This book has my heart. I read this book when I was a teenager, fast forward a couple of years and I still love this book! I just love it so much. The writing is everything. I honestly dont even know what to say but if you're considering on picking this up then please do. It's a cheesy romantic read but very worth it. I can see myself reading this numerous times in the future. I just love it so much, this book clearly has my heart.

September 14, 2023rozbawila mnie ta książka, raczej nie powinna, ale no coz. główna bohaterka zachowywała się momentami jak dziecko, jednak miło mi się czytało tę opowieść.

This is a cute little summer read though the age difference is seriously Creepy. Do you honestly expect someone to not be able to tell the difference between a 22 year old and a 16 year old?

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.

Sooo good.
Read this in the summer of year eight, soo i would have been 13. I was on holiday and I was bored so i decided to read my little sister's book. This was the first book I have ever read.
After skipping a few chapters i could not put it down - this book was as alive to me as the days when movies felt so real. If you are trying to get your daughter or in fact any young girl into reading, this is the book to start them on. Don't tell them you read though, if you have, the feeling of exclusivity really enhances the connection with the book.
I loved this book, without liking reading books... it cured me lol..XOXO.:)

I think is a really good girly romance book. When I read this book I found great because it was fast paced. There ages didn't matter because they both really fell in love with each other.
