jessica42980 's review for:
The Forever Night Stand
by Bena Roberts

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The description of The Forever Night Stand had everything in it that would interest me: cancer, a decision that changes everything which includes a court case. And there are also two points of view (George and Sara) in this novella- and by now you know I love multiple points of view.
I liked the acknowledgements section: You know what kind of life circumstances will be occurring with this novella. Roberts’ lets you know that she experienced chemotherapy and obviously took her personal experience and added it to Sara’s.
Roberts does pull you in from the beginning with the court case which did interest me! I love a good court case! Once the court case ends is when the story gets moving. Sara ends up moving back home with her Indian family and begins trying to move on. It gives you some insight what Indian families can be like!
The Forever Night Stand ended up not being for me. It was nothing on Roberts’ end, it really was me: I just did not connect with the characters. If you don’t connect with the characters the story won’t work for you. At the end where the meaning of the title comes in would have been an “Awww!” moment if I had connected with Sara. Though not for me, The Forever Night Stand could be for you. I would also be willing to give Bena another chance and read another one of her writings!
