Someone I Used to Know

De: Paige Toon

Narrado por: Heather Long

In the spirit of Colleen Hoover, a heartbreaking, nostalgic story of three childhood friends, each caught in the crossfire of an all-consuming teenaged love triangle, and their homecoming years later as adults that will reveal everything.

Three best friends. One love triangle. The choice that will change their lives forever.

Then

At sixteen, George is the foster brother Leah never asked for. Beautiful and troubled, he struggles to come to terms with his circumstances even as Leah is drawn ever closer to him.

Theo’s wealthy family have mysteriously pulled him out of boarding school and he’s now enrolled with Leah and George. When their worlds collide that summer, George, Leah and Theo form a bond they believe will be unbreakable. But life doesn’t always go to plan...

Now

Shocking news brings Leah back home, baby daughter, Emilie, in tow. But Emilie’s father Theo isn’t with them, and George has unexpectedly returned. After half a lifetime, have Leah and George healed the scars of their pasts? Will coming home set their hearts in a new direction?

Perfect blend of sweet and emotional

This is officially the first Paige Toon I’ve read that didn’t make me cry! And it was still great. Narration was excellent - I could listen to her forever. I didn’t feel the signature angst that I’m used to with her books and that’s why the 4 star rating. If you’re looking for a Paige Toon book to start with, this is the one!

This one goes into a lot of familial trauma and issues within the foster care system - so definitely know that going in. It hits a lot of hard topics in a very endearing way.

Highly recommend!

A Heartwarming family story

Love across so many lines (birth children, foster children, adoption and farm animals). Wonderful ups and sad “downs” but a strong family will thrive!

Hidden Talent!

Loved this book! In depth characters, slow burn, reality with a good dose of hope. On to her next!

Loved the characters

I loved the characters in this book. They were really well developed, flawed, and relatable. There is a slow burn romance and a plot twist I didn’t see coming.

Couldn’t quit listening.

This book gave me all the feels. Once I started listening I couldn’t stop till it was over.
