I loved what I read and can't wait to read the entire book. The only issue in this excerpt is that I want the rest of the book

Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read the first 3 chapters of this book as a sampler.

Hannah meets Sonny when he goes to the opticians where she works for an eye test. When he returns 2 weeks later to collect his new glasses he is far from the bubbly, talkative person she met.

Can’t wait for the book be released so I can find out what happens.

The Minute I Saw you is my second book by Paige Toon.
The authors writing style has not changed which is rather disappointing to me since I didn't enjoy this book.
I was put off by the language used even though women do talk like that.
This is an honest opinion.

Thank you for the sampler.

I love Paige Toon. Her writing pulls you in and wraps you up immediately, it is like popping your favourite sweater on or catching up with an old friend. Comforting, cosy, and perfect!

I can't wait to see where the rest of this one goes, you can feel the chemistry fizzing between Hannah & Sonny already! What happened to Sonny, ''why didn't go back to Amsterdam? ....or if he did has he come back so soon? ...and why is he seeing a counsellor?''

Eugh... I want to know now! Please, don't make me wait until August.

Can’t wait for the release! Loved this teaser! Always look forward to a new book from Paige, I’m hoping this will be the perfect antidote to everything else going on right now.

A Paige Toon novel is like your favourite piece of clothing, you put it on and you know it's all going to be ok. You pick up a Paige Toon book and you know you are in for a lovely few hours reading. The Minute I Saw You does not disappoint in that respect.

A heartwrenching, at times heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting read that takes you through many emotions, at times you will laugh out loud and at other points, you will have tears streaming down your face.

Paige Toon is an author who excels on making you feel and care about the characters she creates, drawing you in fully to the story.

There is just something about a Paige Toon novel that warms the heart. I have read all of Paige's books and I can't get enough of them, they are just so good and keep getting better and better. Hannah is the main character in this story, any one with that name gets my seal of approval as it's my name too. I wanted to read on quickly but also want to read it slowly to saviour it. This is what happens with Paige's books. You just can't get enough of them. I look forward to devouring the rest of this story.

I am very excited to read more of this.

For a sampler I'm already booked, I want to know more just after 3 short chapters.

I want to know whether their relationship will blossom and what's the matter with Sonny. Why is he being so cold after being so friendly.

To be able to get what I think is the reason for the title in the first 3 chapters is very impressive.

So happy to receive the first couple of chapters of this book. I flew though the pages at rapid pace and was very disappointed to have to stop reading at the end of the sample. Most certainly the sign of good book and a real page turner. If you are a fan of Paige Toon's other novels as I am, then I'm sure you will love this book too!

Can't wait to get my hands of the rest of it!!

This was only the first three chapters but I'm hooked already. Paige Toon has such a special way when writing characters. I become invested in their stories so quickly. Cant wait for the ebook release in May

Paige Toon is one of those authors that within the first few pages I am hooked. Her work is phenomenal and this book is no different. Following the lives of Hannah, who works at an opticians and Sonny, our mysterious love interest who lives in Amsterdam. This book is a lovely read. Immediately we fall in love with Sonny and root for the two protagonists. Paige Toon’s writing is spectacular and once again I couldn’t put the book down. I can’t wait till next May when we get even more Paige Toon goodness. Would Highly recommend!

Enjoyed this introduction to the book. Just wish it was the whole book.. Look forward to reading it all when I purchase the book.

Thank you Netgalley.

This was just a short teaser of the new Paige Toon this book and I am very intrigued to hear what is wrong with Sonny. What a cliffhanger!

This was a brilliant start to the story. I loved Hannah's mix of normal and eclectic, with her optician job and her unusual upbringing and love of travel. Sonny was a really intriguing character, and I was sorely disappointed when I got to the end of the sampler and couldn't continue. The writing is superb as always, Toon is an author who's books I can get lost in immediately and this was no different.

I'm a great fan of Paige Toon and started this sampler immediately. Absolutely loved the start of this book and am now intrigued by Sonny and his situation - What has happened to him? There was obvious chemistry between Hannah and Sonny and I can't wait to find out what changed in the two weeks between their first and second meeting and how it will be resolved. Publication day seems too far away!!!

I've read around half of Paige Toon's books (I'm working my way through them in publication order) and I couldn't help but be pulled toward's her latest novel, The Minute I Saw You. Starting in an ordinary optician's office, it's easy to see from the outset that this romance is going to take the protagonist, Hannah, on a whirlwind adventure. I really hope she ends up going abroad (I'm sure she will!) as Paige Toon is a master of the holiday-romance vibes and worldwide settings. Hannah is house-sitting for her uncle, working at the optician's and living a bland life, until Sonny comes in for an appointment. The sampler leaves you with a million questions about Sonny, most importantly: what happened to change the course of his life? I'm definitely intrigued to read the rest soon!
