Book Review: Forever by Monica Murphy (Friends * 3)

When I first saw the book, I was excited. I remember liking the series a lot but nope, I don't remember what happen to the two books before that.

Now, does it still means that I really like the books if I cant even remember the plot before this?

Anyways, I did a quick refresh on the previous two books.

I read the first page of first book - Just Friends. hmm.. everything came back in place. I remember really liking all the dramas between Em, Dustin, Livvy and Ryan. Truth to be told, I kinda wish the second book to be still about Livvy and Ryan. Seeing that I have remembered the first book, I went straight to the second book - More Than Friends.

The book about Jordan Tuttle and Amanda Winters. OK.. I don't remember the ending. Fine, let's do a quick read about it. 
I should really write reviews on both books but going back to it after knowing the ending seems meaningless.

Okies.  

I am ready for Forever now (Yep, I finished More Than Friends in 3 hours. Bravos for the real quickie).

Now, Forever.

How should I start?

I think I will summarize it this way,

I like Tuttle then I hate him then I like him again then I hate him again.

"Make up your mind!" 

Well that's for me and him.

Gosh, towards the end, the first thing that I thought of was, why do I even bother reading this. I should have known the ending based on the title - Like "FOREVER"??? Duh..

Anyways, I bear with it cause I am curious about Ryan and Livvy.

A note to Monica Murphy, Can I have a better understanding on Ryan and Livvy's situation please? You know I really wish I could dig in and see what is it that is in Ryan's mind? Like can I know more about him? Is he really this self-obsessed and did he even like Livvy in the first place?  

 Next question, why is the third book is still about Amanda and Tuttles? They are like so boring.. Amanda is always obsessed about how hot Tuttle is and Tuttle is always thinking that he is not good enough for Amanda but in reality, what is so good about Amanda? She is so judgy and I don't really see her being very smart like how everyone else describes her to be. I would really rather have the third book to be about Em and Cannon.

It really feels like "Forever" is a book which are made up of large supporting cast and while they are giving the spotlights to the main characters, these supporting characters have so many other important plots taking place in the background but all their actions leave us hanging and wanting more.

Lauren Lauren Lauren... Eli Eli Eli.....

How did Em and Cannon know each other?

How about Blake and Kyla *Dropping the bomb about Kyla's past hurt us *literally* but then that's it, we will leave it there and there will be no follow-ups until like maybe the next book if there is one*

I really want to like this book cause I really like the first and are OK with the second (cause Jordan and Amanda are still fresh and intriguing at that point of time) but nope, I don't think this book do it for me. Probably because my expectation is high on this series?

Some notable moment in the book - I like the one where "Jordy" make the relation with Closer, the Chainsmoker songs because he drives a Range Rover. That got my hyped somehow and I can't even explain why..

Oh.. and I kinda like the cover, so additional stars for that..

hmm.. Till next time with the next book then,

Forever,
