THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
Escape to the summer and feel the warmth of Paige Toon's storytelling
Settling down for a 24-hour flight to Australia, Lucy finds a text message on her phone - not from her boyfriend James, as she fondly hopes, but from a woman claiming to have slept with him four times in the past month. Trapped on the plane, she questions everything about her relationship with James. She finally calls him and he reassures her: it was only his mates playing a silly joke.
James is a lawyer, persuasive and gorgeous and Lucy adores him. So why, at the wedding in Sydney of her best friend Molly, does she have niggling doubts, and find herself attracted to Molly's brother-in-law Nathan? The sooner she gets back to her regular life in London, the flat she shares with James, her job in PR, the better. Nathan is a happy-go-lucky surfer boy, with no prospects, no place to live, an almost-girlfriend in tow. And the other side of the world...
Lucy - a girl caught between two distant continents - and two very different men...
THE ONE WE FELL IN LOVE WITH was selected for the Zoella Book Club and Paige Toon's novels have been published across the world.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Paige Toon’s Inside Story: “Writing my debut Lucy in the Sky was one of the happiest times of my life—I was so absorbed in it. I’d wanted to write this story—of a girl getting caught between two countries and two men—for years. Because being caught by two countries was very much how I was feeling at the time. My parents and brother had moved back to Australia, and I was still in the UK with my boyfriend a job that I loved. I felt homesick, and sort of torn. I’d been thinking about the story for years, but was too scared to start writing. I just kept thinking, ‘How the hell do you fill out 100,000 words?’ I had this idea about a girl getting on a 24-hour flight to Australia and getting a text message from her boyfriend’s phone saying, ‘I’ve slept with your boyfriend four times this month.’ And then she has to switch her phone off—that’s the clinch. I ended up writing Lucy in the Sky in two and a half months alongside a full-time job. As soon as I started writing, I just fell in love with the process. It was like living in a movie inside my head.”
