About the Author After studying at the University of Montana-Missoula, Lia Riley scoured the world armed only with a backpack, overconfidence and a terrible sense of direction. When not torturing heroes (because c'mon, who doesn't love a good tortured hero?),Lia herds unruly chickens, camps, beach combs, daydreams about as-of-yet unwritten books, wades through a mile-high TBR pile and schemes yet another trip. She and her family live mostly in Northern California.

Beautiful, Sexy NA Contemporary Romance By Amazon Customer Okay, first off let me start by saying that if you only read one NA contemporary romance this year, it needs to be this one. This is a spectacular debut by Lia Riley.The main character, Talia, is running away from her problems. Her sister died in a car accident—one that happened when she was rushing home to check if Talia had left her hair straightener on. Talia (and her mother) blames her sister’s death on Talia’s OCD tendencies. With Talia’s life going to s***, she decides she needs a break from her life in California and chooses to study abroad in Australia. Lia does such a good job portraying a girl who is dealing with OCD. Talia’s discomfort rolled off the page, and I really felt for her. Her struggle with wanting to be normal, but her compulsion to do her rituals was heart-breaking and eye-opening. TALIA, I WANT TO GIVE YOU A HUG!Anyways…Fast forward to her new life in Australia. Talia is on her way to meet up with a guy who is a total wanker (never heard that term til this book and am now going to use it to describe every dirtbag I meet!) Right in front of the bar is where we meet Bran for the first time. The way Talia meets Bran is quite possibly the funniest “how we met” story ever. I won’t spoil it, but it involved a Kuala suit. And I snorted. In public.Bran is a very complex hero that kept me guessing the whole time. Not giving any spoilers, he has been through a lot with his ex-girlfriend, and the last thing he wants is to have a relationship. But the way Talia and Bran are drawn together is absolutely magnetic. The sex scenes were very steamy and well done.What I really loved about this story was that it wasn’t cookie cutter. These characters were truly flawed, but I loved them for that. Their problems were real and relatable. Also, the secondary characters, such as her friend Marti, who was HILARIOUS and I wanted to be her friend, also added so much to the story.This book made me run through the gamut of emotions. I laughed, cried, snorted, and wanted to punch Bran (the hero) in the nads (and also swoon majorly for him).Lia’s writing is so rich, and the characters are so complex, they literally pop off the page. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good laugh, cry, and beautifully-crafted story.

By stinamadsreads THE STORY:Talia is haunted by past memories of her dead sister and her own OCD symptoms are getting worse. When she learns that she's not going to graduate, she goes to Australia for six months as a foreign exchange student. She tries to hide her compulsions and the fact that she's just not dealing well with her sister's death behind a carefree attitude and tries to start over. But when she meets Bran, a surfer with a bad attitude, Talia can't hide anymore. Bran sees through her act and sees the pain she's trying to run away from. Bran has his own demons to battle and he knows that if he gets to close to Talia, she's going to be trouble. But he just can't stay away.THE COUPLE:Talia first meets Bran when he's in a koala suit fighting some businessman on her way to meet a friend at a local pub. She offers Bran her help, but he shoots her down straight. But it turns out that the friend she's meeting is also a good friend of Bran's, and she's not stuck with him and his bad attitude. While Bran's attitude sucks, the attraction between them is undeniable. Circumstances keep pushing them together and they get to actually know each other, and that is when everything changes. I really love Talia and Bran together. They both have been burned, they both have pasts they want to forget, and both are cautious as things change in their relationship. One thing I really liked about Bran is that even though he puts on the act of being a jerk, he's actually very sweet. He accepts Talia and her medical condition without flinching, and I think that's one of the big things that won her over - he didn't see her as a freak when he found out about her compulsions. Talia is very loving and that is something that Bran needs after what he went through in his last relationship. He sees her outward strength, but he also sees glimpses of fragility that undo him. So they both offer the other what they really need, and I think that's what makes them so perfect. But don't get me wrong, they still have a lot of problems and obstacles to work out.THE ROMANCE:So when a guy tells you that you're perfect and you deny it only to have him reply that you're only perfect for him is total swoon! Bran - he sure can be a jerk sometimes, but he does say some pretty romantic things when it really counts. That is probably my favorite romantic moment in the book, although there is a moment toward the end that I really loved too. All I'm going to say is that Bran overcame his fears to try to get Talia back. And how can you not fall for a guy who is attentive to your needs? Bran pays attention, which can be pretty intense, but it also shows that he cares and that is the most romantic thing a guy can do in my opinion.
6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Amazing Debut! By Three Girls and a Book Obsession I literally just finished Upside Down and needed to put my thoughts to paper immediately. First and foremost, I am convinced that Lia must be a relative of mine, perhaps my best friend with a pen name and some serious knowledge of Australia she has not shared with me. I have never, ever, connected with a character before but I swear that Talia and I are almost the same person. Well, only in character traits not her actual story. Off the Map is a beautiful story about love, heartbreak, loss and eventually healing all intertwined. To say I loved it is an understatement.Talia suffers from OCD. To some it may not be a big deal or even comical. But, knowing firsthand, it is a seriously debilitating disorder. You see, I suffer from this condition and the author did such an amazing job really showing how awful it can be. Talia’s OCD has been sent into a tailspin with the death of her older sister, Pippa who was also the perfect daughter. Subsequently, her grades have dropped drastically and she needs a change in scenery. So, Talia decides to study abroad in Australia or in her words, she calls her adventure, Talia 2.0 reboot. Throughout the book you really do watch Talia go through a sort of revitalization. During her time away from a place that is a trigger for her, she starts the healing process that sets her back on the right path giving her the direction that she needs“You’re perfect. You’re only perfect for me.”Bran is the first guy to give Talia a run for her money. Coming off a bad relationship, he has decided what better way to get closure and distance then to sleep with as many women as possible. From the get-go, this brooding surfer told Talia that he did not believe in love. So obviously, I just knew that his past relationship/breakup was really bad. Trust me, it was. But Talia was able to break through those barriers he set in place and get under his skin.“We fit.” I kiss his scruffy cheek. “You’re my perfectly imperfect key.”This story is told in dual POV but more so in Talia’s POV. I enjoyed Talia so much that I would’ve been entirely happy with just her. But I am glad that we got in Bran’s head a little too. Lia has to be one of the funniest authors out there. There is a certain part of the book that I reread twice because I could not stop laughing (trust me you will know it when you read it). The wittiness that she gave Talia was beyond entertaining (obviously another one of my traits). I am a bit dumbfounded on how this could actually be Lia’s debut novel. It does not read that way. At all.I cannot recommend this book enough. Between the humor, the fantastic chemistry between Talia and Bran it is a top recommendation for me.P.S. it is a series but no worries, there is no cliffhanger. The next book will be out soon.
