More Than Forever by Jay McLean
5.0
I fell in love with Cam and Lucy the first time they were mentioned in the original book of this series. So to suffice it to say, I was excited to read a whole book about them, and man, Jay McLean did not disappoint. Their story was brilliant and beautiful.
My favorite thing about this book was that it went beyond what most books in this genre deliver. It gave us the magical falling in love stage, but then it morphed into something more, where we saw the characters have to really fight for their love. The fell in love at such a young age, that by the time they were in their twenties, they got comfortable and let other things start to detract from their relationship. They didn't have a good grasp on when to fight and when to push and pull between all the stresses in their lives. Then it didn't help that fate stepped in and knocked their unstable asses even further out of equilibrium. This story exhibited just how hard it is to fight for what you love, knowing that it might not pay off, but showing you just how brilliantly love can make your life better. This book doesn't pull punches and make it so that all conflicts can be solved within a few blinks of the eye. Bad things take serious amounts of time and work to overcome them, or at least to move on. And good things aren't nearly as good until they are tested make it out on the other side of the storm.
The next book, seems to be as though it will be about Dylan and Heidi. I'm not certain, but that would be my guess. I have never felt too much (good or bad) towards these characters, however I've felt a lot of good things towards this author, so I have no doubt that Jay McLean will leave me falling in love with Dylan and Heidi's story. I can't wait to read more.
