Review & Blog Tour ~ Seven Summers by Paige Toon

Two epic love stories. One impossible choice. The stunning new novel from Paige Toon.

Six summers ago

Liv and Finn meet working in a bar on the rugged Cornish coastline, their futures full of promise. When a night of passion ends in devastating tragedy they are bound together inextricably. But Finn's life is in LA with his band, and Liv's is in Cornwall with her family - so they make a promise. Finn will return every year, and if they are single they will spend the summer together.

This summer

Liv crosses paths with Tom - a mysterious new arrival in her hometown. As the wildflowers and heather come into bloom, they find themselves falling for one another. For the first time Liv can imagine a world where her heart isn't broken every year.

Now Liv must make an impossible choice. And when she discovers the shocking reason that Tom has left home, she'll need to trust her heart even more . . .

I loved this book, I couldn't put it down. I was very quickly engrossed in Liv's story of her seven summers. I liked the fact that we were reading between this summer and a summer previously. I think it really added to the story and almost made me feel very torn as at one point I was really wanting Liv and Finn to sort themselves out but at the same time I could see the bond between Liv and Tom growing in the present summer.

There were times when I was really championing Finn as they had been through so much and he had really supported Liv in difficult times. Tom however was a breath of fresh air to Liv however he did also have a rather large secret which meant Liv had a difficult decision to make.

By the point she had to make the decision this summer I really felt for Liv as you could tell that she was really struggling to make it at one point but I definitely think that she made the right one. I loved the fact that after her decision we got to see some summers ahead too and thought that part just finished the booked and ended it brilliantly.

The writing just flowed beautifully and I loved the descriptions of Aggie and the sculptures and artwork as they were detailed yet didn't detract from the story or drag on for paragraphs - they enhanced the story beautifully.

Huge Thanks to Random Things Tours & Paige Toon for my space on the blog tour.
