Forever is a Really Really Long Time


Forever Too Far (Rosemary Beach #4, Too Far #3) by Abbi Glines
I just started this series and I have read them as fast as the library could get them to me.  With an exception of Never Too Far (book #2) I couldn’t wait for the library and I purchased it on my nook.  These books are fun and fast paced, I can sit down and read one in a day (which is pretty fast for me). 

What I liked:
I still love Blaire.  She is really a great character.  She cares, she loves and she is very compassionate.  She’s forgiving.  She forgives people and wrongs against her very easily with little to no bitterness.  She loves with all she is and that makes her a great character. 

Of course Rush was great.  His character really stepped it up in this book with the wedding gifts, so stinking romantic. 
I actually liked that there was no resolution with his sister and mom.  I can think of way too many books that throw a happy ending with all the loose ends tied up with pretty bows and you think, “Can that happen in real life?”  In real life, Nan would still act the same way, she wouldn’t change because she has never had to before.  I was glad that Grant didn’t forgive her too. 

What I didn’t like:
The language.  I am not saying that certain characters can’t cuss.  Rush is rough around the edges, raised himself and had a rock legend for a father and an absent mother.  He has few morals and is no way religious in any way, therefore I don’t expect him to soften his language for his audience, but daaaaaang.  There was just too much in this book. 

I felt in this book particular that I was unsure on what Blaire and Rush’s relationship stood on.  I know they are attracted to each other, but it was unclear how I could feel confident that their love would last forever.  That is why I am so glad she has written Rush too Far.  I can’t wait to hear it all from Rush’s perspective and find out what he has been thinking from the beginning.  I can’t wait!
I can only recommend this book to 18 and older.  Either way, keep reading my friends!
