What Paige’s readers from around the world have to say about her books:

‘Whenever I feel like true love just doesn’t exist or that my life isn’t going anywhere, all I have to do is pick up one of Paige’s books and suddenly I
know everything is going to be okay’
Meghan Ross

‘She makes me feel like I’m actually in the story. I feel the characters’ emotions and I can’t think about anything else until the story is long
finished. And then I can’t read another book for ages as nothing else compares’
Angela Taylor

‘So relatable, so beautiful, everything I dream about. I don’t think I’ve ever recommended an author to so many people before, and they all say the same thing
– she’s absolutely brilliant!’
Molly Lucitt-Rees

‘Her stories have seen me through pregnancies and children, late nights and early mornings, and lots of bonding with girlfriends. They’re guaranteed to make you
smile’
Jo Leaper

‘I have read and loved every book and have never guessed the ending. The stories are all equally captivating without ever being repetitive’
Johanna
Lederer

‘She makes you think that you know what’s going on, and then there’s always another surprise that you never saw coming. Whenever a new book comes out, I rush
out to get it’
Line Bakmand

‘They’re stories about normal people getting themselves into abnormal situations. It’s very easy to relate to the characters – if they’re happy,
I’m happy. If they’re confused and torn between two men, I feel confused and torn between two men’
Lesley-Ann Begg

‘Her stories are warm and feel so real that I think about the characters long after they have ended, wondering where they are now and what they are doing’
Gillian Howden

‘I have read a lot of chick-lit, but no one else comes close. It doesn’t matter how often I re-read her stories, they still make me feel jittery’
Anna
Pyzalski

‘Reading a Paige Toon book is like a ray of sunshine and a spark of hope on a dank and dreary day! I love how every book has elements we can all identify with, regardless
of age or gender’
Mary Lount

‘Her descriptions make me want to see the world. And, I’m sure everyone says the same, I can’t put her books down once I’ve started them’
Lauren Cowie

‘Each and every one of her books has the ability to capture your heart, break it, and piece it back together again. I’ve read
Lucy in the Sky
so many times
the pages are falling out’
Heather Bosevski

‘The stories are always compelling and unpredictable – you’re kept on your toes as you read.
Johnny Be Good
is my favourite. What a guy!’
Clare Goldney-Gallagher

‘I borrowed
Chasing Daisy
from the library with barely any expectations, but I was completely hooked and couldn’t stop reading until it was finished at
6.30am. All of her books are absolutely amazing. She’s my favourite author’
Elin Borgström

‘
Pictures of Lily
in particular tugs at my heartstrings in a way no other book ever has. I feel like the life I should be living is written somewhere within the
pages of a Paige Toon novel!’
Isabel Bianchini

‘When I read
One Perfect Summer
, I fell so in love with the characters. I was absolutely giddy to discover there was a follow up:
One Perfect Christmas
.
It made me fall even deeper in love with her writing’
Tracy Scharf

‘Her books make me laugh, cry and give me butterflies. I’ve read
The Longest Holiday
five times and I still get goose bumps’
Rochelle O’Dwyer

‘I read
Thirteen Weddings
and, oh my, I was not a big fan of reading but I am now! I have worked my way through all of her books and I have another three friends
hooked, too’
Sarah Pearce

‘Heart-warmingly romantic and refreshingly realistic, with ballsy female characters. The most enjoyable books I’ve ever read, and so easy to get lost in!’
Victoria Mercer

‘She writes love stories that every girl wishes would happen to them. The guys are sooo cute, sexy and funny that I end up getting crushes on them, which sucks because
they aren’t real!’
Melany Bazdikian

‘Paige Toon books are like the circle of life in our house. I read them, then my sister does, followed by my mum. We love arguing over characters and who would play who if
they were films!’
Eloise Jones

‘I love how she links her books so that we catch a glimpse of past characters as if we are passing them on the street – like a friend you lost touch with, but are
happy they are still happy’
Suzie Longstaffe

‘Reading her books is like being on a rollercoaster: lots of highspeed drama with twists and turns around every corner. They leave me wanting more every time’
Claire Anderson

‘I’m a not-so-secret Paige Toonaholic. I often go back and reread my favorite scenes again and again, just to get my fix. The book hangover afterwards is delicious.
No. I do not feel guilty’
Pernille Meldgaard Pedersen

‘I have read every book and each one makes me feel the same: overcome with emotion – whether happy or sad – and so gutted when they end’
Sophie
Scott

‘I feel like I’m inside the characters’ heads, feeling what they feel, laughing when they laugh and crying when they cry. Her writing is truly
inspirational’
Susann Heinrich

‘I find it hard to finish a book, but Paige’s books are the exception! They make me enjoy reading. It’s impossible to put her books down until they’re
finished and then I want more’
Lucy Rogers

‘Each story is realistic, emotional, heartwarming and so easy to relate to. You get lost in the wonderful world that Paige creates. They are the perfect modern day, 21st
century fairytale’
Donna Scammell

‘No summer holiday is the same without my Paige Toon fix! My teenage daughter is now a fan. The books appeal to all ages!’
Sally Ball

‘These books bring to mind heart-melting feelings of first love and absent-minded evenings next to my husband while I enter the Toonzone!’
Janin
Katterle-Richter

‘The characters seem very real, like you could actually bump into them one day. Each story is unique and surprising – a rarity in chick-lit, which can be so
formulaic’
Kate Berney

‘When the whole world seems to be obsessed with sex and no story, I’m exceptionally happy with these amazingly written books. Love, laughter, tears, angst, and what
I love the most – a perfectly happy ending’
Laura Dobb

‘I love the description of the different cities and places. I live in Mexico, but when I am reading these books I feel like I am on another continent!’
Ale
Sada

‘I am addicted to Paige’s books. I’ve got so many people reading them and they get as hooked as I do. If only she could write quicker!’
Kelly
Meylan

‘Her books are A-MAZ-ING!!! They make me feel that anything is possible. I always feel positive and uplifted when I’m reading one of her books’
Victoria
Price

‘I devour each book in one sitting and I’ll always be hungry for the next! I think the day Paige stops writing, I might stop reading’
Criscilla
Kay

A letter to my readers

Hello!

I know this is a little unconventional, but before you get stuck in to reading
The Sun in Her Eyes
, I wanted to say a few words.

First of all, thank you for buying this book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you’re on Twitter or Facebook, I would love to hear from you so please visit me
@PaigeToonAuthor or Facebook.com/PaigeToonAuthor to say hi. I try to reply to everyone – your messages really do mean the world to me.

Thousands of you already know that last year I launched a unique book club called ‘The Hidden Paige’. I wanted to be able to give something back to my lovely readers in return for
all of their support over the years. So, every so often, I email my members directly with free short stories and news about competitions and upcoming book signings.

At the end of this book, you can check out the exclusive short story I wrote for ‘The Hidden Paige’ last autumn, but please sign up at paigetoon.com if you don’t want to miss
out in the future.

Lots of love, and I hope to hear from you soon!
