Summary

What happens if you meet the right person at the Wrong time? 

Nell and Van meet as children when their parents fall in love, but soon they are forced worlds apart. Five years later, they find each other. Their bond is rekindled and new feelings take hold, but once again they have to separate. For the next two decades, fate brings Nell and Van together every five years, as life and circumstance continue to divide them. Will they ever find true happiness? And will it be together? ‘One day, maybe five years from now, you’ll look back and understand why this happened....’

Paige Toon is my literary Shonda Rhimes

Oh good lord my heart.

The crying started around hour 5 and didn’t stop…
This book is told in 5 year chunks until the characters are near 40. For someone who exclusively reads HEA Romances, not just books with romantic themes, this book fit my criteria in a way that absolutely gutted me.

I’ve always thought most people have a “Big Fish” story about the one that got away…This book is all over that vibe x100

A Cornish delight!

What a lovely read… the narration was great, the storyline felt familiar but yet still left plenty of intrigue to be different - thank you for a lovely few days of escapism!

Porth???? Where???

Enjoyed this book but kept being jolted back to reality everytime the narrator attempted to say Porthleven ... it is leven like eleven not leaven !!! As it is quite central to the story I wish this had been spoken correctly!

Apart from this a very enjoyable story.

Wonderful pain

This book hurt my heart so much but it was so well done and well written I can’t even be remotely mad about it. Also the narrator was fantastic, she did such a good job and I loved every moment of listen to this book even if it ripped my heart up. However don’t read if you are looking for romantic fluff because this book isn’t that. Do read if you want something that feels very personal and moving with a very bittersweet ending.
