I have always enjoyed Paige Toon’s writing, and this is another great book from her. 
A change from the usual boy meets girl, they get together, something goes wrong / a misunderstanding happens & theY split, they reconnect and fall deeply in love, this story follows Hannah and Sunny, two people who have been incapable of entering any meaningful relationship due to unaddressed sadness & trauma in their early lives. 
The minute they meet in Hannah’s work there is chemistry, they are drawn to each other and the air fizzles with attraction. However, both have to work through their difficulties before considering any ‘relationship’.  Shared friends mean they meet up with each other regularly and friendship blossoms, both maintain that they can’t be in a relationship together while working through their issues but they come to find that sharing an emotional burden makes it easier to bear. 
A lovely story about friendship, relationships, how our pasts can shape us as adults and how love will win through. Well written and enjoyably narrated.

Such a heart warming romance. I liked the characters immediately and was drawn into the story from the get go. Hannah and Sonny are attracted to each other from their first meet, however, as you go deeper into the story you learn that these two will need to allow each other in if sparks are going to fly. We all have pasts that we may not wish to share and theirs are far from predictable. Once the barriers go down you pray they will open their hearts to each other. Beautifully written and thought provoking. A real pleasure to enjoy listening to the audio version on my countryside walks. My only small negative would be the male voice narrations but I appreciate they’re not easy.  Also enjoyed the setting in Cambridge as have enjoyed a visit punting there myself!
