I've wanted to read this book since it came out. This weekend I splurged and bought it...and read it. It was wonderful, fabulous, amazing. I loved the story, the characters, the writing. I am so glad I bought it and look forward to reading it again and again.

I might feel differently if I were to listen to the book instead of read it.
There was so much drama in this book. It was a bit of a train wreck that I couldn’t look away, though. It did frustrate me. The classic “why don’t the just communicate and clear things up?” was in full force with this book.
I love Melanie Jacobson books. This one was just harder for me.

I liked the idea but it was a little too much drama for my tastes.

I went into this read knowing that I probably wouldn't love it. I'm just not a huge fan of unrequited love love stories. I always want the person with the unrequited love to move on and they rarely do. But this is Melanie Jacobson and I'm running out of her books to read and so... I read it. But I didn't love it.
I can't fathom having a crush on a guy for YEARS and torturing myself the way the main character did in this book. Besides that, Will didn't seem like that great of a catch. The climax of the story wasn't the most logical to me.
Despite my issues, I still had a great time reading Always Will. I love Melanie Jacobson's witty banter and I devoured this book in a day.
3 Stars.

I didn't buy that Will had a crush on Hannah. Ever. Hannah was very dramatic and stupid at the end. Will wanted a relationship with her and she was very confusing. Her thinking didn't make sense to me.Despite my issues, I still had a great time reading Always Will. I love Melanie Jacobson's witty banter and I devoured this book in a day.
3 Stars.

I can always count on Melanie Jacobson's novels to make me smile and swoon in equal measure. This one is no exception. It's a clean, upbeat story that's a whole lot of fun.

A cute falling in love story but it failed the Bechdel test spectacularly. Substance? No. A sweet girl gets the guy she always wanted story? Yes. With only miscommunications fueling the plot? Yes. Which isn't my favorite plot, but I do love a sweet romance.

A short easy read. At first, I didn't think I would get into it. I have Melanie Jacobson's 'The List' and loved it so I was excited more books by her. A quarter way through and I almost stopped reading because it was pretty ridiculous but I stuck it out and it was cute. Didn't fully love it but I still am willing to read more of her books.

I really enjoyed this book, I actually had a hard time putting it down. Yet another great one from Melanie Jacobson. Still under the spell of Always Will, I'm a little short of words. All I can say is that I loved it and that I am recommending it to everyone I know.
