The One We Fell in Love With

by Paige Toon

[Emma (SCR)]

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I remember when I first read a Paige Toon book. I was on holiday  in Corfu and my friend lent me her copy of Lucy in the Sky. It turned out that this was actually Paige's debut book. I adore Paige's writing but I struggled with her last book, The Sun in Her Eyes, so I was a little worried about starting this one.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC copy of this book at the 2016 Spring Blogger Evening, unfortunately I have only just managed to read it. When I was at this event Paige warned that there was a big twist/shock in this book. Even still when it came I didn't see it coming.

The story follows identical triplets Phoebe, Rose and Elizabeth. I love books with multiple POV so I really enjoyed seeing this story through three different sets of eyes. All three girls have been in love with Angus since he moved in next door to them when they were 15.

This review is very tough to write without giving away the story. I loved each of the girls for different reasons but, I also wanted to give them a kick at times. I have to say that Angus wasn't my favourite main male character. I didn't really see what the girls saw in him to be honest. I loved Toby, there was something about him that was so endearing. This story will pull you in, give you all the feels, break your heart and stitch it back together again.

The writing in this book is some of Paige's best and it definitely made me fall back in love with her. It was an absolute pleasure to be back in the world that she has created again. It made me want to re-read some of her earlier works like Lucy  in the Sky, Chasing Daisy and Johnny Be Good.
