#BookReview: Only Love Can Hurt Like This by @PaigeToonAuthor @PutnamBooks






Synopsis: In the spirit of Colleen Hoover and Jojo Moyes's Me Before You, an unforgettable and heartbreaking love story with an earth-shattering secret at its core that asks the question: is love worth risking everything for?

An earth-shattering secret. A life-changing love story.

When Wren realizes her fiancé is in love with someone else, she thinks her heart will never recover.

On the other side of the world, Anders lost his wife four years ago and is still struggling to move on.

Wren hopes that spending the summer with her dad and step-family on their farm in Indiana will help her to heal. There, amid the cornfields and fireflies, she and Anders cross paths and their worlds are turned upside-down again.

But Wren doesn't know that Anders is harboring a secret, and if he acts on any feelings he has for Wren it will have serious fall-out for everyone. Walking away would hurt Wren more than she can imagine. But, knowing the truth, how can she possibly stay?

My Review: Emotional and epic romance that I could not put down.  WOW!! This one made me cry like a baby and man was it so good.  This slow burn love story is one you won't soon forget as you close the last page.  It is one that will totally put you into a reading slump and make you want to read it all over again.  I can not wait to won a print copy of this title. 











Review

"Paige Toon writes such beautiful, emotional love stories. I adored Only Love Can Hurt Like This—it swept me away to the gorgeous Wetherill Farm and I fell in love with Wren and Anders." —Beth O’Leary, author of The Flatshare and The Road Trip 

"Only Love Can Hurt Like This is the story of small towns, big secrets, and even bigger love. Paige Toon’s writing is emotional and riveting. Even while her novel was breaking my heart into tiny pieces, I couldn’t put it down.” —Jill Santopolo, author of The Light We Lost

“Toon is such an intuitive writer that she knows that no matter how desperate we are for happiness, sometimes love just can’t conquer all—but that doesn’t mean we can’t keep trying. In this monumentally moving story (keep the tissues at hand) of two lovers kept apart by tragic secrets, Toon urges us to risk everything, to never play it safe when it comes to the heart, and to know that caring is always, always, worth the cost.” —Caroline Leavitt, author of 
Pictures of You and With or Without You

“This book is a delicious, slow burn love story that hit me in parts of my heart I didn’t even know I had. Full of original and complex characters, it left me with the wonderful feeling that love this real can make anything possible.”—Annabel Monaghan, author of 
Nora Goes Off Script

“Compulsively page-turning, wildly romantic and beautifully heartbreaking. I stayed up all night and inhaled it in one big gulp. A totally brilliant read—I could not love it more.”—Emily Stone, author of 
Always in December
