In Italy it's a huge phenomenon. A lot of my friends keeps saying "Oh, it's such a beautiful love story! The best!" but I'm a little skeptical to buy it. It seems so dirty and bad-written. And I hate the fact it copies Twilight. Should I try to read it? Is it really worth? (Sorry for my bad English!)

Ok I haven't heard of it...But try to find the first couple of chapters of the book on the internet...Read them and if you like it go for it!!!
It does have a little bit of mature content. I'm not really into that, but it wasn't too much to make me not want to read it. That being said, I adore this book. I've been reading a lot lately, and this is the only book that kept me up all night reading. I've been trying to find a book that I loved as much as this one since and haven't been able to.
I have read other books of hers since and loved them too. I just ordered her Providence series last week. She's an amazing writer, and this is definitely a book worth reading!
Oh and btw, I don't see where it copies Twilight? Maybe I missed it, but to me, it's nothing like it.
I didn't find it copied Twilight either. It is more mature but not graphic or anything. By more mature I mean sex, but it's tame compared to other things I've read. There is also quite a bit of violence, he's a fighter. If anything his obsession with her, at one point was a bit too much. Maybe the stalker like quality is why it's being compared to Twilight (quite frankly, this seems to be the norm, i.e. 50 Shades of Grey) I did really like it. See if your library has it. That's what I do with most books I'm unsure of. If you don't like it, you aren't out of any money. If you do, you can pick up a copy! The author does have chapter one on her website. I've also read other of her books and have enjoyed them!
It reminded me Twilight because of the different POV of Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster (like Twilight and Midnight sun). And because of the classic love story, the perfect but bad guy falls in love with a girl with absolutely no talent or anything. But I think I'll give it a second chance, maybe I can borrow it from one of my friends. Thank you:)
Love this book! (Hope I'm talking about the same one) If it is, I definitely recommend it.
