Full freaking Tilt!!! How could I not give this book 5 stars. This book was absolutely incredible, moving, and I fell in love with Emma’s writing.

This book, at its heart is a beautiful story about sacrifice and being with someone until the end no matter what. Emma’s words her so emotive and the storyline was captivating, I could not put it down.

Full Tilt follows the love story of Jonah and Kacey. Jonah Is an artist with a beautiful soul and has a heart condition while Kacey is an upcoming rockstar, unsure of her place in life. Together, these two form a comfortable friendship which transpires into them not being able to stay away from eachother, even until the very end.

These characters were complex and strong, and their journey was one I am so happy I read, I felt their pain with them and it brought me to tears. The ending of this book was devastating but Emma delivered. Truly amazing!

This book shattered me in the best way. Kacey and Jonah’s story is raw, aching, and utterly unforgettable. It’s the kind of love story that leaves you breathless and broken, but so, so glad you experienced it.

Full Tilt by Emma Scott is a beautifully emotional, intense romance that captivated me from the very first page. The story follows two complex characters, each struggling with their own personal demons, who come together in a way that feels raw and real. The depth of the emotions portrayed in this book hit me hard, and I couldn’t help but be pulled into the lives of these characters as they navigated through heartbreak, love, and the journey of healing.

I finished the book in one sitting—it's that compelling. The pacing is spot-on, with just enough tension to keep you turning pages, but also moments of tenderness that provide a sense of emotional balance.

What I loved most about Full Tilt was how Emma Scott captured the vulnerability of her characters. Their development feels authentic, and their chemistry is undeniable. The story doesn’t shy away from difficult topics, but it handles them with care, adding depth to the characters without overwhelming the reader.

That said, the book does explore themes of grief and healing, so it’s not without its heart-wrenching moments. If you're looking for a light, carefree romance, this might not be the book for you. But for those who enjoy emotional rollercoasters and powerful, heartfelt narratives, this will absolutely hit the mark.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to readers who love stories that dive deep into the emotional complexities of life and love. It’s a must-read if you’re in the mood for something that’s equal parts heartache and hope, with characters that will stay with you long after the last page.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bloom Books for the opportunity to read and review this book. This is a highly recommended romance novel and worth the read if it sounds interesting to you.
I think for me personally, this is an adult version of The Fault in Our Stars but better. As the reader out of the gate, you know that one of the characters have a heart transplant so they have to deal with the consequences of that plus they discover a new person in their lives albeit truly unexpectedly.

There are quite a few trigger warnings with verbal abuse, alcoholism, terminal illness, and child abandonment.

I love these characters in the aspect that they all brought something to the table (even the ones you had to hate because of how awful they are.) plus the guy character oh my gosh he is on my book boyfriend list now because of all the profound words he says and how important the girl is to him. I cried quite a bit with this as well because of how well the writing of both characters hit me so hard in the best way.

One of my favorite parts of this as well was the discussion of all the creative outlets of all the poetic quotes, the songwriting, the glassblowing, and inking all in the same book without feeling like it was thrown into the book just for the sake of being there.

Overall, I loved this book very much and it may beat the fault in our stars for favorite book like this (its possible but I may have to reread that book to be sure). I would definitely recommend this for people who enjoy profound deep contemporaries such as this one. Because of these points, I have to give this a 5 out of 5 stars

This is one of my fave books I’ve read this year, it was so emotional, so impactful & I loved every single second of it. It had me from the jump, it never lagged & I wanted more!!! Loved this.

Somebody sedate me😭😭
Why?
Again I fell in love with a book and with him and my heart is in a million pieces right now.
I cried and I cried and I cried.

Jonah is my bab.
He is everything and when I mean everything.
I MEAN EVERYTHING.
OH MY POOR HEART😭

"I would love you forever, Kacey, if I only had the chance."
