Book Review: "Forever Friday"


Before reading, please note that I received Timothy Lewis' "Forever Friday" as an advanced copy and is not available for purchase until September 17, 2013.

I found this book to be a very easy read filled with messages of everlasting love and hope. I immediately fell in love with the story of Gabe and Huck's relationship, from beginning to end. However, I found the Narrator to be a character that this book should have done without.

I couldn't appreciate the narrator with his decision to take the postcards away from the family of Gabe and Huck to use for his own personal quest. I felt that this character was spying on a love story that he was never meant to see, and the conversations with the couple's house keeper felt forced and unnatural. The story would have been much more appreciated had the narrator been a member of the family, or even the house keeper herself. The chosen narrator was a huge distraction to the story.

That being said, I did very much enjoy reading the love between Gabe and Huck. It's a love I have grown to become jealous of, and hope for something like that of my own one day. My only actual complaint was that there weren't more pieces of their life shared with the reader.

Overall, I did enjoy the book, and I think it is safe to say it has earned a spot in my personal library.

I received this book through the Blogging for Books program in exchange for a complete and honest review.
