Summary

Attraction is easy.... Falling in love can be hard.

When Hannah meets Sonny, she's irresistibly drawn to him: he's sexy and confident, but only in town on holiday. That's fine with Hannah - she doesn't do long-term relationships. And luckily for her, neither does Sonny. But before they can even so much as kiss, Sonny receives some shocking news and commits to making serious life changes - ones that can't and won't include romance.

With even a short fling now off the cards, Hannah and Sonny settle for being friends. But as summer hots up and their chemistry shows no signs of cooling, they start to question their reasons for shutting each other out.

Are they both too broken to find love? And if they tear down the walls between them, will they still like what's on the other side?

So good I brought it twice

I brought this book on my Kindle. I loved the story so much I had to get it on Audible. Hannah and Sonny are so likeable it makes you want to know their back story. And both have very sad things to come to terms with. I found myself willing them to make it, they are so perfect together. I also fell in love with the dog. This is such a great book, one I found I couldn't put down. If you love Paige's work as I do you will love this book. I recommend it. There is also mention of someone we've met before, I love the way Paige dose this.

Irritating use of English requires edit

The phrase "10 to the dozen" can mean most when related to things (i.e. most things) but means slowly if related to speed (i.e less than full pace which would be 12 to the dozen). Fast is "nineteen to the dozen". I tried to ignore this the first time it was used incorrectly but this phrase seems to be a favourite of this author. It is used more than once in this book by Paige Toon and also in at least one other of her books and it grated more each time!!

Very very detailed, but quite nice still

Don’t think I’ve ever read (listened) to a book that is so full of details. The author describes the surrounding environment and how people look and behave to the point of it almost being too much. But at the same time it’s quite lovely too. Don’t really know how I felt about it, it’s just a very prominent feature of this book.
It’s quite soppy at times, but also complex. I like how the characters constantly grow and change. A pleasant listen overall.

Not what I was expecting…

Although the book was not at all what I was expecting, I have thoroughly enjoyed the ride! Both Hannah and Sonny have their own baggage, that to an degree they have carried for so long it has claimed their future happiness. But with outside help, their own acceptance and each other, they can have their happily ever after.

This is a beautifully written story of love and friendship. I hope you enjoy the ride too!

Faultless performance!

Beautiful book

Beautifully written and emotional book, as an identical twin I could relate in some way to how Hannah felt, I loved both characters I didn't want the book to end

Loved it

I don’t usually like romance because it’s predictable but honestly there was so much more to this story. I listened to it whilst I worked and just loved it.

Surprising story

I have never read a book with 2 stories like this before. I was totally gripped from the start all the way to the end and listened to the book in one day. A lovely happy ending as well, left me with a pleasing smile on my face 😊

Paige (toon) turner

Like all Paige Toon , it’s an easy read that keeps you wanting more. I liked all the charectors. It was a little “easy” in the sense they did have large real issues, but they were dealt with well and no real moment of “oh no” for me.
