Between Now and Forever by Dylan Allen

5.0

Holy hit you with the feels Batman! This is the first book by Dylan Allen that I have read and honestly, I do not know why I waited so long! This story was really raw and beautiful but also heartbreaking and earth shattering! We have Beth who just wants to fit in. Then we have Carter who just wants to live his life but on his own terms. But these two together? It is pure magic. Their stolen moments and their connection is just stunning. But as things play out, your heart shatters with everything these two go through on their own.
Honestly, it is hard to write this review because I just want to scream from the rooftops about this whole story and what happened to these two. Allen writes a story that will suck you in and leave you begging for more. And you have to know that this is a trilogy, so the ending… Oh man. My heart. What I really loved about this book aside from the concept, is the fluidity of the words. They just melt off the page and you devour this story. The characters are so raw and in so much pain for various reasons but find solace in each other. I am so looking forward to the second book!
