Book Review: ‘Only Love Can Hurt Like This: A Novel’ By Paige Toon

Wren is living in England with her boyfriend Scott, who she’s set to marry, working as an architect. When she sees Scott with another woman, he confesses he has feelings for her, and breaks up with Wren. She takes two weeks vacation to visit her family, who live outside of Indianapolis. She drinks with her stepsister Bailey, and runs into Jonas, and his hot brother Anders. Soon they’re all spending time together, and Wren and Anders grow close, even though he’s still not over losing his wife over four years ago. When Wren learns the shocking secret Anders is keeping, it tears them apart, until Anders makes a decision, and now must try and win Wren back. This is one great rom-com, one of the best of the year so far. The characters are a lot of fun to follow along with, and the story is engaging to the readers. A perfect beach read.
