A lovely read from Paige Toon; it's written in her usual style and is very enjoyable. The story covers a lot of loss, but also love and hope. The characters feel believable and I enjoyed reading their story. There's nothing groundbreaking about this story, it's simply one to enjoy. There's nothing too taxing to remember or think about and I liked how it is structured by summers, which is cleverly done .

Yet again I was lucky enough to get an arc of my favourite authors new book! So thank you both NetGalley and Paige Toon

This book was such a lovely read. As some who adored Cornwall this was perfect. My favourite book of Toons is Give years from now and this really gave me the vibes I needed after the heartbreaking ending of that novel. Although this book has a lot of heartache, and almost brought me to tears at one point, I loved it. It still hasn’t beaten five years from now but it’s very close! I loved the characters in this. I loved the love story, or should I say triangle, I just loved it. Another corker from Paige Toon.

I was delighted to get the opportunity to read this story. Paige Toon is an absolute master at emotional storytelling that packs a punch. Seven Summers is another joy to read that was over all too quickly. Toon manages to draw you in deeply to Liv's world so you feel invested in every moment. The rugged Cornish setting adds to the emotions and felt like a familiar comfort from the point of view of a British reader. The chapters hop between past and present, then future and are well woven to slowly add to the picture we have of Liv. I found the journey the story ends up following made for a really satisfying ending that brought everything together. A delight!

It’s a book about loss and love, let go and allow love

The story is set in different times,
Seven summers ago: Liv returned to her hometown St. Agnes in Cornwall after she finished university. Live ist to start now, she ist full of energy and sees herself in London soon. While working at the Seaglass Bar she meets Finn, a former classmate, singing as a lead singer of a band at Seaglass…
Now: Liv meets Tom, who rents one of her apartments…

We follow both relationships over the last seven summers and this summer.

It’s such a heartwarming and incredible story. I loved every word, the setting was perfect and the main characters are wonderful. I loved, that I couldn’t figure out the end and when I was done, it was perfect.

I have read all her books and have to say, this is my new favorite!

I cannot believe this is only the second book I've read by the author as I absolutely adored both this and her previous novel Only Love Can Hurt Like This.
Seven Summers is the love story of Liv and Finn who meet in a bar in St Agnes in Cornwall and over the summers that follow the reader is drawn into their relationship.
Once again this is a moving and emotional read by the author, and what could be a cliched and predictable read is made so believable in the hands of Paige Toon. I love her descriptions of places and here she brings St Agnes and its community to life. She skilfully portrays family relationships, the ties we have to our family and writes so sensitively about grief and loss. I loved the character of Liv and over the course of 24 hours I felt a part of her world and was bereft when I finished this gorgeous novel.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this digital ARC.

Seven Summers brings us a tale of heartbreak and an overwhelming feeling of finality.

As someone who has read every single book Paige has ever written more than 5 times, I can say going into this book I was prepared to have my heart ripped out. What I wasn’t expecting was for it to be ripped out, put back together, ripped out again and then for it to come full circle.

The books starts out with Liv returning home from Uni where she gets to finally hang with friends and enjoy her summer before she takes the leap for a big move. One night she’s out and she see a guy she knew of from secondary school, fast forward they spend time together until he leaves to head back home to American. But not after comforting her after something traumatic happens and promising he will be back the following summer. And if they’re still single….. this goes on for 6 years where on that 6th year it stops. Now comes the 7th summer where a new guy walks into her life and she has to choose.

Now I won’t tell you the ending obviouslyyyyy but from this point on, hearts will shatter so prepare yourself.

Paige has managed to once again managed to rip my heart out, twice. The twists and turns definitely had me blindsided in all the best ways but they all still managed to make me cry.

I will forever and always buy a novel by Paige, even without reading the Blurb. I love everything she writes.

So thankful to receive this arc.

Thank you to Net gallery, Penguin group Putnam and Paige.

Now I’m about to go and reread all of Paige’s books in publish order once again.

Well, the Literary Queen Paige Toon has done it again. Just when you go and think her most recent book was possibly her best, she comes back and surpasses herself.

This one is so hard for me to review because I'm after having just finished and still have tears in my eyes and the biggest lump in my throat, but I'll try!

The story is set in Cornwall which is described so beautifully, the details so vivid and I connected so well that the place began to feel familiar, although I've never visited.

The people - Liv, Finn and Tom being the key characters - it felt like truly real people. Their pain, desires, flaws. It's so difficult believing they are fictional! I found myself forgetting I was even reading and feeling as if I were truly following these people as their lives played out.

The story is set over seven summers, as the title suggests, the previous six summers and the present. Time jumps can be difficult as a reader but as Paige has written these before, I wasn't worried and instead felt anticipatory. And the outcome was so worth it.

I won't spoil anything but I rooted for one person, then changed my mind, then decided I would be happy with whoever Liv chose to make her happy but I also cried so many times during this book. It is just heartbreaking and I'm now emotionally wrecked.

Thank you once again, Paige Toon. I don't know how you write like this and am in awe of your genius.

5⭐

Omg Paige Toon! What have you done to me. I actually dreamed about the characters during the week as I was reading this incredible story that I didn't want to end. I loved Finn and Tom. Parts of this book were so raw and i cried last night when I finished it.

As always Paige Toon's books have me feeling such a range of emotions. I always enjoy reading her books.

Really enjoyed this one but that’s nothing new I have loved all of Paige’s book! I loved the characters and going back to the past summers I read it in 2 sittings!

What a beautiful book I just don’t know where to start with this review I am an emotional wreck.

Seven Summers Is all about Liv and her life in St Agnes Cornwall which was a fantastic setting. I loved Seaglass, Beach Cottage, the cove, and I could just picture everything exactly as Paige described.

Without spoiling the beautiful story, Liv has a lot of trauma in her life and Finn her first true love tries his best to support her while living in LA and also following her wishes.

The characters were all perfect, I loved Liv and just wanted her to be happy and fulfilled. Finn was lovely and so was Tom. I didn’t expect the book to take such twists and turns and the last few chapters blew me away.

An amazing, poignant, heartbreaking yet happy book I would urge everyone to read at least once.

Thanks to Netgalley, Random House UK, Cornerstone and Paige Toon for an advanced copy in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.
