Forever Interrupted by Taylor Jenkins Reid is getting lots of buzz so I was excited to read it. This book did not disappoint - I zipped through it in a couple of days. Elsie Porter meets the love of her life Ben Ross and they quickly form a relationship and marry in 6 months time. Alas, Ben did not tell his mother about their relationship which becomes a problem when Ben dies in a freak accident.
This book is not just about overcoming grief but forming relationships and healing. I enjoyed following Elsie's and Ben's romance and seeing the bond form between Elsie and Ben's mother Susan.
Great book - would highly recommend but would note to readers this is a story that doesn't necessarily appeal to everyone especially readers that like the fairy tale endings and happily ever afters. 5 stars.
Book Description from Amazon:
Elsie Porter is an average twentysomething and yet what happens to her is anything but ordinary. On a rainy New Year’s Day, she heads out to pick up a pizza for one. She isn’t expecting to see anyone else in the shop, much less the adorable and charming Ben Ross. Their chemistry is instant and electric. Ben cannot even wait twenty-four hours before asking to see her again. Within weeks, the two are head over heels in love. By May, they’ve eloped.
Only nine days later, Ben is out riding his bike when he is hit by a truck and killed on impact. Elsie hears the sirens outside her apartment, but by the time she gets downstairs, he has already been whisked off to the emergency room. At the hospital, she must face Susan, the mother-in-law she has never met—and who doesn’t even know Elsie exists.
Interweaving Elsie and Ben’s charmed romance with Elsie and Susan’s healing process, Forever, Interrupted will remind you that there’s more than one way to find a happy ending.
