Are they both too broken to find love? And if they tear down the walls between them, will they still like what's on the other side?An interesting recurring motif which ran the length of the novel was eyes and the idea of looking at someone. As a recurring visual element, it reinforces one of the novel’s key ideas about seeing someone else for who they really are and being seen down to your very core. It’s also clever of Toon to have done this, because at the core of a lot of romance storylines is the ‘wall’ between the characters – something that prevents them from getting together. A lot of the time it’s because one or both of the parties have skeletons in their closet that makes them afraid of intimacy; of being truly seen. It did a very good job of exploring this idea, and had a very nice tie-in to a subplot which looked how homeless people are often overlooked – not properly seen. It was a lovely, thought provoking touch that didn’t obnoxiously make its point, but gave the novel a certain weight that was enjoyable. The Minute I Saw You is a very poignant love story. It was funny, romantic, frustrating but essentially very moving. Every aspect is written sensitively and ensured I loved both Hannah and Sonny equally. I don't want to talk about the story too much, it is so special that I want you to discover Hannah and Sonny's history for yourself. I will say my heart broke a little, the secrets and surprised were not what I expected. I think we all try to guess what may happen, or what the dramatic twist may be and I hadn't predicted this at all, well not completely. I really enjoyed seeing just how close Hannah and Sonny could become while still maintaining there was nothing between them! It is just a heart warming story that I found a joy to read.

Success!

The Minute I Saw You takes the reader directly into the lives of Hannah and Sonny. When these two lost souls meet, the connection is immediate and strong. What was meant to be a no strings attached style romance, turns into something much more poignant. Despite both parties resisting any form of a relationship due to a whole host of personal baggage, life works in mysterious ways and it transforms this potential couple’s outlook on love. When Sonny is faced with some devastating news, he makes some adjustments to his life. This change results in a different kind of connection between Sonny and Hannah. They discover the true value of friendship and support. Despite the obvious level of attraction that simmers between them, they learn to connect on a different level. Along the way, this couple confront their personal demons, difficult pasts and they learn to trust again. But are they ready to let love into their lives? The author seems to be renowned for her emotional, heartwarming and poignant romantic fiction and “The Minute I Saw You” is no exception. It was a pleasure to read a romance that was clean and didn’t involve adult scenes and I especially liked, that the story covered a budding relationship without the physical side. While there is undoubtedly some very sad moments within this story, a particular gravity to some scenes that leave quite the imprint on you, I found this overall to be an incredibly hopeful story. And as you all know, I am all there for anything with even just a hint of ‘uplit’ about it. I became quite invested in Hannah and Sonny, both as individuals and as a couple. They might have been a risk to each other, in terms of the trauma they each brought to the table, but their love story was beautiful and deeply meaningful. Hannah'nın ise yapışık bir ikizi varmış. Kalçadan yapışıklarmış iki ayrı insan ama bir kısımdan yapışıklar. Bir zaman sonra Anna, artık kendi başına hareket etmek istemiş, ayrılmak istemiş. Ameliyat başarısız olmuş ve Anna ölmüş. Hannah, bu acıyla yaşamaya devam etmiş.
