I have read every Paige Toon book since the beginning and this did not disappoint. In true Toon style it was heartwarming, heartbreaking and heart-wrenching in all the best ways! I devoured this as always, her writing style is perfection and her character development is enchanting. I can safely say I am still one of her biggest fans.
So Paige Toon has done it again with another heartwarming but heartbreaking book! I’m so, so pleased I got early access to this as I just don’t think I could have waited until it’s release date. The cover is stunning, the title is fab and the story is so wholesome which that hint of trauma. Loved it.
We got treated to some wonderful but complex characters in this book. The main lead Wren is just beautiful. Such a lovely, but slightly insecure woman. So caring and kind and you just tooted through her throughout the entire book.
Bailey was gorgeous and fab. The younger half sister with a zest for life who loved without condition. What a fab relation to have.
I loved sanders and Jonas. Would have liked more of a back story as to why Jonas felt the way he did. I feel there was more potential there with his back story that I would have liked more on.
Anders was a respectful guy. A lovable, heartbroken guy who you just wished happiness and love for.
I’d love to see these characters in another book! I feel we have so much more of this story to go! So much more to see with them all.
Can it be done Paige Toon? Pretty please.
Only Love Can Hurt Like This is told from first person POV from the character of Wren. The book stars with Wren as she sees her fiancé in love with another woman. They break up and Wren moves to America where her father lives. Wren then meets Anders who lost his wife four years ago and Is finding it hard to move on. Wren and Anders heal together but Anders is keeping a secret. This was well written and easy to read but it wasn’t very compelling. This was my last chance with Paige Toon as I just don’t connect with her work like I used to. The story was enjoyable but I didn’t feel anything towards it which is why it is a three star for me.
