Taylor Jenkins Reid has become one of my all-time favourite authors and I am working my way through all of her published works.
Forever, Interrupted was an incredibly emotional read. We follow multiple characters through their grief and it is heartbreaking at times and inspiring and insightful at others. Like Taylor's other books, we have dual timelines written here and it adds another layer and dimension to the story. This book is a very slow burn and our main character can be annoying at times but it did not away any of my enjoyment.
You can tell this was Taylor's first book but that is not necessarily a bad thing. It shows how much progress has been made with the writing in each book, despite it being clever, multi-dimensional and insightful to begin with. Taylor Jenkins Reid has such an incredible talent for writing and I cannot wait to experience more of it.
