Someone I Used To Know

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The heart-melting new romance by one of the world's bestselling authors.

So much can change in half a lifetime...

Then

At fifteen, George is the foster brother Leah never asked for. As the angry, troubled boy struggles to come to terms with his circumstances, Leah finds herself getting drawn closer to him.

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

Now

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

Paige Toon is best known as the international queen of the tantalisingly delayed romance, the kind of true love story where the chemistry is off the scale but the path is strewn with obstacles. Adelaide Advertiser
