Five Years From Now – Paige Toon
The bit on the back:
The heartbreaking new novel from bestselling author Paige Toon, perfect for fans of One Day and The Versions of Us
‘One day, maybe five years from now, you’ll look back and understand why this happened…’
Vian and Nell are thrown together at the age of five when Vian's mother and Nell's father fall in love. At first archenemies, the two children soon become the best of friends. But five years later, tragedy rips them apart, and 10-year-old Vian is sent to Australia to live with his real father.
Fast-forward five more years and Nell is still angry at her dad for not trying harder to keep Vian with them. When her father finances a Christmas trip for Evan to visit, Nell soon discovers that the boy she once knew is now a wholly different creature. Vian is now ‘Van’ – a wild and carefree teenager who surfs with dolphins and dives with sharks. Chemistry crackles between them, but once again, they’re separated.
For the next two decades, Nell and Van cross paths every five years, but fate and circumstance continuously intervene to keep them apart. Will they ever find true happiness? And will it be together?
My opinion:
It’s a bittersweet story, which shows that love doesn’t always end with a happy end. Beautiful, emotional and touching!!!
Paige Toon has an amazing writing style. It’s natural, elegant, fresh, unique, vivid and really authentic.
This book has everything: romance, passion, grief, friendship, family relationships, love and so much more. I laughed, cried and just got so absorbed by this story.
