Actual rating is 4.5
Can somebody please tell me where can the Cameron Gordons of the world be found? 'Cause seriously, if there is one book character who you could absolutely describe as the perfect boyfriend, it's definitely Cameron.
I love him and Lucy so much. Their story is the one that may actually describe and give life to the term highschool sweethearts. And yet, it's not the puppy love that such sweethearts wherein it eventually fades. Cam and Lucy's love? It's forever. It's the type of love where happily ever afters were based on.
Upon finishing the book, the thing that pops into my head is that "Is there truly a love such as theirs?" I really want to know. Cam is such a great type of guy that I can't find any wrong in him (except for the thing about the girls in his past). Lucy on the other hand, deals with so much pain in her life that she has every reason to feel insecure about her relationship with Cam. But Cam remains strong. Strong enough for both of them that despite her insecurities, he still loved her so much.
And I guess that's what made me dash of the .5 to the rating. Their story, despite the characters' flaws and the problems they dealt with, seem to go up on a straight line truly towards a HEA. Indeed that's great but there were really no downhills or turns. There was just that one truly little (but it is significant) part that had me feeling the tension that, for me, this book definitely needs. And yet, at the next page, they're back to the pace straight to their forever. I guess the book is wrapped up in all its perfection that made me lose sight of all the imperfections and faults in the characters' lives that had actually made their lives perfect in the first place.

I'm pretty sure Lucy is my favorite character out of this series. I laughed with her, I cried for her and with her, I fell in love with Cam with her, I laughed some more. Cam and Lucy's story was well written and I was caught up in their relationship immediately. I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning finishing this and I don't regret it!! Bravo, Jay McLean, Bravo!!

10+ STARS. CAM IS MY MCM EVERYDAY!! This is probably one of my favorite books ever. I loved how we, as readers, got to see every aspect of Cam and Lucy's relationship. From the very beginning to the end. MTF follows their entire relationship and their hardships. You see how they mature and interact. One of my favorite things about the book is how well Cam gets along with her brothers. He becomes their brother and another son the Lucy's dad. Btw the relationship between Cam and his 'dad' Mark is amazing. I laughed, cried and smiled throughout the entire book. READ IT NOW

ELEVENTY THREE FOREVER STARS!!!! :D
Sleep was hardly an option when I was given an ARC copy of this beautiful book. I will admit that it is very rare that I show my emotions when reading a book which is something I usually prefer to do in private. I literally LOL on some parts, tears on others, pissed off in some scenes, shocked at times, swooning over "Luca" moments...needless to say I was all over the place!
We gotten to know a little bit of Cameron and Lucy in the previous books and this book give you everything you wanted to know and more about the couple. This book is not just another love ❤️ story rather it is MORE THAN you can ever imagine a story about what FOREVER can be. :) ;)

So, I really love the other books in the series….like seriously in LOVE with this series. So I had some major – and I mean MAJOR – expectations for More Than Forever. Plus, it was about the two characters that I have been dying to read about it. So going into this book I was kind of expecting it to be either super awesome or a disappointment….
Luckily for me, More Than Forever was A-MAZ-ING!
Everything about it was so perfect. The characters were unique and well written. Jay McLean managed to give them their own unique personalities and I loved how individual they were. They definitely weren’t two-dimensional. Lucy was so heartbreaking yet easy to relate to. Her past and what she believes in made the book so much better to read. Cameron was just the perfect male lead in this book. He was drool worthy in every way and I loved how mature he was yet sensitive. Every action was meant to help others.
Of course this book had some drama. I mean, how lame would it be without some heart wrenching twist that would make me want to scream and cry to the point where I almost threw my nook across the room?….super lame. That’s why this author tore my heart out and put it on a stake when she wrote in the plot twist. There is no other way to write an interesting read.
--- I wasn’t this understanding when I first read the book, but now that I got the chance to calm down and re-read I do understand why Jay McLean had to hurt me in this way…. she did it for the book ---
One thing that struck me as kind of awesome was the way that the book progressed. It was almost like I was growing up along with Lucy and Cameron as the author took me from the very beginning of their relationship to the ‘end’.
--- ‘end’ is a relative term that could mean anything from the end of their relationship to the end of the book. ---
I would actually consider reading this book before More Than This just because it is set before that book and doesn’t give too much away. But that’s just me.
Even with the drama and the crying – my crying – this book is one of the best I’ve read and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an fantabulous read.
