Never Apart by Romily Bernard Review...

Hi ForeverBookers,  

Last night I finished Never Apart and I ending up enjoying it. When I started reading it, I found it quite boring. It was at about 60% that I started thinking it was good. I was quite lost at the beginning but Grace, our lead protagonist is lost so I think we're meant to feel as she does. 

I'm not going to quote any of the story because this review would go on for too long, if I did, I feel. 

Spoilers below...

We meet Grace when she's on the run from someone. Although, the person is revealed in the book I don't want to as it's a pretty major spoiler, I think. Grace is special. She can hop into different timelines. She doesn't like being able to do this, though. I don't want to reveal anything about the time hopping as that is again a pretty big spoiler. 

Grace has a boyfriend, Ander and there's another boy, Finn in the story. This sort of plays out as a love triangle but it wasn't annoying. Grace has clear boundaries throughout. 

What did I like about Never Apart? 

I liked how the story was told from Grace's POV. It made some of the aspects of the story more relatable. 

I liked how Grace's parents were featured a lot. Often in YA stories, the parents are either dead or absent in some way. Here, they actually had a role to play, as well.

I liked how this story was fantasy or magical but also set in the real world. 

I liked how the story just focused on 4 main characters. I could see the development of these characters as the story progressed. There were other minor characters but they didn't mess up the flow of the story. 

What didn't I like about Never Apart?  

I didn't like how it was slow to get to the romance. With a title like Never Apart, I thought that it would be far more romantic than it actually was. 

I didn't like how boring Never Apart seemed to be. While I was reading I was always thinking, "when will something exciting happen?" But it didn't until right at the end. 

Overall then, I liked Never Apart. I didn't love it because it was missing my favourite trope for the majority but even with the kind of love triangle it wasn't too bad. I'm therefore giving it 3 stars! 

Stand by for my next review. Coming soon...

American Royals (#1 American Royals) by Katharine McGee review

Hey ForeverBookers,   I’ve just finished American Royals by Katherine McGee and I LOVED it! If you love scandal and complicated love stories in a contemporary setting, then you will love it as well! Think a royal version of Gossip Girl and you have this book in a nutshell. American Royals follows six characters, all of the new adult age range that come together to create a story of intrigue and romance. There isn’t high action or really a plot outside of the romance which was fine with me as I really enjoy stories just focused on the romance. I appreciated how “American Royals” only focused on the six different characters. There weren’t loads of personalities to get to know, and they all followed the same pattern as they’re all from or have grown up around a certain standing in society. This made the characters easy to follow and understand. It is a character led story, without as I said, much plot.  What there is of a plot of American Royals is taken up with the ascension of ...

Rebound (The Pentagon Book 1) by Rosemary Rey Review

Hey ForeverBookers,  How are you all doing today? I hope you’re well!  I’ve just finished rereading Rebound by Rosemary Rey and I loved it! From recollection I loved it the first time I read it as well, about 5 years ago.  5 Stars! I read this for a few readathons: For Reading Rivalry - A book I think should be turned into a movie - I’d love to see this play out on television, actually but a movie is close enough.  For Litwits - A love story - that’s the central plot of Rebound and the whole Pentagon trilogy.  Literary Love Affair - Soulmate Love - Perla and Matt are what I class as realistic soulmates. Popsugar Reading Challenge 2019 - A book by an author whose first and last names start with the same letter - Rosemary Rey.  Rebound is set in America and is about an almost 30 year old woman, Perla Mercurio and a doctor, Matthias Keene who have a very passionate affair...do they fall in love??? You’ll have to read to find ...
