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

Let it Snow - Sue Moorcroft

Buy Here I have to be honest and say I am only 70% through this book, so I will review up to where I have read. When I started this book I was a bit unsure where it was going or what it was doing. However it was soon explained as the characters and the plot started to thicken.  I am really enjoying getting to know the characters and going through their life with them. Highs and low. Of course as always some are more liked than others, but I'll let you make your own judgement on that!  Sue really does describe the atmosphere and the locations so that you can see them and imagine you are there too. It's making me want to wrap up warm and go and play in the snow.  I am excited to read the rest of the book and hopefully my predictions are correct.... Or not!
