Book Synopsis:
THE INTOXICATING NEW LANCASTER PREP NOVEL FROM THE TIKTOK SENSATION AND AUTHOR OF A MILLION KISSES IN YOUR LIFETIME
Weston Fontaine is the hottest senior at Lancaster Prep.
He could have any girl on campus, except for one.
Me.
I’m a Lancaster, meaning I’m basically untouchable – or so I thought. My family owns the school which I have to endure before I can return to what I love most: ballet.
West doesn’t make my time here easy. He’s arrogant. Crude. Insufferable. Yet he’s the only boy I’ve ever let touch me . . .
You see, West and I? We share a secret. In Paris, I revealed parts of myself to him I’ve never shown anyone else. And he did the same.
So what happens when you helplessly fall for the one person you know is bad for you? . . .
My Review:
I’ll Always Be With You is a heartwarming, addictive, rollercoaster read from a new author for me.
Firstly I thought that the author created the perfect setting in this slow burn romance and I enjoyed experiencing Lancaster Prep alongside the characters. A public school is the perfect pressure cooker type environment for lots of drama- emotional and otherwise. It’s an environment I remember well from my own school days and it made me very happy that I wasn’t there anymore.
The two main characters West and Caroline were interesting creations and I enjoyed following them throughout the book. I didn’t particularly warm to either of them as I felt West was too full of himself and Caroline was too standoffish. It was great to get to know the characters more and discover the hidden layers in their personalities which made them more likable. It was nice to see how they bought out the best in each other and to see them gradually grow closer.
Overall I thought the book had a great pace to it and there always seemed to be something happening to keep my attention. The book does start off a bit slowly but soon picks up and becomes quite addictive. My only slight niggle was I felt some of the scenes were a little drawn out but I don’t think I’m the target audience for this book so other people might think differently. This is the fourth book in the series but I think it could easily be read as a standalone like I have done.
Huge thanks to Jenny from tandem collective for inviting me onto the read-along and for my copy of this book.
