Forever, Interrupted

By Taylor Jenkins Reid
Forever, Interrupted by Taylor Jenkins Reid digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Soon to be a Netflix limited series!

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo—"Reid is seriously a genius when it comes to stories about life and love" (Redbook). "A stunning first novel” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

“Have you ever heard of supernovas? They shine brighter than anything else in the sky and then fade out really quickly, a short burst of extraordinary energy. I like to think you and Ben were like that . . . in that short time, you had more passion than some people have in a lifetime.”

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.

“A really in depth look at grief and how the pendulum swings for a very long time. And I appreciated that this wasn’t a story about finding romantic love after loss but a story about platonic friendship love that can really save you when you need to be saved!”
“I love me some TJR, however this book wasn’t one of my favorites from her. I enjoyed reading it, but it took me a long while to finish. I felt like she could have given us more both throughout the story and at the end. Especially more about the familial relationships and how Elsie moves on in the end. It felt not fully developed to me. Some things were rushed while others were drawn out. Some things seemed perfectly logical but others made me think “that would never actually happen.” I would recommend it with caution, as everyone deals with these topics differently so some readers may appreciate this aspect more than I did.”
“The first red flag was two people whose frontal lobes have just barely developed getting married after knowing each other for 4 months. The biggest red flag was Elsie wanting her apartment to be ninety degrees. This book felt like I was just switching between a manic and depressive episode every chapter and overall was a BUMMER”
