In one word, it's a perfection, I'm absolutely speechless by how good that book was, it's worth the wait.
That was one hellova ride, an unexpected one, with lots of tension and energy, we got surprises, things we totally didn't expect, and more importantly, we go one of the most beautiful relationships.
We've got to see some of Giorgio and Martina in WSU, but whatever your first impression about them was, forget it and start a new page, it couldn't be farther from the truth.
I loved Giorgio "although there were time I wanted to smash his head" he's amazing, he has a plan and wants nothing more than completing it, he has his future designed, he know what he wants and how to get it, but then Martina come through the doors to his life, and those plans jump out the window, and try as he does, he couldn't stay away from her, she's his temptation, he's risking everything but he can't deny his desire for her.
Martina, the sweetest girl I've seen in book one, turns out, she's not the sweet teenager girl who's spoiled and does nothing wrong, she's a strong one, she's suffering, doesn't know how to deal with her problems, but once she sets her sights on something, she doesn't give up. And I mean AT ALL COSTS.
I loved how their relationship grew, it wasn't out of the blue, she didn't wake up one day and said "I feel like I want him", he didn't see her and was like "oh she seems like the one, I'll forget everything to get her" nope, you'll get the whole cycle, from the moment they decided they hate each other, till the "I love you" part, which wasn't a fast one.
Absolutely adored them, they're the perfect couple to read about, and to make it better, she's the one doing the temptation right here, she starts th whole "I want you" while he's in denial.
The plot twist about Giorgio's past wasn't something I saw coming, i was sure I knew everything, just to be shocked about it, that's not something I expected, neither was Polo's truth, who he really was, and I still haven't made peace with what Polo did in the end, I hate that, reread the whole scene just to make sure it's not a mistake.
To sum it all up "don't know how the hell I'll sum this book up lol" WST was a complete perfection, with some surprises and the best spice.
Ms Gabrielle did it again and now I'm here waiting for book three, more than excited to read it after that last scene.
