Review
Forever Beautiful is the story I have been waiting on for way too long and now that I finally read it I can breath a sigh of relief. Ella Bordeaux writes a story that makes sense and gives us a sense of hope and accomplishment. It's been so long since I haven't read YA that and I forgot how refreshing it is. This books was beautiful and written with passion and soul. I felt everything these characters were feeling and I even shed a few tears during the emotional parts.
Forever Beautiful starts right away where Beautiful (Book 1) left off. I won't say exactly what happened but it hit me hard and I was happy to finally have read this book. It gave me all the answers I needed and I was so relieved! What I love about this story is that not only are we following Skylar an Wyatt, but we also get Mitch and Michelle. It is the perfect combination and I love that we get their story as well.
Ella Bordeaux creates a world where it is hard not to love these characters. You get to know them and follow their dreams in Forever Beautiful and it is fascinating to watch. I was captivated and drawn in to this story and I am incredibly sad to let it go but I couldn't be happier. This book was everything and more!
ExcerptGrabbing my purse, I headed to the door. Opening it, I let out a scream when I saw Zeb there with his hand up, ready to knock. “Holy shit, Skylar! You scared the piss out of me.” Covering my chest with my hand, I took in a few deep breaths. “Zeb, what are you doing here?” He shook his head and laughed. “I told Michelle I’d meet her today. I have a few things to pick up, and…well, I wanted to say good-bye to her in person. I figured y’all would be back by now.” “Did she not text you? She had to stay back in Waco with Wyatt. She had a leak; her hot water went out or something.” Zeb smiled. “No. I didn’t get the text.” I frowned. “Weird.” He shrugged. “Well, would you mind if I came in really quick and grabbed my stuff? It’s just a couple of shirts.” I lifted my brows. Why in the world does he have clothes here? He’d never spent the night. “Shirts?” “Sweatshirts. I wore a few over here and forgot them.” Zeb and his sweatshirts. I swore, he had one for every day of the year. With a chuckle, I motioned for him to come in. “I was getting ready to leave, but if it will just take a few minutes, no problem.” “Thanks, Skylar.” Zeb walked past me and headed to Michelle’s room. I shut the door and made my way into the kitchen. Glancing at my watch, I still had a few minutes to spare. Might as well grab some water and a few snacks. I had a feeling it was going to be a long night. I hated Tupperware parties. Or Pimped-Out Chef or whatever the hell it was called. We were in college. Half of us lived in dorm rooms. Why in the hell do we need kitchen stuff? Opening the refrigerator, I grabbed an apple and a cheese stick. When I turned back around, Zeb was standing in the kitchen. I screamed and dropped my snacks. “Jesus, Zeb. You scared me again.” By the look on his face, I instantly knew something wasn’t right. Everything I’d learned in self-defense class was pulsing through my body. It was like a sign was flashing, Warning! “You’ve got to know, I’ve always liked you, Skylar.” Panic started to set in as I quickly took in the situation. When I glanced down, I noticed he had nothing in his hands. “Where, um…where are your sweatshirts?” He looked down at his hands and then back up at me. “I know you want me as much as I want you. I’ve seen the way you look at me.” Oh God. This isn’t happening to me again.
