Synopsis

In the spirit of Colleen Hoover, a heartbreaking story of one impossible summer romance that poses the question: how do you move forward if part of you can’t stop looking back?

Their attraction was instant. Can their love be forever?

When Hannah and Sonny meet they’re immediately drawn to one another. His confidence pulls her to him just as he can’t resist her warmth and starburst eyes. But their chance encounter is all too short and when next they meet Sonny seems like a different man. Something has shaken him and what he needs is a friend.

Hannah and Sonny form a bond that surpasses the understanding of their friends and families. They’ve promised each other to keep things platonic, even when their undeniable attraction makes that feel impossible. But what if they are meant to be together? Each has a secret that’s holding them back. Can they tear down the walls between them? And if they do, will they still love what’s on the other side?

I dunno. I liked it and finished it within a day, at the same time it was a bit too much tragedy for me. One step further and this could have been written by Colleen Hoover. Not sure whether I'll stick to that 4 star rating.......more

THIS.BOOK.WAS.AMAZING!!! It has been a while since I read a romance book that I felt was impossible to put down and totally transport me, but The Minute I Saw You was everything I look for in a five star read!

Goodreads review by Theresa on May 25, 2020

I’ve long maintained that there is a big difference between a romance and a love story. This is a love story. The blurb may read like a romance, but in my opinion, it ticks all the boxes for angst ridden, heart-breaking, all consuming love story. ‘You know I don’t do relationships,’ I say awkwardly,......more
