Five Years From Now - Paige Toon



Nell and Van meet as children when their parents fall in love, but soon they are forced worlds apart.

Five years later, they find each other.  Their bond is rekindled and new feelings take hold, but once again they must separate.
 
For the next two decades, fate brings Nell and Van together every five years, as life and circumstance continue to divide them. Will they ever find true happiness? And will it be together?
 
‘One day, maybe five years from now, you’ll look back and understand why this happened…’

My review
Paige Toon does it again!
What a fantastic book, if I was a crier at books this one would be one that would of gotten me going, such a great, tender story of how life is.
I could not put this book down, I hate stopping in the middle of chapters which meant for me just sitting and reading, taking little breaks for house work, adulting is a lot less fun than reading.
The characters were great and you really felt like you got to know them and that you were an integral part of their life all the way through. I liked how the book started and also how it was in 5 year age gaps, but it didn’t miss out what had happened in those gaps which I thought was very clever on Paige’s thinking.
I do love Paige’s books anyway, but I have to say that this one seemed a bit more in depth than some of the others, a real tug on the heart strings. It made me happy and sad, and just eager to know more, I just wanted to keep going and find out what happened. I read this book in a day, which is something I never do unless I am on holiday so it must have been a really cracking book for me to do this.
Perfect if you want to dive in and escape to Nell and Van’s world and not leave until you know everything.
5 big fat stars! I LOVED IT

As he twisted harder, I turned my body in the direction of his grip to try and relieve the pain. His other hand appeared from behind him and the heel of his palm hit the side of my head. As it made contact with my ear, a siren rang in my brain, blocking all other sound. I kicked out, my foot slamming into his shins. His forward momentum increased as he was caught off balance, and his upper body folded. His shoulder glanced off the picture frame on the wall and it fell to the floor with a clatter. The rebound flung him away from me. As he let go of my arm, we fell apart like a tree struck down the middle by lightning. I staggered backwards, calves ramming against the coffee table, pushing it towards the sofa. Terror now ruling my fear, I grabbed the ceramic vase toppling from the table. I swung it ineffectually at his head. I was briefly su
