Forever, Interrupted by Taylor Jenkins Reid
2.0
It pains me to say that I didn't really like this book even though Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of my all-time favourite authors.
For me the book was too fast. I couldn't really sympathize with Elise and Ben's relationship since everything went by so fast like why would you marry someone after 6 months? Kinda seems crazy to me (but maybe that's just me).
When Ben died I didn't feel as sad as I probably was supposed to feel, but it was due the lack of their relationship growth.
Honestly, I get that Elsie lost her husband, but she was so mean to Ana and everyone around her that it made me go :(. And that she thought that a Person that she only knew for 6 months is the love of her life … (maybe I'm just too single to understand it) but I'm glad that she had Susan to humbled her.
Another point where I couldn't take Elise seriously was when she got mad at Ana for having a boyfriend and having a strong connection with him because apparently it's "Elsie and Ben's thing" YOU AREN'T ALONE ON THIS WORLD.
I liked the use of now and then, but the writing was bad, and it didn't even feel like a book of hers.
Overall I found it okay, but it's definitely one of her weakest books.
