that you should never shy away from love because you're afraid you might get hurt.

Tilly is an amazing writer and I look forward to reading many more of her books in the future.
