I'll look for you, everywhere by Cameron Capello

Described as a love story, this is probably a story of troubled attraction, with multiple layers of angst, between Magdalen and Theo whose families have been connected since their parents were students. They both struggle with their past and keep secrets that complicate any chance of their love moving forward. Their physical attraction though is passionately intense and being back home in Italy adds heat to the possibility of a ‘forever relationship’. Magdalen’s reserved nature is transformed by Theo’s attention and touch, but can he be trusted? Will their past secrets, their families’ involvement, and their own personalities impede their future? 

Written with great intensity and from the perspective of each of the main characters, this has all the feel of an impossible romance with an X-rating. The physical connection between Magdalen and Theo is described in excessively intimate detail! This transforms the love story to a lustful, erotic narrative … more R-rated than M-rated.  This is a very adult book and not for under 18 readers. It has intense moments and some difficult personal issues. I would not recommend this book to any school-aged reader.

Themes: Romance, Erotica, Secrets, Italy, Family, Abuse.
