This was my first read in the series and by this author. It definitely can be a standalone. This book is a "falling in love with my friend/enemy" story told from different points of views. We meet Krystina, who wants to travel, expand her blog and be "insta" famous. She works hard at planning her outfits, photoshoots and uploads. When Krystina and her family take a trip to find their long lost grandfather... she finds that what she thought she knew isn't what is real. Longtime family friend Loukas tags along and goes through some tough situations with Krystina. This trip makes her think differently about and love and learn that love is worth fighting for.
I loved the characters and the way the story goes back and forth between past and present.
