Thank you NetGalley, PENGUIN GROUP Putnam and Paige Toon for the ARC of Only Love Can Hurt Like This for an honest review.
This was the first Paige Toon book that I have read. This book was beautifully written. The scenery descriptions made me feel like I was right there with Wren, Bailey, Anders and Jonas. The farm sounds like a magical place and the addition of the airstream made it fun!
Wren, who is staying with her dad and stepmother is fresh out of a relationship that ended. She meets Anders and Jonas and the sparks fly on her end for one of the brothers. This is definitely a slow burn romance with more emphasis on the emotional side than romantic. There was enough back and forth that made you wonder what was really going to happen. Was Wren going to go back to the UK or stay in the US?
The twist towards the end of the book was so unexpected and heart breaking.

Finished in one flight! Enjoyable read, but it did feel a bit like it all finished nicely wrapped in a bow. While reading I did think of a sinister alternative ending, kind of wish the author had gone dark

I tried really hard but I’m 192 pages in and still don’t feel like a lot is happening here. The plot is going so slowly and the interactions between male and female lead are the ultimate definition of slow burn, like barely an ember. I also have no interest in Airstream maintenance or racing
I feel like family
This was such a lighthearted read…. Wren, Bailey, Anders and Jonas will have a place in my heart. It took me through their lives in such a beautiful way and I feel connected.
