Only Love Can Hurt Like This

AN EARTH SHATTERING SECRET. A LIFE-CHANGING LOVE STORY.

“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?

OMG -- simply fabulous read. This was my 1st Paige Toon book and I'm totally in love. Frantically trying to find the rest of her books. Wonderful storyteller. Well developed characters, loving and real relationships between them all. I was left totally wanting more from this story. Please grab this book and start your own love affair with this author. I cannot wait to expand my library with all of her amazing stories.

Eh. Very slow until about page 300. It was a good ending but not a stand out book. 5/10
