This book just keeps getting better every time I read it. This book is the most emotional for me. Jenna is still dealing with the affects of being abused by her ex. When he pops into the cafe life goes down hill fast.

At Liam's wedding Jenna had a one night. It was an explosive evening, literally. The condom broke leaving Jenna ready to pop in nine months.

JD is the ultimate player, yet he craves Jenna. When he discovers the baby his life changes. This is the story of Jimmy's maturity and survival. So many scary moments. So many moments where you just didn't know what would happen when you turned the page. But you will turn the page because there is no way you can avoid it. It is that addictive.

9/24/2021 I have become obsessed with audiobooks. This one was really good. The narrators were on the mark.

This one was faster then the others and very much insta love. The author barely wraps up the last plot point before it ends.

You have no idea how desperate I was to get hold of Finding My Forever, I had it pre-ordered from the moment you could pre-order, but for some reason my book didn't download, I ended up cancelling the pre-order and then one clicking to get the book at midnight. As soon as it was downloaded I did not hesitate in making a start on it, and I made sure to let Heidi know I had it.


Of course Heidi wanted updates of my progress, so I had to agree and I'm probably thinking she wishes she hadn't asked for them. To put it mildly I would have finished Finding My Forever at least an hour earlier than I did if I wasn't giving updates via twitter. My first update made me ridiculously excited and super happy that I had guessed it right months ago.


Every time I have read a book in this series I declare it my favourite one, but I really do think the Finding My Forever is the best one. While my reading was slowed down to give updates to Heidi as I read, I did not put the book down at all and I pulled an all nighter to finish this, which is of course the sensible thing to do :). Liam and Harrison, move over, Jimmy is here to stay and I intend to keep him. Usually when I'm reading this series I cry, but Finding My Forever has you laughing, crying, smiling, it leaves you so shocked that you can't speak, you can't believe this happened.

My heart broke for Jenna I felt so sorry for what she went through and then had to share with the others. I wanted to take her home and make her all better.


Seeing Jenna in a new light brings up how strong she is, how she has gone through so much yet still determined to keep going. This is even more evident in the next to last chapter shows how far she has come, but also scared the living day lights out of me.

Jimmy is totally different to how he is perceived in Forever My Girl and My Unexpected Forever, he has reasons for acting the way he does, but being with Jenna changes him, and I love getting to see this new Jimmy. Seeing this romantic side to him had my heart melting, and I think the fact that he is British makes him that much more swoon worthy. I laughed at a lot of the things he says, even though I am British myself, and I like how Heidi has purposefully added some British sayings and slang into Finding My Forever. I loved it when he finally gets the big picture and stands up to his actions.



Finding My Forever isn't all rainbows and sunshine, and some of Jimmy's chapters were really heartbreaking. A lot of stuff happens and Jenna and Jimmy have to go through so much in such a short space of time. You seriously need some comfort food, and tissues when reading this.


While Finding My Forever is Jenna and Jimmy's story, we do get to see Liam, Josie, Harrison and Katelyn. They all play important roles in Finding My Forever and I cried when it was Katelyn's turn. Knowing what Jenna is going through was hard for her, but seeing her open to to Jenna and just let her know that she was there for her made me smile and cry happy tears to see how strong their friendship is. Liam rocked, we all know how he doesn't like using his band name, but he does it for Jimmy, to make sure he is treated correctly and so that they can all be together. I would add a quote in here but I really don't want to spoil it. I have never seen Harrison like this before, and my heart broke for him. seeing him so broken and torn up when he is usually so strong.

Finding My Forever was one hell of a read and while I devoured every single page, I did not want it to end. The final chapter of Finding My Forever was perfect and I loved getting to see how far Jenna and Jimmy have come. I think I need to re-read this whole series again very soon.

For some reason I ghosted this season before ever finishing it.. and for some reason I feel like I sound kind of like a broken record. Why do I ghost all these random ass series? I will never know! I'm just a girl trying to redeem herself and read some fun books along the way.

Finding My Forever was a pretty cute book. Especially since I read book two back in August. So, yeah, yikes - but luckily for me there wasn't much I could possibly forget.. unless you count the drama? Which this book definitely delivered on a whole bunch.

I'm not going to lie I felt terrified and bad for Jenna. Her abusive ex was such a douche and honestly I would've loved to slap him silly. I knew she was keeping secrets from her friends but I honestly didn't know how JD was going to take it.

Luckily things ended up working out but some things kind of confused me in this one. It's like things didn't make sense at times so I just kind of rolled with the punches. If the next book is on KU, and I have a feeling it is.. I might dive into it.

This was the best book in this series. I won’t be continuing with the rest of the books though. Just not of interest for me
Pros:
- JD stepping up
- two idiots in love 
- a REAL conflict in the plot
- wholesome moments 
- things that could have become miscommunication but DIDNT (thank god)
- JD not being aggressive like the other two
Cons: 
- Liam again being hostile (guys a dick for real)
- an element that could have turned out badly (but didn’t)
- some whiny moments (stand up for yourself my girl)

All in all I enjoyed these characters the best overall. I think if I read the rest I’d just be rage reading and I don’t want to know anymore about Liam

When an author gets success with a stiry they seem to get too attached to it and its "formula", we cannot blame them, we loved Luke in the first book and we begged for more but trying to make the whole band a big happy family...that's plain stupid....everything felt fake and rushed, the same yada-yada.....nah, I am done with this series.
