The Forever Girl by Rebecca Hamilton
2.0
Sadly enough, this is my first 2 star review. Ever!
The synopsis for this book is more exciting than the actual thing. I found this to be cripplingly slow. There are parts of this story that flow but other and more parts that just seem scattered. I feel like the main heroine, Sophia, just whines so much. She repeats herself over and over and I didn’t even get past the 50% point. But what I did read? I didn’t like or enjoy it all that much.
Sophia is stuck on Charles and his good looks. She doesn’t like when he continuously says that he doesn’t want her but he does. Or that they shouldn’t be together but when they are that they should be together fully and that Sophia needs to be the one to let go of her insecurities. The romance in this story is fake and forced. It just doesn’t flow and I found absolutely no chemistry between the two.
The time jumps are terrible. It doesn’t allow growth but apparently there was some. All I see is Sophia wanting Charles to give up his immortality so that they can be together and grow old and die. She is being selfish making him be the one to make a sacrifice when she herself can become immortal to be with him. I understand that she believes there is no life without death but she wants to kill a part of him to live? Uhm no thanks.
Again, I didn’t read all of this story so there may have been some redeeming qualities. Maybe it picks up at like 90%. Who knows? Definitely not me. (I did read a review on goodreads that told me what happened in the story and while it was interesting enough I just know I can’t continue on)
