And when she discovers the shocking reason that Tom has left home, she’ll need to trust her heart even more . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This heart-wrenching romance from Toon (Only Love Can Hurt Like This) jumps between seven summers in the life of Olivia "Liv" Arterton. In the present day, Liv, who feels stuck in her small hometown on the Cornish coastline, finds herself drawn to her elusive new summer tenant, Tom Thorton—then a man from her past, Finn Finnegan, returns. Six summers ago, when Liv and Finn first met, life was different. Liv, who still dreamed of an art career, was immediately taken with Finn, an aspiring musician from L.A. Their connection was magnetic but slow-burning, culminating in a steamy night at summer's end—a night that ended in personal tragedy for Liv, derailing her plans. With Finn returning to the States, they made a pact to reconnect every summer, as long as they're both still single. Now Liv is caught in a gut-wrenching love triangle, forced to choose between her past with Finn or a potential future with Tom. The emotional roller-coaster of Liv and Finn's relationship is made more intense by Toon's nonchronological storytelling. Liv coming into her strength and recovering from grief is given equal weight to the romantic story line, but the relentless pain and tragedy of her life makes this not for the faint of heart. Readers who like their romances on the angsty side will want to snap this up.
