If you never get lost, you'll never be found...Twenty-one-year-old Natalia Stolfi is saying good-bye to the past-and turning her life upside down with a trip to the land down under. For the next six months, she'll act like a carefree exchange student, not a girl sinking under the weight of painful memories. Everything is going according to plan until she meets a brooding surfer with hypnotic green eyes and the troubling ability to see straight through her act.Bran Lockhart is having the worst year on record. After the girl of his dreams turned into a nightmare, he moved back home to Melbourne to piece his life together. Yet no amount of disappointment could blind him to the pretty California girl who gets past all his defenses. He's never wanted anyone the way he wants Talia. But when Bran gets a stark reminder of why he stopped believing in love, he and Talia must decide if what they have is once in a lifetime . . . of if they were meant to live a world apart.PRAISE FOR UPSIDE DOWN"Upside Down gave me all the feels.

0Such. An. Intense. Read.
See when I read books, I can easily place myself into the same position a character is in. I swear to god, every time Bran said something hot and seductive to Talia, a felt a shudder go down my body. And you KNOW an author is a great writer when the reader can feel these things.
My review? Everyone's been telling me to read it and explaining how amazing it is, and none of them are wrong. I loved this book. I love books that deal with exploring your horizons in a whole new world. I feel like Talia and I would be able to connect on an emotional level if we were ever to meet. She is such a strong character and I loved reading from her P.O.V.
As for Bran? Add him to my endless list of book boyfriends (but I'd put him in the higher rankings). That man made me lose my breath, caught me swooning, and I just wanted to give him a hug at certain parts in the book. It isn't hard for me to say that I actually love Bran.
I cannot wait for book 2! Here's one of my favourite quotes that had me swooning.
"Fuck it," he repeats, closing his eyes. His fingers flirt with the hem of my shirt, dip under to graze my bare stomach. "I told myself, I ordered myself, that I wasn't going to do this- but here's the funny thing, Talia." His lips brush my eyelids, my cheek, hesitating a fraction of a second over my mouth. "I can't stay away."
