4.18.2026 - Don't Fall in Love With Me

Don't Fall in Love With Me by Paige Toon 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Putnam Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest romance novel by Paige Toon.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!

Grace has loved Jackson since she was fifteen – when they spent every childhood summer exploring France's breathtaking Ardèche region together. They were best friends, until life took its course and Jackson married someone else.  Years later, Jackson approaches Grace with her dream job in the very place where their story began.  And he's single.  But Grace also encounters another old friend, Étienne, who proposes a plan to help make Jackson jealous. But as their scheme unfolds, Grace finds herself questioning if the sparks between them might not be so pretend after all

I loved taking a book vacation to the French Alps - the scenery, the food, the wine became characters in the story.  The author perfectly described all the feelings between these three characters and they all felt fleshed out.  It's a bit of a slow burn, but I enjoyed the journey and the twist at the end.
