📖 Book Review 📖 There is something magically unique about the experiences and the people you meet traveling no, a bond that forms that connects you in an instant and lasts a lifetime. Three days in Lisbon was all it took for Ellie and Ash to fall for each other; but was it meant to last or just meant to be a fleeting spark? When their plans to meet up fall through, they must go on with their lives apart and time moves on with that idea of, “what if?” lurking in the shadows.

Sometimes you have your plans and then life has its own plans that throws a wrench into everything and we live with a plethora of “what if” scenarios. Paige Toon beautifully examines what happens when the one that got away, the quintessential “what if” scenario that has haunted your thoughts for six years, shows up back in your life and stares you in the face. What If I Never Get Over You is another emotionally gripping read by an instant favorite author; Paige Toon has an inexplicable way of writing her characters into the reader’s hearts, creating an enchantingly cathartic novel that will sweep you away.

This book was a wonderful escape to Wales (and Lisbon!). It reminds me of An Affair to Remember + Downton Abbey + The Notebook. It has all the feels. I would recommend this book to any romance reader who enjoys a travel escape and a bit of drama and tension. It's closed door, so I think it's appropriate for YA and adults alike.

What If I Never Get Over You by Paige Toon beautifully captures the intensity of first love and the heartache of missed chances. The novel follows Ellie, who falls in love with Ash during a whirlwind three day romance in Lisbon, only to lose him when fate intervenes. Six years later, she’s built a life in Wales, but Ash’s sudden reappearance shatters her calm, reigniting old feelings and unveiling painful truths. The longing, passion, and emotional turmoil in this story will break your heart as Ellie and Ash try to navigate past heartbreak and present life. It’s a poignant tale of love and the enduring power of a magical connection.
