This story lived up to everything I thought it would be.
If you've read any of Ella's stories, you know what you are in for. Her twists are mind-blowing and she brings all the angst. There is an unexpected suspense throughout the story that had me on edge.
Daphne and Lars start out as carefree teenagers about to embark on the most exciting part of their life as they are ready to graduate from high school. The family dynamics were so interesting and big part of the story line. If you've read Kiss and Break Up (which I highly recommend) then you know some aspects of this story, but I have to say that it ended up being much different than I thought it would be (in the best way). And as I think back on what I just read, I find new things to think about. I think that's the best sign of a good story.

Don’t know if this counts as a spoiler, but I’ll put it as one anyway
I loved this book up until Lily was born. Don’t get me wrong she’s cute as shit but I felt like the romance just felt flat after that. Daphne got Ellis over for what??? So that Lars can go to his baby mama. And then when he doesn’t she’s like “okay I made a mistake let’s go get him back” and don’t even get me started on how he clearly said in words to her that he did not want her to come round yet she had the audacity to go round his house, not only that but care for his child without his permission? If anyone did that in real life it would so not be okay.
But yeah, loved it up until that point. Just got boring after.

5+ Forever and Ever CROWNS
I’ve hit a great reading streak recently. Book after book of well-written, entertaining romances, but this one, Forever and Never knocked me over. This book had me living every heartbreak, every dumb decision, every moment of triumph with Lars and Daphne. And you know what I felt at the end? Bereft. I felt a hole in my heart because I didn’t want to let them go. I still don’t. Ella Fields has effectively ruined my reading mojo for a bit with this epic book hangover.
One of the reasons I fell so hard for this story is because I am infatuated with all things Daphne and Lars. Not because they are idyllic or a perfect heroine and hero, but because they are real. These characters, like most of Ella’s, are flawed and they do awful things when they are hurt or damaged by someone they love. Ultimately, though, that is why I love Ella’s books. She doesn’t write about the fantasy. She writes about reality, and in real life, people do the wrong thing sometimes, even with the right intentions. But even when Lars and Daphne are at odds with each other and doing deplorable things, the love emanates from their eyes, from the motivation behind their actions. And even though, they have their rough moments, I love who they were at their core - Lars with his artistic and intense devotion, and Daphne with her guarded heart. I’ll never forget these two or their journey.
What makes Ella a one-click author for me is her writing. Yes, I love her authentically flawed characters, and her ability of capture my attention with her often unconventional romances, but her ability to make me live in the story and experience the highs and the lows with them is what keeps me coming back. I’m always emotionally spent when I’m done an Ella Fields book, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Books are about living within the pages, and I love all the heartbreaking, breathtaking, and soul-altering moments of each and every book. FOREVER AND NEVER, did all of this. ALL OF IT.
On top of all of these reasons, the themes and ideas of forgiveness and love, although changing and altering, remains, and this poignant message resonated. The love she writes about, while at times ugly, is the real stuff. It survives the hardships, the disappointment and betrayals. Love endures, and there isn’t anything more romantic than that notion.
Ella Fields has destroyed my heart, and it’s been Pieced back together a bit wonky. I feel a bit bruised, but, to me, that is the sign of a good book, one that burrows into your mind and heart, and alters you. And for that, FOREVER AND NEVER, will without a doubt be a top read of 2019!

My chest hurt
This story was breathtakingly, heartbreakingly, beautiful. Ella’s writing pulls you in and refuses to let you go. I read until I literally couldn’t keep my eyes open, I just couldn’t put the book down.
You can go ahead and add Lars to your list of book boyfriends.

Drama and angst. Drama and angst. Omg can’t wait for the next one!
Twists I didn't see. Heartbreak I cried about and redemption that makes you fall in love all over again.
