Between Now and Forever by Dylan Allen
4.0
**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**
Between Now and Forever is the first book in the Forever Trilogy and the beginning of Elisabeth & Carter's love story. I absolutely loved the way Beth and Carter met, and how he interacted with her. I especially liked that he adjusted his approach when he started to get an idea of her personality. Both characters have their own struggles, doubts, and dreams. There was a real connection between the characters, however it really was in the early stages. So I really look forward to seeing it grow in the upcoming two books. They are both young and especially Beth is someone who has been secluded and a bit naive, so she is experiencing a lot of things for the first time ever. She is not timid though, and I was happy to see some growth in her in this book.
There were some pretty heartbreaking scenes in this book, but also a lot of uplifting ones. The making out scenes were hot and heavy, and I always enjoy the ones Dylan writes. Overall, I think this book was a great introduction to the characters and their story. I really look forward to what will happen in the next book after the cliffhanger ending, which I didn't see coming. The pace of the story is great, and I love Dylan's writing style. I also love the characters she has created for this trilogy. There is some drama, but it didn't really bother me that much in this book. I look forward to all the angst, heartbreak, romantic and swoon-worthy moments in the rest of the trilogy.
