Forever, Interrupted by Taylor Jenkins Reid

4.5

I am typically a happily ever after kind of girl, and this book is not that. I could not put it down anyway. The blurb on the back spells it all out…Elsie and Ben are madly in love and get married, then he dies nine days later. All of this happens in the first seven pages 😳

The character development in this story is incredible! It’s written in dual timelines, so you have Elsie and Ben’s love story interwoven with Elsie’s grief journey. Add onto that, Ben’s mother, Susan, didn’t know about Elsie at all! I really enjoyed watching the relationship between Elsie and Susan develop, while they were both dealing with grief in their own ways and together. I absolutely recommend this book if you are looking for a story of deep love, loss, grief, and hope.
