Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

“​Touching and powerful...Reid masterfully grabs hold of the heartstrings and doesn't let go. 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.

    I don’t usually write reviews, but I feel like I should warn the next reader. Don’t. Just don’t. This is the most depressing book I’ve ever read. I felt like it was never going to end. I only finished it because I can’t stand not to once I start. 1 star because I couldn’t give it a 0.
  • Emotional and Wonderful Story

    It honestly took me way too long to finish. At first it was promising, but there was just a huge lull throughout the whole book that had me wanting more. I get the premise of the book. I understand the point but it just felt like a monotonous feeling through the entire book. Wish it would have lived up to the hype.

    The book was amazing, but the ending was abrupt. It felt like there should have been more to it.

    Much of this book was sad. But it did touch on some “feel good” areas of people and relationships.

    I love TJR. This book was good, I enjoyed going between different time lines to grow character information. This book is sweet and tender not overly dramatic and punchy. A very easy read that will pull at your heart.
