Forever, Interrupted by Taylor Jenkins Reid
3.0
I have to say.. as much as I adore Taylor Jenkins Reid this book left me wanting MORE.
The big thing I didn't like about this book was that
I was extremely thrown off by this and found it hard to relate to Elsie as a consequence. I also didn't really like Elsie's character for the most part. I usually love Taylor Jenkins Reid's characters so this was another surprise for me.
Overall, this was still a beautiful story about love and loss and I'm forever impressed by the way that this author writes about humanity and about our emotions in such a raw way, even the not so good parts of us. This just wasn't one of my favourites!

Ben dies within the first chapter. This is something that I had never seen done before and I just couldn't connect with the character or get invested because his death happened too suddenly for me to really care about the character.I was extremely thrown off by this and found it hard to relate to Elsie as a consequence.
