Summary

 Escape to the summer and feel the warmth of Sunday Times bestseller Paige Toon's storytelling.

A Dorset summer, a chance meeting, and Joe and Alice, both 18, fall into step as if they have known each other forever. But their idyll is shattered as quickly as it began. Joe leaves without warning; Alice heads off to Cambridge University and slowly picks up the pieces of her broken heart.

Years later, when she catches the attention of gorgeous, gifted, rich boy Lukas, Alice is carried along by his charm and swept up in his ambitious plans for a future together.

Until news of Joe reaches her once more, but he's out of reach in a way that Alice could never have imagined. Life has moved on, the divide between them is now so great. Surely it is far too late to relive those perfect summer days of long ago?

The One We Fell In Love With was selected for the Zoella Book Club and Paige Toon's novels have been published across the world.

A great read offering bit of escapism! I was just a bit dissapointed in the rushed ending..

I loved this book so much. I usually only listen to books when I’m in the gym but this one I had to listen to all the time. Loved all the characters, couldn’t decide how the book was going to end. Wish there would be a second book

Didn’t want it to end

I absolutely loved the pace of this book, the main characters Alice & Joe & Lukas & Jesse were interesting and I looked forward to listening to each and every page. I cried and I laughed which to me means a fabulous read. Recommended ♥️

This story, like a seesaw plays with the emotions-one minute living with the bliss of a relationship but then an even more intense one takes over. The author expresses it all so well as the story unfolds.

Total absorption!
