Publisher's summary

“This book wrecked me in the best possible way.”—CARLEY FORTUNE, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After

“Shatters your heart in pieces, then puts it together again and again.”—ABBY JIMENEZ, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Just for the Summer

SIX SUMMERS TO FALL IN LOVE. ONE SUMMER TO CHANGE IT ALL.

Liv and Finn meet six summers ago 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 autumn. 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 . . .

Critic reviews

Seven Summers warms your heart, shatters it in pieces, then puts it back together again and again.”—Abby Jimenez, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Just for the Summer

Seven Summers is the ultimate love story, the kind with that forever, unshakable kind of love. You’ve been warned.”—Annabel Monaghan, author of Same Time Next Summer

“A truly beautiful love story, heart-wrenching and heart-warming in equal measure.”—Beth O’Leary, author of The Road Trip

Oh, my heart!

I don’t think there’s any author whose stories tug at my heartstrings like Paige’s. The plot is somewhat similar to This Summer Will Be Different, but with all due respect to the great Carley Fortune, Paige’s book was more interesting and much more emotional.

So good!

I really enjoyed this book. Lots of angst and love mixed with some grief, but overall it was just beautiful. The narrator was also wonderful. I would definitely recommend this story!

The romance hit I wanted

Unaware of anything Paige Toon, I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend. Within the first two chapters, I was sucked in like a sock in a vacuum. This love story is told in two timelines (one of my favorite styles) where the story is slowly revealed through time passing, and clues from present day. Finn and Liv meet as young adults, carefree, with the beach as their backdrop (cue a little Point Break). Finn lives in LA and Liv lives in Cornwall. It’s the book you want to read about young love over years, miles, and heartache.

Boring

I don’t know why I didn’t DNF this. Bored throughout the whole book. Probably returning to get my credit back.
