Synopsis

One of those books I wish I could read for the first time again . . . It's beautiful, heart-wrenching, and something that everyone needs to read for themselves." -BooksbyMigs.com on Upside Down

It was only meant to last the summer . . .

Talia Stolfi has seen more than her share of loss in her twenty-one years. But then fate brought her Bran Lockhart, and her dark world was suddenly and spectacularly illuminated. So if being with Bran means leaving her colorless SoCal life for rugged and wild Australia, then that's what she'll do. But as much as Talia longs to give herself over completely to a new beginning, the fears of her past are still lurking in the shadows.

Bran Lockhart knows that living without the beautiful girl who stole his heart will be torment, so he'll take whatever time with her he can. But even though she has packed up her life in California and is back in his arms for the time being, she can't stay forever. And the remaining time they have together is ticking by way too fast. Though fate seems determined to tear them apart, they won't give up without a fight-because while time may have limits, their love is infinite . . .

Goodreads review by Whitney on April 06, 2018

3.5 Stars This series is just so much fun. I know it’s probably written for Americans and so there’s lots of Australian stereotypes in here, but the characters and storyline make it so addicting. This is probably the only book I could describe as strictly a fun, lighthearted book. Most NA books deal......more

4 Meant for Each Other Stars Sideswiped is the second book in the Off the Map series and continues Talia and Bran’s story. Sideswiped picks up where Upside Down leaves off.

Goodreads review by Charlotte on September 11, 2014

I feel very blessed to have read this book. Bran and Talia are a tantalisingly perfect couple who face very real hurdles in their 22 to 24 year old lives that isn't normally covered in NA books of late. Firstly, if you haven't read Upside Down then I suggest you pick up a copy pronto. The story carri......more

Goodreads review by Danielle on September 06, 2014

Oh how I wanted to love this book like I did the last one but I just can't say that. I'm honestly kind of disappointed with Sideswiped. It was so mellow-dramatic and I'm emotionally exhausted now that I've finished. I loved Bran and Talia in the first book but in this one they both kind of annoyed m......more

Goodreads review by Megan on September 13, 2014

Bran and Talia continue to be one of my absolute favorite couples in New Adult. I love Lia's writing style and I want to roll around in her words and purr. Updated: I'm obsessed with this couple. They are in my head and my heart and they are REAL to me, dammit. Lia Riley took some amazing themes in th......more
