Always Forever Maybe, by Anica Mrose Rissi
4.0
TW: domestic abuse
This book greatly highlights the effects of an abusive relationship on a teenage girl. I saw A LOT of myself in Betts and how oblivious she was to the abuse and how desperate she was for Aiden’s love. This is something that unfortunately a lot of young girls feel when experiencing an abusive relationship. Also, the friendship dynamic is hella fine 👌 I loved how Jo stuck up for her best friend and wouldn’t let Betts push her away.
Some things I didn’t like however, was the dynamic between Cicily and Betts because it seemed to me that Betts hated her for no damn reason. I also didn’t like how the author felt the need to add the possibility of
(SPOILER: Betts having a relationship in the near future, I wish she would have just let Betts be single with no prospect of a future relationship any time soon).
Other than that this is a good short novel you can read in one sitting.
