reminds me why i’m a romance lover
the epilogue by far was my fav bit. anders had his flaws but overall i loved this book
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.
Oh wow… what an emotional story !! I’m sorry if this review will be quite short, it’s currently 1:35 am and I have school tomorrow but I wanted to finish this book 😭. This review will have spoilers. Okay so firstly, I rlly liked the writing style, it was easy to read. The story begins with Wren and how her fiancée Scott falls in love with someone else. She decides to visit her father and stepfamily on their farm. Wren felt really out of place and let out which was so understandable. The family didn’t want to overstep Wrens Boundaries and kind of left space between them but Wren took it a completely wrong way which was also interesting to see. I honestly loved so much how her relationship with her step-/family improved. The way Bailey (her stepsister) and Wren really became sisters and not strangers was so cute, their friendship blossomed fr. I’m not gonna lie I thought first that Bailey would cheat on her husband with Jonas (Anders brother) but fortunately not !! And while we are talking about him I really liked Jonas too he was such a good character. It was also cute how Bailey and his friendship blossomed since the first day they met. Anders was also a good character who has gone through so much. The biggest twist was how his wife (Laurie) wasn’t REALLY dead. I forgot what it’s called what she had but basically her body’s still 'alive' but she’s basically gone; she doesn’t feel any pain, doesn’t feel love and just basically doesn’t feel anything and she was also in a wheelchair and was just resting in bed. At first I found it boring for some time cause nothing really happened and it was kinda too much of a ‘slow burn' for me but yeahhh. I personally think that Anders should have told Wren that she’s not technically dead but he still let her believe that like ykwim. It was a very slow burn I mean we got the first kiss on page 351!! 😭. The thing is, I still kinda understood both sides near the end. Wren was just completely hear broken and Anders didn’t want to betray anybody and was literally drowning in that feeling and state. At the end, Laurie ‘finally' died and that poor girl was finally put to rest. Anders and Wren finally got married which was super cute and it hinted at the end that Wren was pregnant 🫣. Basically, I found the book boring in some points but also very emotional and I generally liked it so yeahhh.
Die Geschichte von Wren, Anders, Bailey und Jonas ist einfach wundervoll. Ich habe das Buch stellenweise kaum zur Seite legen können und mir zum Schluss die Nacht um die Ohren geschlagen, um zu erfahren wie es ausgeht. Paige Toon versteht es ihre Charaktere zu färben und echt zu machen, ohne das sie sich in den verschiedenen Büchern ähneln. Ich habe mich in Wren und Anders Geschichte richtig reinversetzen können und hätte da gerne noch mehr zu gelesen. Da steckte so viel Potenzial drin, was aber nicht bedeutet, dass das Potenzial nicht ausgeschöpft wurde. Ich hatte stellenweise selber Kribbeln im Bauch und war ganz aufgeregt. Klare Leseempfehlung
Und wieder mal ein absolutes Highlight. Paige Toon fesselt einen einfach mit ihren Büchern 😍
Wie immer bei Paige Toon eine schöne Geschichte mit sympathischen Charakteren und einem tiefergehenden Background. Klare Leseempfehlung!
Thank you to NetGalley and G. P. Putnam Sons for the advanced copy for review. Wren finds out that her fiancée has fallen in love with someone else. Anders lost his wife and is struggling to move on. They're half a world apart, but meet when Wren spends time with her dad in the states. Y'all this is such a slow burn and I loved watching the cat and mouse of Wren and Anders. Not even cat and mouse so much as friends to angsty wanna be lovers who can't be and then there's a plot twist that I really wasn't super okay with. I still liked the story and how the author navigated the plot twist but it still felt icky to me. There was also something in the epilogue that I still can't get out of my head that is bugging the crap out of me. Regardless of the ick and the eye twitch thing in the epilogue I'm still giving 4 stars.
Ein wirklich herzzerreißendes Buch, was auch zum Nachdenken anregt. Man kann sich einfach super gut in die Protagonisten hineinversetzen und die Handlung ist realistisch, sinnvoll und nachvollziehbar geschrieben. Was mir besonders gefällt ist, dass der Prozess, bis Wren und Anders zu einandef finden nicht überstürzt und unrealistisch ist, wie es oft in anderen Romance Romanen der Fall ist. Ein Punkt, über den man sich bewusst sein sollte, ist jedoch, dass man sich anfangs etwas quälen muss, um weiterzulesen, da sich die Handlung etwas zieht und zu Beginn nicht viel passiert. Jedoch finde ich das auch wichtig, um erstmal die Hintergründe klarzustellen und sehe es somit nicht als Kritikpunkt gegenüber der Autorin. Außerdem passiert gegen Ende umso mehr, dass man gar nicht mehr aufhören möchte ;)
