Paige Toon’s Don’t Fall in Love With Me is a heartwarming, contemporary romance that follows Grace, a woman at a crossroads in her life as she embarks on a journey that’s both emotional and transformative. Early in the story, Grace meets Etienne, and from the outset, I found myself themselves rooting for him to be the one she ended up with.
Grace is instantly likeable. She’s genuine, kind, and her vulnerabilities make her easy to relate to. Shes someone you want to see succeed and be happy, and it’s this emotional connection that made the book such an easy and enjoyable read. Grace’s inner thoughts and reactions felt authentic, and her willingness to take risks are a lead we probably should all follow a little more.
Etienne’s charming, supportive, and brings out the best in Grace. The chemistry between them is palpable, and Toon does a wonderful job of making you hope that Etienne will be the one to help Grace find the happiness she deserves. I really enjoyed the humor in their interactions, it made it feel so much more real.
One of the book’s strongest messages is that sometimes, doing something a little out of the box can be the best thing you ever did. Grace’s decision to take a chance whether in love, career, or personal growth showed that embracing uncertainty can lead to unexpected joy and fulfilment. The story encourages us to be brave and open to new experiences, even when they’re daunting.
Paige Toon’s writing style is accessible and engaging, with a natural flow that makes it easy to get lost in the story. The pacing is just right, and the dialogue feels real. Grace’s journey is filled with relatable moments, gentle humour, and emotional depth, making it a book you’ll want to read in one sitting.
Don’t Fall in Love With Me is a delightful, uplifting read. Grace’s likeability and the hope you feel for her happiness make the story memorable and one you’ll be reccomending. Etienne is the perfect romantic interest and the book’s message about stepping outside your comfort zone is inspiring. If you’re looking for a feel-good romance with heart and authenticity, this is a wonderful choice.
