About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Three days to fall in love. Six years to try to forget.

Ellie didn’t expect to fall in love while travelling in Europe. But she also didn’t expect to meet a man like Ash.

Three blistering days in Lisbon is all it takes to form an unforgettable connection – deep enough for them to plan to meet again in Madrid. But Ellie arrives late, and Ash is nowhere to be found.

Six years later, the memory of Ash and their time together still burns deeply in Ellie’s heart. She hopes that her dream job as a gardener on a grand estate in Wales will bring the fresh start she desperately needs.

But when Ash unexpectedly crashes back into her life, Ellie is forced to question if the universe has other plans...

Praise for What if I Never Get Over You:

'A sweeping love story that is deep, complex and so, so riveting. I devoured this novel in one glorious gulp and still wanted more. Paige Toon’s ability to weave longing, hope, devastation and joy into one powerful, heart-tugging love story is nothing short of spectacular' Jill Santopolo

Critic reviews

'What a rollercoaster of emotions! Another beautiful offering of love, heartache, belonging, self-worth, obstacles, passion, duty and strength. A perfect book to escape into. I’m bereft that I’ve finished – a feeling I always get from Paige’s books!'
'What If I Never Get Over You was such a beautiful read. A truly gorgeous love story with a hero everyone is going to fall head over heels for. I loved it' (Beth O’Leary)
'Without a doubt, Paige's best book to date. What If I Never Get Over You has all the hallmarks of a classic Paige Toon read - heartfelt, utterly swoonworthy and full of twists to make you gasp. As always, Paige packs in the emotion and I was smitten with Ellie and Ash's love complicated story from the start. My forever favourite, no one writes romance quite like Paige Toon' (Lindsey Kelk)
'A breathtaking, unforgettable tale of fate, class, family, the universe, and love. Paige Toon’s writing is utterly charming'
'A truly unputdownable story drenched in romance and drama... romance at its best'
Paige Toon’s best yet.

The only thing that would make this better - would be the same story from his perspective with a male narrator. For the full package. It’s beautiful. The only book I’ve ever gone back and listened to straight away!

Adore this love story

The narration for starters is awful. I like Anna Acton on Calm but her reading this story was dire. Terrible Welsh accent and male voice, and it was told like a child’s story book rather than any sort of passion coming through. Every other sentence in the story went back to ‘Stella’ and it just got tedious so I gave up after chapter 4. Sorry :-(

Annoying

Gripped from the start

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Other early readers on here seem to absolutely love “What If I Never Get Over You”. However, I was left somewhat disappointed. I love Paige Toone and I have read each of her books loyally since my late teens, I am now in my thirties. There are very few authors I can say that about. I find, though like anything in life, I have preference and this book wouldn’t be my favourite nor my least favourite of hers. For me it ranks in the middle. I think the concept was great and would make a great film. I struggled with the narration by Anna Acton, which some loved. She is well known for her work on the Calm App particularly on stories for children and fairytales and I think that was the problem that it was read a bit like a bedtime story for kids. She has a lovely clear voice but it didn’t fit such an emotionally charged story and it made Ellie sound like a much more mundane character than she was. She is conflicted and flawed as is Ash. I just felt this narration didn’t fit the story at all. I would wonder how I felt about this book if I had read it the old fashioned way. I probably didn’t connect with this story as much as I did with others of Paige as I felt the side characters were not particularly well fleshed out and I think it would have been a case of less is more… If you haven’t read Paige Toone before or you haven’t read her in a few years, I would highly recommend “Only Love Can Hurt Like This” which was published two years ago in 2023 and I loved. However, some people seem to like the narration, so give this a go but I just felt the storyline wasn’t as well paced as in many of her other books. However, as usual she nailed the sense of place and the heartache and drama between Ellie and Ash. Also, it is an interesting look at class in modern Britain.

Love Paige Toone but a little torn on this book… Narration style didn’t match the story in my opinion…
