A huge thanks for Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and Netgalley for this digital ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I am squealing at how much I loved this! 🥰 I flew through this book, but found myself slowing my reading down so I could really savor every word.

First let's start with the strange but wonderful premise: knowing how a relationship will end with the first kiss. Honestly, I feel like this would be such a stressful thing to deal with! Would you stay with someone knowing how it will end, or would you continue searching for *The One*? Amy has had to kiss a lot of duds before she finally kisses her "One". Unfortunately, she was extremely drunk at her friend's wedding and kissed three guys and can't remember which premonition is which!

The secondary characters were amazing, and so full of personality and even flaws. I really appreciate when the characters are more dimensional and nuanced to make it more realistic (well, as realistic as a story with magic can be! 😉)

I did predict the ending, but I'm extremely happy about it! 😍 I wish we could have gotten more details on that aspect. Read this if you enjoy happily ever afters with a touch of magic! ✨ This book comes out August 15, so go ahead and pre-order your copy now!
