Review of 'By Taylor Jenkins Reid Forever, Interrupted' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Reading this immediately after Under The Whispering Door was a mistake. Directly compared, Forever Interruped fell flat and felt flat. I don't know exactly why.

On its own, it is a nice little story about love, loss, and recovery, and I think my issue with it is that it's only nice. It's not breathtaking, neither in the Love nor in the Loss sections. I didn't care enough about Ben to mourn him alongside Elsie. I didn't even know Elsie enough to mourn for her loss. Maybe it's different for readers currently battling grief, but I didn't really find into the story to emotionally connect to it.
