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?

ADORED! 😭

I sobbed so much on Anders chapter wow, I don't know if it had everything to do with the narrator or just altogether but my heart was heavy!

Thank you so much for this gem 📚🥰

Emotional roller coaster

Very well written, definitely worth the listen If you enjoy emotionally gripping relationships and heart breaking choices. A beautiful portrayal of family dynamics.

Sweet characters

Sweet story. Liked all of the characters. Surprised but then not really. Heartwarming and small town vibe.

A real love story

There are few stories that touch life and love the way this one did for me. it laid bare the reality of human emotion and life without the inane nonsense so many books include. Bravo!

All the feels

This book had me feeling so emotional at many different points. Emotional over family bonds, romantic loves, friendships, and the main characters relationship with herself. I didn’t see the twist coming, even though I tried to guess! Overall, I really enjoyed this book but it took me a minute to get into it and I didn’t think the twist was all that earth-shattering. Would still recommend as it was a good read!
