This book has been sitting on my TBR list for quite a while now. Though I've heard great reviews about this one, I still kept stalling on it. Well, my loss. I didn't expect that this is something I'd really love. I'm such a huge fan of rock start romance and second chances. First few pages, I got hooked. I kept reading even if it was already 2am and if I didn't have a job to attend to, I might have finished reading it. So here I am, trying to write a sensible review for a story that holds a special place in my heart.
This story started really strong for me and it kept that way until I reached the last page. It's well written, well-paced and the author did a great job with developing the characters and the story plot. I can't help but fall in love with most of the characters here, especially Noah, Elle and Peyton. Josie is a strong heroine. She's not wishy-washy and the way she stood up for Noah, raising him on her own and establishing herself after Liam abandoned her that uneventful night, is so admirable that's why I really liked her character. Left broken and devastated, she tried to move on, met Nick and found herself in-love again until Liam went home to Beaumont. Now that Liam showed up to their bestfriend Mason's funeral, old feelings resurfaced. Josie thought she's over him but she thought wrong. But after 10 years, some things has already changed - she's with Nick and she has a 9 year old son, Noah (whom Liam is totally unaware of), to consider. Some risks has to be taken but is she willing to go for it?
Liam. Oh Liam! At first, you were a real douchebag leaving Josie just like that. What the happened to this, huh? You just ate back your words Liam and for that I got so pissed at you.
“Hey, Jojo?” he yells.
“Yeah.” I yell back.
“I’m going to marry you someday.”
But no worries, as I read further, you redeemed yourself. Though at times I wanted to throttle you with your selfish ways, I completely understand where you're coming from. You just want to follow your dreams but I just hoped that you did it the other way and not wasted 10 years of your time being away with the one person who truly matters to you. Sometimes we have to commit mistakes to know what's really right for us. But past is past and there's nothing we can do but move forward. The groveling things you did to make up for the lost times, really melted my heart and made me fall in love with you.
“I’m standing in front of you, Josie. You just have to turn around.” ... (swoon)
Everything about this book is perfect. I loved every second of it. Truly enthralling from start to finish. Can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series. Just added this in my favorite shelf. Loved it. Loved it. Period.
Highly recommended!
From the first page I was already shaking my head, rolling my eyes and groaning because I thought "Oh great, another book about a pseudo misunderstood rock star with a god complex who bangs sluts because he was hurt by someone". Forever My Girl opened on Liam's point of view and I was already prepared to hate him. Waking up with a random groupie with memories of a certain girl he left behind in his hometown had me wanting to write him off immediately. When he finds out his high school best friend dies he has to return to Beaumont and face the people and the life he left behind. Namely Josie Preston. The girl who he let slip through his fingers. Josie and Liam were the "IT" couple growing up. He was the star quarterback and she was the cheerleader who loved him. Leaving Beaumont to follow his dream to be a musician was something he felt he had to do but he always regretted not bringing Josie with him. Returning home after ten years makes him realize he left a lot more behind than just the love of his life.
Liam Page the musician and Liam Westbury regular guy may be the same person but they are totally different persona's. Liam the singer is cocky, sometimes arrogant and always a prick, especially to the women he brings home. That's one of the main reasons I wanted to hate him from the start. Seeing that side of him right off the bat was almost off putting for me but thank my lucky STARS I kept reading because Liam Westbury, the once loving high school boyfriend was everything I want in a love interest. He had no intention of ever going home again but the death of his best friend was the catalyst for his return. I fell in love with Liam slowly, from his heartfelt eulogy to his determination to care for his best friend's widow, Liam proved he wasn't such a jerk. He wasn't just another tortured artist he had actual reasons for leaving. Getting thrown out of his house by his wealthy and disconnected parents wasn't the only reason he went running. He felt like following his dream wasn't what Josie would have wanted and he couldn't live his life for someone else no matter how much he loved her. I got that about him the more fleshed out he became and I started to really like him. I think what I loved most about Liam was Josie. I loved how she brought out the side of him that he had been trying to bury all these years. I enjoyed watching him grow and want to become the man he knew she needed and deserved.
Josie Preston was an easy character to love. Not just because she had her heart broken by the love of her life when he just left but because she was so damn strong in the aftermath. When Liam left her she was completely devastated and did everything she could to get him to talk to her and explain why he left but he wouldn't take her calls. She's been keeping a secret all these years and found comfort in Doctor Nick Ashford, the towns resident Pediatrician. I felt so bad for Josie not only for having to help her best friend through a tragic time but the stress of Liam's return and the implications it brings into her life. Seeing her put on a facade of strength to be able to get through seeing Liam again was rewarding for me. I wanted her to make him hurt like he hurt her. I wanted her to flaunt her relationship with Nick in Liam's face because he couldn't stand him in high school. She didn't do that though, she took the high road and even though she tried to keep him away she did what was best for everyone in the situation. I hated seeing her caught between Nick and Liam while they sorted out the issues they were facing. I really liked Nick and Josie together and at first didn't want Liam to win her back but poor Nick never stood a chance. You just can't compete with high school sweethearts who experienced so much together and share a bond as strong as Liam and Josie do.
The supporting characters in this book were absolutely fantastic. The death of the beloved best friend Mason and all the memories everyone shared made him feel like an enormous presence and had me tearing up a little. Watching everyone mourn him was tough and you didn't even get to read much about him. I think the author did a fantastic job working him into the story the way she did. It broke my heart for his wife Katelyn having to handle their two daughters alone but I loved how Liam stepped up and helped out because he loved his friend. I wasn't expecting the emotional side of the story to hit me so hard but I found myself feeling everything the characters did. I am absolutely excited and a little afraid to read the next book about Katelyn and I can only imagine the water works that one will bring.
Forever My Girl was a book I didn't want to fall in love with. I love books about Rock Stars even though at times they can be cliche and predictable. I love books with dual points of view and enjoyed the way the author fleshed out her characters. What I found with this one was more than just your run of the mill musician, I found something sweet, honest and endearing that will stay with me for a long time. I would have liked just a little more of the sexy times between the two love interests because they had absolutely amazingly written chemistry that sizzled when they were around each other but overall I was very happy with the way everything turned out. I'm excited to read the other books in the series because even the secondary characters were interesting enough to want to continue. If you need a good story with characters you can love and you like high school sweetheart romances then you should definitely read Forever My Girl!
