I have just finished this book and I absolutely loved it. The story just flowed so beautifully, I loved ellie and ash with all their flaws, at points in this book I wanted to scream at them and bang their heads together. Perfect 5 stars from me

I devoured this book! What if I Never Get Over You by Paige Toon feels more like a YA book than adult fiction, but it was a great read none-the-less. Ellie and Ash spend three unforgettable days together in Lisbon, before agreeing to meet a week later in Madrid. Six years later their paths unexpectedly cross again and the story continues in a will-they won't-they vein. I loved the thread of hope throughout and that most of the characters were genuinely lovely people. The perfect summer read! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I’m a big Paige Toon fan but I DNF’d this at 11%. I just couldn’t quite get into the story but I am sure I will come back to this in the future.

Amazing as usual ! Just a beautiful story ! Once I start a Paige book I can’t put it down this one was no exception !

I really enjoyed this one I liked the main characters and ye concept of the story. The communication issues did bother me though and I felt like things could have been resolved much sooner. Another great book by a fab author.

Whilst there was nothing majorly wrong with this book, it was very slow and i felt like ive read books like this 10 times over. The writing was good but it didn't capture my attention and i wasnt in love with it.

Beautiful story about Ellie and Ash who meet while inter railing. As always there is a mix up and so pauses a love story with an unexpected meet up. The settings and descriptions were vivid, the detail well done, and I rooted for them being together. There is a bit of suspend disbelief in this book, and I’d guess the die hard romance fans will question a bit, but I really enjoyed, and savoured it at a time I had difficulty reading. Thanks to netgalley for the advance review copy, all opinions are my own

Paige Toon delivers yet another delightful love story. Kept me hooked throughout, and was invested in both characters.

Oh I loved this. The colours and vibrancies from the rooftops in Spain to the bright flowers, the book leapt of the page in vividly. Sad but romantic, I was hoping so much the two main characters could work things out but circumstances seem determined to prevent a happy ever after. A great beach read.

Beautiful and heartbreaking! Wonderful characters, gorgeously written and a brilliant plot! Another great novel from Paige Toon
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for my arc

Ellie and Ash meet at a bar in Lisbon and there’s an instant spark
They promise to meet in Madrid a week later, but Ash doesn’t turn up
Split into 3 time periods - showing how Ellie & Ash met, separate and possibly reunite
It’s an emotional read, dealing with grief, second chance romance and being the right person but wrong time
I was just crossing my fingers that they find happiness together
Thanks @paigetoonauthor @penguinukbooks & @netgalley for the perfect summer read

I love Paige Toon. To me , she is a perfect holiday author - her books are light and summery and yes there is some drama, but you also get romance and friendship and sunshine, and this one is no different! I was drawn in from the start, and I read it in a day by the pool. Beautiful settings, a unique plot, and lovely characters - what more can you ask for!

it was brilliantly written didn't like the court of thorns but as would love them to be reading a fictional story I haven't read while they were interaling.

when Ellie meets Ash her life changes forever, and when they arrange to meet up she is sure that she is doing the right thing, but when she arrives late and Ash is no where to be seen she begins to think she had the wrong idea all along. Heart broken she sets out to achieve her dream job and years later it is this job that brings her back to Ash, but which version of Ash is she getting.

I really enjoyed this story, it hooked you right from the start and as is usual with stories by Paige Toon the characters were relateable and likable, this was a fantastic read and I would recommend it.

Perfect in every way.
This book is so well researched and put together it makes it a delight to read. It makes you feel you are living beside the characters. I can picture wales so clearly despite never having been.
I adored the characters, they made me smile, I cried and I cheered. This is a rocky path to will they won’t they with more than one hazard in the way. However you want the book to turn out when you get to the end I think you’ll be satisfied.
Another great read from Paige toon.

Ellie and Ash had an instant spark when they met in Europe. However, when trains and cancelled and a family emergency occurs they don’t manage to meet back up as planned and they don’t even know each others surname, nevermind phone numbers. As fate would have it, years later their paths cross again, but with years of life and relationships between them is it even meant to be?

If I have ever read a @paigetoonauthor book it was years ago but I thoroughly enjoyed this. It was well paced and just a lovely journey. Very British through and through too. Definitely going to finally pick up my other Paige Toon books on my TBR soon!

I absolutely loved reading about all the beautiful places Ellie and Ash visited! I loved seeing them both fall for each other in a beautiful destination!

The tension between Ellie and Ash in the later part of the book is intense! I do feel like they could have just communicated with each other better!

However, for me immaturity, lies and secrets aren’t foundations to build a healthy relationship! I also felt the mentions of the SJM books was super over kill. Yes I understood it initially at the start - but anything after that was unnecessary!

Personally for me the flow felt off in places and a little slow! However, some of the romantic elements were well executed and brought to life beautifully! I loved the star gazing moments!

I knew that once I started reading a Paige Toon’s novel I wouldn’t be able to put it down until the end and that’s what happened with her latest novel, What If I Never Got Over You. The beautiful and evocative descriptions of Portugal and Wales, the multi-layered, relatable, and likable characters, and Ellie and Ash’s beautiful and emotional love story kept me up until late at night.

Ellie and Ash first met in Lisbon, both in their early twenties, both interrailing, both grieving a loss, both with overbearing parents and a future planned. Their attraction is mutual and instant and they make plans to meet a week later. But destiny, or the universe, or something else has other plans for them and it’s six years before they meet again, carrying with them the responsibilities of the present and a past that haunts them.

I loved this story so much. When we first meet Ellie she is on the terrace of a hostel reading a book (and without spoiling it, a great choice of a book) with a future already planned by her parents to whom she can’t ever say no. The book is soon forgotten as Ash sits next to her. He is charming, easy-going, and he is following his dreams. When they meet six years later, everything has changed, for both of them, and there are many obstacles that they must face and solve. I fell completely in love with these characters and their stories are a roller coaster of emotions.

I am a huge fan of Paige Toon and What If I Never Got Over You is another wonderful and heart-warming novel that kept me hooked from the first to the last page!

I don't think there is a book Paige Toon writes that I won't give a 5 star review. I laughed I cried and I fell in love with the characters and the world

I think at this stage anything Paige Toon writes IM GONNA READ IT!

I really enjoyed everything about this book , I really enjoyed the characters and the authors writing style
