Forever My Girl

Heidi McLaughlin

I was never supposed to be a rock star. I had my life all planned out for me. Play football in college. Go to the NFL. Marry my high school sweetheart and live happily ever after. I broke both our hearts that day when I told her I was leaving. I was young. I made the right decision for me, but the wrong decision for us. I've poured my soul into my music, but I've never forgotten her. Her smell, her smile. And now I'm going back. After ten years. I hope I can explain that after all this time. I still want her to be my forever girl.

I loved this book.
Liam was just... wow and Josie was tough and sassy and strong.
I loved the supporting cast as well, especially the kids.
There was drama galore here but I did think there would be more outside drama. I also think the story is far from finished (hence the following books) but I’m unsure if I’m going to read them. Maybe after a while I’ll give them a go.

Decent story. Believable and likable characters.

High school sweetheart story, add ten years, a different direction in careers, and a death of a mutual friend to bring the main characters back together.

Liam takes it slow and steady in his pursuit of winning Josie back and having the family he wants with her.

Someone needed to punch Sam. She was a clingy, annoying little parasite.

Such a sweet and heart wrenching book. & it's even better than the movie!

3/5 

Story was very cute but a little rushed. I think I enjoyed the movie a little more though.

I found this to be a very enjoyable "back to basics" romance, which totally reminded me why I started reading romance in the first place.

I can't wait to see the movie next weekend, although judging by the trailers, it appears to be far different than the book. I look forward to the comparison!

So, first off let me say I'm about a week late on this review. Forever My Girl was my TBR List pick for July and I didn't get it read in time to review by the last Saturday of the month. Womp womp. I blame the other book series I was devouring. Ha! Now that we've cleared that up, on with the review...

I'm kinda sad this one has been sitting on my TBR as long as it has, to be honest. I probably should've read it long before now. Y'all know how much I love my second chance stories and Liam and Josie's story really worked for me. It was sweet and sexy, but also fairly angsty. There is a love triangle here as Josie is with someone else, but it didn't really bother me. It was pretty obvious she belonged with Liam, so I figured it was just a matter of time before Nick disappeared entirely. I was ok with that because I didn't feel any type of connection to him anyhow. It was clear he was a stand in for Liam, the man she never stopped loving. Of course, there was plenty of drama and angst along the way, but it felt realistic. There were plenty of feels in this book as Josie and Liam tried to figure out how to reconcile their past with their present and future. 

Liam and Josie were wonderful characters. I found it really easy to root for them, both together and separately. Watching them grow and find themselves while working their way back to the other was one of my favorite parts of the book. One of my other favorite parts? Noah. I adored that little guy and his scenes, particularly with Liam, gave me feels. This book also had some wonderful secondary characters and I can't wait to get more from this world. I really enjoyed the combination of sweet and sexy times, with swoons and even the angst. 

Forever My Girl is my first Heidi McLaughlin book, but it certainly won't be my last. I can't wait to read more about the Beaumont gang. What a great start to a series from a new favorite new-to-me author! 

FAVORITE QUOTES

Even if I did the unthinkable and left her, it's not like I didn't love her. Leaving her broke my heart too.

I thought for sure we'd spend forever together. I thought our love was one of a kind. 

"I'm standing in front of you, Josie. You just have to turn around."

I’m not a fan of romances, but this one was bearable and alright. And I think it’s the first time where I think that the movie is better than the book.
