APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Cambridge-based novelist Paige Toon specialises in epic, sweeping love stories and she’s certainly on top form here. A sun-baked holiday romance echoes down the years after Ellie meets Ash in Lisbon, while she’s travelling around Europe, and they spend three gorgeous days together. They plan to meet up again in Madrid but miss each other and that’s the end of that. Six years later, Ellie is hankering after a fresh start in life when her long-lost holiday boyfriend pops back up again, out of blue. We won’t spoil it for you but let’s just say it’s going to be emotional. Giovanna Fletcher describes this as “the perfect book to escape into” and we have to agree.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Toon (Seven Summers) breaks hearts with this poignant tale of love, loss, and second chances. Ellie Knapley and Ash Berkeley first meet in Lisbon, where they're each separately mourning their late best friends, and instantly feel a soulmate-level connection. After spending three steamy and hopelessly romantic days together, they make plans to meet up again in Madrid—only for Ash not to show up. Six years of no contact later, they're thrown back together under unexpected circumstances as Ellie, now a gardener for a British noble family, learns that Ash was never who she thought he was. Toon makes their reunion emotionally fraught as she skillfully fills in the blanks about why Ash abandoned Ellie all those years ago. The narrative works because their connection feels intense and palpable despite the compressed timeline of their initial affair. Enhancing the drama are some despicable villains, including Ash's father and Ellie's mother, and abundant miscommunication. Readers who like their romances on the angsty side are sure to connect with this.
