I loved every single word from this book. The story was so different. you're use to them running away for a few months and coming back, but after 10 years and wanting to make everything right again.
I cried, laughed, and i fell in love.

The story was good but I didn't like how it was developed.It didn't captivate me at all, the characters were so poorly written and I couldn't connnect with them. There were also too many cliches in there.
I give it 2 stars because of the plot, just that.

I really liked this book. There were definitely some tears involved and i kind of thought that Nick got a little shafted but overall a really good read.
Ugh. Just no. There's absolutely no way I can sympathize with Liam because he's an immature fucking idiot. The first interaction where he is upset with Josie for not having told him about Noah when he *changed his phone number so she couldn't call him* ...No. Just no. Illogical and dumb. I refuse.
Forever My Girl by Heidi McLaughlin

~~NOW BEING FILMED FOR A MOVIE~~
Interconnected NA Standalone.
I grabbed the first two books in the Beaumont Series by Heidi McLaughlin when I saw that they were $1.99 on audible. With as much as I listen, I really appreciate the cheaper ones, especially when it's a book on my TBR for years.
I enjoyed the story enough to listen to the next in the series, but I have to say, I had a really hard time with the female narrator. She was strangely slow, but never really ended her sentences, just went right into the next one. I had to speed up her chapters, then slow it back down for the male narrator. Very annoying, but worth it, because I enjoyed this new adult rock star novel.
“Hey, Jojo?” he yells.
“Yeah,” I yell back.
“I’m going to marry you someday.”
Josie and Liam were high school sweethearts. He was the football star and she was the cheerleader. Their whole lives were about football. His family life was about football. After a time in college, Liam realized he loved music, not football, and left everything in his life to pursue music. Including the love of his life.
"I thought for sure we’d spend forever together. I thought our love was one of a kind. I would almost be okay if he had met someone else and fallen in love, but he didn’t. He just left.”
Ten years later, Liam, now a famous rock star, is back in town for his high school best friend's funeral. Mason stayed with his high school sweetheart and left beautiful little girls and a loving wife behind. Seeing the hole Mason left had me crying even though he was already gone before the book begins.
Liam never stopped loving JoJo. She was always the one who got away, and he realized over the years that he will never love like that again. He was scared to go to the funeral, yet so drawn to Josie he couldn't help himself. But she is engaged to a good guy (or he seemed good, but I never liked him). JoJo has secrets now, and Liam wants answers.
"You don't get to come in here and demand answers, Liam. You've been off playing rock star. You're the famous Liam Paige. You left this," I spread my around and point to myself. "You left me. There's no room for you here."
Josie's heart didn't agree with her words, and she never thought the young words they had spoken could ever happen again.
“I love you, Liam.”
“You’re forever my girl.”
Likes:
- •Really sweet second chance romance.
- •I liked the secondary characters.
- •It never felt rushed at all.
- •Made me FEEL right from the beginning.
- •Alternating points of views and present and past.
- •The children.
- •Made me want to read the next.
Dislikes:
- •Not sure if was the narrator or the story, but I was kind of down at the end.
- •The female narrator was too slow and didn't know how to stop at a period.
- •Their original break-up just didn't make much sense.
The Down & Dirty:
Liam didn't have a good enough reason for leaving the love of his life behind and pursuing his career in music. I still don't get why he didn't tell her the truth, and that tainted my feelings toward him a bit. I did like that the story took a while to evolve, and that Liam was a very patient man. The story is well written, but I had a really tough time with the female narrator. She didn't even pause to breathe between present and past making it very tough to follow, plus she is sooo slow and sad sounding that the book left me in a sort of melancholy mood. I usually try to rate the story and narration separately, but since the narrator affected my mood so much, it is very hard to separate.
Rating: 3 stars, 3 heat, 2.5 narration (he was pretty good) Would probably be rated higher if I read and didn't listen.

This wasn't a literary masterpiece. It didn't change my life or do anything special, but I really did like it. The plot is a little cliche and there were some inconsistencies, but they didn't bother me enough to take away from the book. Also, there were definitely some spelling and grammar errors, but not too many to be a distraction. This book probably deserves a 3.5, but I'm rounding up. Also, yes it is a series, but this book stands alone as well.
The story is about a rockstar who left his small town and his high school sweetheart ten years ago to make music. But once his best friend dies, Liam Returns to Beaumont, just to discover that in this 10 years he missed a lot.
The story is really sweet, but I didn't feel connected to the characters, because everything just happened so fast in the story, that it ended a litlle predicted, without really some explanation.
What a enjoyed the most were the little flashbacks to understande their relationship.
I read it really fast, and overall I enjoyed, but I felt like there were some parts missing, but I'll obviously read the next book in the series, because that couple is just so sweet.
