Forever and Never by Ella Fields

5+ Forever and Ever CROWNS
I’ve hit a great reading streak recently. Book after book of well-written, entertaining romances, but this one, Forever and Never knocked me over. This book had me living every heartbreak, every dumb decision, every moment of triumph with Lars and Daphne. And you know what I felt at the end? Bereft. I felt a hole in my heart because I didn’t want to let them go. I still don’t. Ella Fields has effectively ruined my reading mojo for a bit with this epic book hangover.
One of the reasons I fell so hard for this story is because I am infatuated with all things Daphne and Lars. Not because they are idyllic or a perfect heroine and hero, but because they are real. These characters, like most of Ella’s, are flawed and they do awful things when they are hurt or damaged by someone they love. Ultimately, though, that is why I love Ella’s books. She doesn’t write about the fantasy. She writes about reality, and in real life, people do the wrong thing sometimes, even with the right intentions. But even when Lars and Daphne are at odds with each other and doing deplorable things, the love emanates from their eyes, from the motivation behind their actions. And even though, they have their rough moments, I love who they were at their core - Lars with his artistic and intense devotion, and Daphne with her guarded heart. I’ll never forget these two or their journey.
What makes Ella a one-click author for me is her writing. Yes, I love her authentically flawed characters, and her ability of capture my attention with her often unconventional romances, but her ability to make me live in the story and experience the highs and the lows with them is what keeps me coming back. I’m always emotionally spent when I’m done an Ella Fields book, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Books are about living within the pages, and I love all the heartbreaking, breathtaking, and soul-altering moments of each and every book. FOREVER AND NEVER, did all of this. ALL OF IT.
On top of all of these reasons, the themes and ideas of forgiveness and love, although changing and altering, remains, and this poignant message resonated. The love she writes about, while at times ugly, is the real stuff. It survives the hardships, the disappointment and betrayals. Love endures, and there isn’t anything more romantic than that notion.
Ella Fields has destroyed my heart, and it’s been Pieced back together a bit wonky. I feel a bit bruised, but, to me, that is the sign of a good book, one that burrows into your mind and heart, and alters you. And for that, FOREVER AND NEVER, will without a doubt be a top read of 2019!
