Even though I loved the setting of the book, the love story of Theo and Magdalen was hard to read. They both had traumatic experiences in their lives that made it difficult to come together as a couple and maybe partially due to this, he kept hurting her and leaving her. I do believe they loved each other though. I did like how although the ending wasn't what I was expecting (I had to reread the last few chapters a few times because I was shocked), I like to believe that the last couple lines could mean there was hope for their relationship yet.

I was given an ARC of #IllLookForYouEverywhere by #NetGalley. This review does not contain spoilers.

Magdalen “Maggie” Savoy and Theo Sinclair are your modern day Romeo and Juliet. The Savoys and Sinclairs are neighbors and family friends for decades in the small town of Chivasso in Italy and the secrets of both families past carried by Theo and Magdalen sent them running and a wedding forces them to confront the past all summer long. I’ll look for you everywhere is a slow burn romance with the best friend’s brother/sister trope that the truth will hopefully set Magdalen and Theo free.

I did enjoy the story, but felt that there were too many irrelevant side plots and when the truth came out, there wasn’t enough outcry by the FMC and MMC to confront their problems and heal their families and themselves. I will say that the writing of the character traits of Maggie and Theo were a bit wonky at times. I do suggest putting a trigger warning for child abuse.

3/5 stars

This book is full of secrets and facades, so you have no idea what is real and what’s going on, and if there’s an unreliable narrator or not. It was a bit much going on at times so it was hard to figure out what was happening. I think it was okay
Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers, and especially the author for this ARC in exchange for my honest review of the book!!

Great book!! Interesting characters and believable plot. The book was just the right length to tell the story. Would read another book by this author
