Synopsis
At sixteen, Izzy longs to be like her older sister Ellie. Ellie seems to have everything Izzy would like - a devoted boyfriend, highlights in her hair, a glamorous life style, loads of sophisticated friends, and at twenty-two she is treated like an adult by their parents. However, for her birthday, Izzy receives the gift of a lifetime. Ellie is going on holiday to Ibiza with her friends and she offers to take Izzy with her! At last Izzy has a chance to hang out with an older crowd and do all the things she's dreamed of...Izzy uses this as a chance to pretend that she is much older, and she manages to catch the eye of Rex, one of the DJs on the island. But can she keep up the pretence of being the same age as her sister? Falling in love with an older man might be 'cool', but it has its hardships. And then a tragedy reveals everything to Izzy...

Read it!,
By Anja "Anja" (Brighton Uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ibiza Summer (Cosmo Girl/Piccadilly Love) (Cosmo Girl/Piccadilly Love) (Paperback)
I found the book really easy to get into, the characters were interesting from the start. A lot of books written for girls of my age group start with a paragraph introducing the main character, which gets a bit repetitive after a while. Ibiza Summer launches straight into a conversation Izzy's having with her sister and her sister's friends, it grabs your attention and makes you want to read on.The book also covers teen issues like lack of self confidence. Izzy isn't confident about her looks or her body as she's always comparing herself to her sister. Rex makes her feel good about herself and restores some of that self confidence. Although I'm not like Izzy she reminded me sooo much of my friend with the confidence thing, and in the way that she took her relationship with this older guy so seriously and hid it from others. Overall the book was set out really well which made it a really easy read. I can get really bored with some of the books I'm reading and even not finish them; but I couldn't put Ibiza Summer down.

Summer in Ibiza,
This review is from: Ibiza Summer (Paperback)
If someone had asked me if I wanted to go on holiday with my older sister when I was sixteen, I would have probably said no. We were never that close as teenagers and I could think of many things I would have rather done than spend a whole three weeks with her. Due to that, I loved the idea behind this book. I couldn't wait to see what it would be like for Izzy being on holiday with her sister and her sister's friends and what her relationship with Ellie would be like.Izzy was a good character and one that I liked from the start. Being on holiday with her older sister and her friends who were all quite glamorous and grown up, brought out many insecurities in Izzy. She never felt like she was on the same page as her sister when it came to getting all dressed up to go out, she felt extremely frumpy and not good enough to be seen her Ellie and her friends. It was nice to see Izzy's confidence grow over the course of the book and that she began to really feel at ease with herself and who she was eventually. In this sense, Ibiza Summer really concentrates on issues that are important to teens on each end of the age spectrum. Anna-Louise Weatherley really gives a great voice to teens and knows what's on their minds. Rex was a fabulous love interest, even if I didn't really understand the relationship at times. Rex is a lot older than Izzy and although she lied to him about her age, it didn't sound as though she could pass for the age she made up and that he would have believed her. Even though Izzy was a nice girl, she didn't really have that much going for her to have so much in common with Rex. Sometimes, it seemed as though she was just going along with whatever he said or whatever he wanted to do because she didn't really know how to deal with boys and real dates etc. That being said though, I did like Rex and everything about him. He was soulful, had a lovely personality and I think I would have kind of wanted him for myself. One of the things that I would have never expected from this book, mainly due to the cover, was for it to make me cry. I'm not just talking a little bit of crying either. I mean full blown, crying my eyes out until I could barely see the words on the page anymore. Things happen in Ibiza Summer that I wasn't prepared for at all so if you think you have the ending to this figured out, you will most probably be wrong. I thought that this was going to be a lovely, short, holiday romance novel but there is a lot more to it than that. Ibiza Summer is a good holiday read if you don't mind a bit of crying thrown in with romance, the ultimate party island and lies and betrayal. This book really has a bit of a mix of everything and I ended up liking it a whole lot more than I was expecting to, even if I didn't completely love it.

Girls will relate to this...,
By Little Miss Star*x "Little Miss Star*x" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ibiza Summer (Cosmo Girl/Piccadilly Love) (Cosmo Girl/Piccadilly Love) (Paperback)
From page one i could relate to the insecurities and feelings that Izzy felt as she got ready with her older sister and her friends, every teenage girl has confidence issues and this book really broke into it and i think it would help girls to realise that they shouldn't be so self conscious about themselves, Izzy typically thinks she doesn't have a very nice body yet older Rex thinks she's beautiful, i think its important that girls of every shape and size realise that even if they don't think they're attractive there will always be someone out there who does and this book will help them to think that. This a perfect teenage read with issues such as lying, drinking, love and decisions and consequences, if you have a teenage daughter i would highly recommend this!
