Forever, Interrupted by Taylor Jenkins Reid
This is a beautiful story of grief and surviving it.
Elsie and Ben were like a supernova, an extraordinary burst of light and energy.
Elsie picked up a pizza on an ordinary errand and found an extraordinary love, she met Ben and the chemistry was explosive and electric. In a short time, they were completely head over heels. Then they eloped. In less than two weeks later, tragedy strikes and Elsie has to find her way through grief with a mother-in-law that she’s never met.
Not all endings are full of the happiness we anticipate but there is a way to find happiness through the heartbreak of grief.
I was so angry initially, with the twist and then I immediately identified with Elsie. I enjoyed the beautiful character development as I experienced her story and the book was just excellent. It’s not a topic we like to discuss but the raw beauty in experiencing it lets you know that you’re human and you should enjoy your time and embrace your feelings.
I loved this journey of grief because it’s something relatable for everyone at some point and Elsie’s experience was so real and thought out, I felt like I was with her.
An excellent book, but get some tissues beforehand. So raw and so real! 5/5⭐
