“Some people believe that it’s possible to fall in love simply by gazing into another persons eyes but Hannah, who spends her working life staring into the eyes of strangers, has never felt anything out of the ordinary for any of her clients. Then she meets Sonny and a spark ignites” - Paige Toon ✨
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars
I adored my first Toon read a few months ago (Someone I used to know) and so JUMPED at the chance to listen to this on Borrowbox. It did not disappoint. Toon is quickly becoming one of my new favourite authors. 📖
This one was WAY more romance heavy, in fact 70% of the novel is slow burn WHICH IS RIGHT UP MY STREET. The tension was, a lot. Toon does such a great job fleshing out her characters, I felt I knew them so well - even the side characters. Which I think it’s rare in romance reads. 👩❤️👨
Most of all, I adore that Toon weaves in such deep backstories! It’s these little (or pretty big) twists that make a warm fuzzy read into something gripping and memorable. I finished this book a few weeks ago and it’s still fresh in my mind. 💕
Her books won’t be for everyone as I feel like they’re a ‘relaxing’ read but do require checking the TWs before reading. Some topics can be pretty deep, which may not be what some readers expect from a cozy read. So, heads up. 🧠
Can’t wait for the next Paige Toon read, any recommendations? 🥰
