Two epic love stories. One impossible choice. The stunning new novel from Paige Toon.

Six summers ago

Liv and Finn meet working in a bar on the rugged Cornish coastline, their futures full of promise. When a night of passion ends in devastating tragedy they are bound together inextricably. But Finn's life is in LA with his band, and Liv's is in Cornwall with her family - so they make a promise. Finn will return every year, and if they are single they will spend the summer together.

This summer

Liv crosses paths with Tom - a mysterious new arrival in her hometown. As the wildflowers and heather come into bloom, they find themselves falling for one another. For the first time Liv can imagine a world where her heart isn't broken every year.

Now Liv must make an impossible choice. And when she discovers the shocking reason that Tom has left home, she'll need to trust her heart even more . . .

Paige Toon always writes the loveliest of books and this is no exception. 

I loved how the main narrative was from this current summer, but then we would get sections of a few chapters from each of the previous summers, since the first time that Liv and Finn meet. 

We get to see their love story play out, while being aware that things are a bit different with the current summer which Liv is actually interested in newcomer Tom. 

I loved seeing how this all unfolded and trying to work out just who Liv might end up with.  I loved all of the main characters, and was really rooting for happy ever afters for everyone! 

This was a joy to read, and was very entertaining. 

Thank you to Penguin and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
