Five Years from Now

Five Years from Now by Paige Toon digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

BEST FRIENDS. FIRST KISS. FIRST LOVE. FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, WHAT WILL THEY BE?

“Paige Toon's romances are powerful and poignant and never fail to leave me clutching her book to my chest.” – MIA SHERIDAN, author of ARCHER’S VOICE

In the spirit of Mia Sheridan, a heartbreaking story of star-crossed, fated love, and two people who are brought together and torn apart every five years until they must make a choice that’s bigger than their lives alone.


Nell and Van meet as children when their parents fall in love. They become best friends and each other’s whole world. Then tragedy strikes and Van is sent to the other side of the globe.

Five years later, they find each other again. But they’re no longer children and the bond between them smolders into flames. New feelings surprise them both. They are destined, soulmates. Until an untimely discovery tears them apart again.

For the next two decades, fate brings Nell and Van together every five years, even as life and circumstance divide them. They will have to make a choice, but it’s bigger than their lives alone. Is it bigger than their love?

“Ugh! I like to give positive reviews of books, but I'm struggling with this one. I would like to read some of Paige Toon's books. I have the Kindle version of Seven Summers, which I was saving for the summer holidays. In the meantime, while I was looking for an audiobook, I saw this available. I thought I would listen to it whilst out on my daily walks. I felt the writing overly descriptive. There is one idea... "In five years time, you'll know why this happened" and so we get a glimpse of Nell's life every five years whilst she manages to sleep with every bloke in the book, including her step brother. Also, the number of times God's name is taken in vain is terrible. There are some nice ideas in the book. There's art, surfing, a book shop, a scenic setting (Cornwall). The narrators voice got on my nerves. Now I'm wondering if "Seven Summers" is going to have a similar theme 🙄 If so, I might just switch up my summer reading 🤔 I probably should have dnf'd this book, but my curiosity got the better of me. If there are any other books by Paige that anyone here reading would like to recommend, I am open-minded about trying again.”
