I loved seeing the way she dealt with his return. I would almost be okay if he had met someone else and fallen in love, but he didn’t. I thought for sure we’d spend forever together. She was put in such a difficult situation of not knowing why the love of her life walked away with no warning and completely cut off ties from her and was then faced with the reality of him not returning and was left to move on without him. With Josie, I wanted to see how she’d react to him. I loved how understanding he was of her new life despite still being completely in love with her. With Liam now being the tattooed, motorcycle riding, bad boy, rockstar that he was, I wanted to know what made him originally decide to leave his forever girl behind and never look back? He was clearly still 100% in love with her after all these years and never forgot her or was able to let go, so what could have pushed him to leave?ĭespite the fact that I could fathom why he’d have left in the first place, I really respected that he didn’t just thunder back, demanding to be back in Josie’s life. It really helped connect me very early on in the book to the characters and draw me right into the story. There was just so much emotion! There is a tragedy that occurs back in Liam's home town, a death of a close friend, and I just have to give serious props to the author for making me utterly heartbroken over a character I had never even met! I totally felt the hole that his loss had left in his loved ones’ lives. And now I was heading home to face the music.”īy the time I was 3% into my read, I was already choked up. “I gave up on their dreams and the life we had all planned out. See? *clutches heart* Now you can understand why I just HAD to read it! I hope I can explain that after all this time. I’ve poured my soul into my music, but I’ve never forgotten her. I made the right decision for me, but the wrong decision for us. I broke both our hearts that day when I told her I was leaving. Marry my high school sweetheart and live happily ever after. Here’s the blurb, I’ll let you fall in love with it all on your own: I mean, a second-chance rockstar romance? What’s not to love?

I’ll be perfectly honest, when I first read the blurb for this book, I squeed right out loud. Forever My Girl is a beautiful YA rockstar romance about the heartbreak of mistakes, the power of forgiveness, and the hope of a second chance at love.
