Publisher's Summary
“Nobody writes angst and joy and hope like Paige Toon.”—CHRISTINA LAUREN, author of LOVE AND OTHER WORDS
For fans of Colleen Hoover, an unforgettable and heartbreaking love story with an earth-shattering secret at its core that asks the question: Is love worth risking everything for?
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. There, amid the cornfields and fireflies, she and Anders cross paths and their worlds are turned upside-down again.
But Wren doesn't know that Anders is harboring a secret, and if he acts on any feelings he has for Wren it will have serious fall-out for everyone. Walking away would hurt Wren more than she can imagine. But, knowing the truth, how can she possibly stay?

Only love can hurt like this
This was my first Paige Toon book and I must say this will not be my last! The writing is sentimental and engaging. The narration excellent.
The characters are layered, and generous.
The plot is a touching tale of family, friendship, self-discovery, happiness, heartbreak, growth, healing, selflessness, romance, and new beginnings. This is not just your typical romance story, she goes raw with a heartbreaking dark family twist that is deeply emotional. Just fell in love with the characters! Where can I get myself an Anders?!
I read/Audible this book in one sitting on a rainy Sunday...
my TBR list just got some Paige Toon added to it!

Good listen and story
From the description of the book I did expect more “hurt” in the story, but I enjoyed it and would recommend if you are looking for a love story that starts slow and builds and has a pleasant ending.
