I first heard of Iliana in June this year when I had seen a lot of videos on BookTok about the novel "Love, Mom" which then made me decide to throw my whole upcoming TBR at that point in time on hold, why you ask? Because I decided that I "Had" to read the novel straight away and I loved it! 

When I seen on NetGalley that there was another one but called "All Eyes On Him" available I thought omg I need this, and I took my chance by applying for it. I would like to thank Iliana, NetGalley & the publishers Poisen Pen Pressed for the opportunity on reading it!

And shall I also add that I was hooked, line and sinkered and couldn't put the story down, which also then made me finish it practically in 24 hours! It was more than what I expected, and the story line was amazing! From the prologue I was waiting patiently (but not so patiently) to find out what actually happened to Emily, learning that at the last 25% ish of the book would tell you what happened and it was so worth finishing to find out. 

This book was all I could talk about this week at the school with my group of parents I hang out with, and some of them were like "Yes, we are going to look into the books from Iliana" so that was a YAY from me, and my bestie who is practically family is starting to think that maybe, just maybe she is going to get into reading all thanks to me. 

I won't say much about the story, because well I feel like if you go in blind with this book, it is so worth it for the read! Hence why there won't be much in the way of what happens, or sneak peaks etc! Because I really feel that going in without any information will make the book so much more worth it.

I fell in love with all the characters, the story line, and well the book in general. Would I read it again? Well yes I would and that would be the same for the book Love, Mom. Do I recommend it to people? Well that is for sure another hell yes I do, and i've told all my bookish friends about it. Am I looking forward to creating a video with the book and snippet quotes etc to get other people to read it (from social medias)? Hell yes I am so excited and cannot wait to create this next week!

Another thank you once again, another book that I just loved!
