G.P. Putnam's Sons Seven Summers

Ich war überrascht darüber wie gut es mir gefallen hat. Es hatte viel mehr Tiefe als ich dachte und ich fand die Geschichte wundervoll.

THIS BOOK IS MAGIC

Perfect

I bought this book because it had so many good reviews, and the blurb made the story sound so intense and beautiful, but it really isn't. Liv is selfish, cowardly, and dull, without any real character development throughout the book. Finn deserved so much better, and so much more than what Liv offered from the beginning. Tom is a character that I did not understand, just a bit of gratuitous tragedy. Overall, very disappointed.

Seven Summers by Paige Toon 5 stars Spice: 🔥/5 My heart has not recovered. I finished this book Saturday night and I’m just now writing the review (Monday afternoon). The emotional up and down that Paige Toon can weave is unbelievable. I am all in for it though. The angstier, the better. I eat that with whipped cream on top of my sundae. Liv and Fin. AHHHHH. Liv and Fin. I absolutely loved how Paige Toon gave us past and present. I needed that past so I can feel the physical ache when Tom entered the picture. Paige Toon does not do rom-coms – straight angst and full on romantical prose. I fell in love when I read her previous books, and I keep falling more in love with them. I feel like, for me, that is saying a lot because her books leave the bedroom scenes more to the imagination. Usually, I like the gritty details but with Paige, her characters are so well fleshed out, full of depth, and she has worked so hard to create that connection that I almost don’t need it. I can just use the words she did provide to imagine what it would be like. I don’t say that about a lot of books. Usually, I see ‘closed door’ romance as an adjective, and I move on by. Paige Toon’s books are completely worth not getting the nitty gritty. She shook me with the turn of events at the end. I’m pretty sure I gasped out loud. It took me a solid minute to wrap my mind around what happened and how the book ended. I have never lived abroad, nor have I even visited. I love to read about the UK and imagine the scenery and their lives over there. I think Paige Toon does a fabulous job at immersing the reader into the setting of her books so well. Poor poor Tom. But Liv and Fin. AH. SPOILERRRRRRR: . . . . . . . I understand why Tom was introduced. She needed someone to choose her for once when every time it came to it, Fin (as much as I loved him), did not choose her. He put her in a constant state of feeling pulled and being asked to leave her home and brother. So, when Tom came around and was steadfast and chose her, I see why she fell in love. I see why the readers didn’t get what we wanted for most of the book. #avidreaderbookblog #readingislife #bookblogger #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookaddiction #romance #romanceaddict #romancebookstagram #romancebookstagrammer #romancebookblogger #paigetoon #paigetoonbooks #paigetoonauthor #angst #travel #lovetriangle #greatwriting
