A review by boghunden
Between Now and Forever by Dylan Allen
4.0
I adored this book, and I absolutely loved Carter right from the beginning.
This is one twisted tale indeed. It starts off ever so sweet with a very lovely prologue, but boy oh boy, how things change.
Elizabeth is a lovely heroine, struggling with ALL.THE.THINGS. Seriously. Her life is NOT one that you envy or even want for your worst enemy. I felt for her all the time. At the same time, I identified with some of her feelings, especially in regards tomaking your family proud and wanting (needing?) their acceptance .
Carter is a great hero as well. He has issues of his own and lots of flaws, but he's also very reasonable and easy to relate to.
There's a wide variety of characters in this book, but they were easy to keep track of.
The reason this wasn't a five star read for me is that it felt too much as the beginning of a book. I get that it's a trilogy and I'm okay with that, but I think the pacing was a bit too slow, at least for my liking.
The book ends with a cliffhanger, but I have to say I wasn't too surprised. It's not that I saw it coming exactly, but I had a pretty good idea where it was going, and in the end, I wasn't too far off. That being said, I'm still VERY excited to see where this is headed!! :D
