Ella and Micha have survived tragedy and heartbreak. When they're together, anything seems possible. But now they are thousands of miles apart, and managing their long distance relationship will put their love to the test.
Ella is back at school, trying hard not worry so much about her future. But with her father in and out of rehab, she's having a hard time making it through the days. All she wants is Micha by her side, but she refuses to let her problems get in the way of his dreams.
Micha spends his days touring the country with his band, but deep down he knows something is missing. Being away from Ella is harder than he thought it would be. He wants her closer to him-needs her with him. But he won't ask her to leave college, just to be with him.
The few moments they do spend together are intense and passionate, but it only makes it more difficult when they have to part. They know they want to be together, but is wanting something enough to get them to their forever?
My Thoughts
One word.. DISAPPOINTED.
I've read the first book The Secret of Ella and Micha and enjoyed it very much and been waiting for the second book ever since! But in this book, the writing and heroine frustrate me to no end.
The Forever of Ella and Micha picks up from the first book where Ella is back at school and Micha is in the band touring the country... the story is about them dealing with long distance relationship and family issues...
In this book, Ella is going through some depression, guilt, jealousy, and emotional breakdowns. What I liked is that she showed more maturity with facing her problems but what frustrate me, is that she keeps pushing Micha away because... really, half of the book is her running away from him. She says she needed time to work on herself and if they could just be friends for now... I'm like W.T.F!
Micha on the other hand is very understanding, loving and supportive to Ella.. He has his own issues but still stayed strong and always there for her even though Ella keeps pushing him away .. so again.. W.T.F is wrong with Ella? Micha is very supportive and you just wallowed with your own self issues and couldn't decide if you want him or not... tells him you can just be friends... for now.. but then the next day you'll be all over him making out.. then again will repeat everything that I just described?! Heck.. maybe she really is crazy huh.
It doesn't make any sense why the author even made a second book in this series.. make up.. break up.. make up.. break up...the story just went in circles it drove me nuts!
I just hope there won't be another story about them.. but really if there is- then I'm guessing it will be about having a family and Ella getting pregnant and thinking being a mom is not good. Something like..
"Oh no. I'm not ready to be a mother.. what if I pass this craziness to my baby?" lol.
Okay, I'ma go stop ranting now, I'm sorry but this just pissed me off. This book has a lot of potentials, the author could have been more creative with the story but damn if I know what happened.
I'm just giving this book 3 stars because of Micha. The guy is fucking amazing!
Now I cannot wait for Lila and Ethan.. hopefully it will be better than this one.
