I am such a sucker for stories about falling in love with the boy next door and living happily ever after. Forever Blue by Jennifer Edlund is ALMOST just that… Alexa is 12 years-old and is dreading another boring summer sitting at home with no friends. The first day of summer brings change when Carter Storm moves in across the street from Alexa. The two become best friends almost instantly and have a very cute and innocent child “love affair” you...more

I had zero expatiations when I got this book. It was free on Amazon, so I downloaded it. If it’s free it’s for me! I decided to go hide in my room and mentally prepare myself for Thanksgiving with the in-laws when I started reading it. I was shocked at how much I liked it from the beginning!
I thought this story was simple. Girl and Boy meet when they are kids, become best friends, loose each other, then reunite and live HEA! SO not the case! The story starts in a therapy session with Alexa, our...more

I LOVED this book! So much so that I sat and read it all in one sitting. This is a rarity for me because I am incredibly impatient and picky - I will not feel badly to stop reading a book I can't get into or put one down for a while that is losing my attention. I must have been in just the right mood for this very book because I was GLUED to it! Actually...I fortunately already had the 2nd book downloaded as well because I went straight from this book to it's continuation, "Forever Blue: New Tea...more
It was great! Not what I expected!!!
The story is all about Alexa's lack of friend especially after her best friend told her that she doesn't want to hang out with her anymore. Only to find a new friendship in her new neighbor Carter Storm. The two became the best of friends, and soon romance blossom between the two. The only problem is that Carter's mother Mary, will do anything in her power pull the two away from each other. And after fifteen years of non communication there he is right in fron...more

I received a copy of "Forever Blue" by Jennifer Edlund through the Goodreads Giveaway Contest.This is the first book in a two book series.

Forever Blue is a superb debut Romance/Contemporary novel. In the beginning, your attention is very quickly grabbed and draws you into the story without any hesitation, and once you begin reading, you’ll have trouble putting this book down until you have reached the very last page.
This is another favorite being added to my list. Throughout the book, Alexa is a character that many can relate to, and even the other character’s as well, but there was more insight into her world, and quite often I f...more

“Good or bad, I suppose we can all think of at least one person who made a significant impact on our lives. And Aiden forever left a mark on mine."
I found the beginning of this book really good although it starts off with Alexa going to see a therapist. I admit this put me off a little because it wasn't what I was expecting first however after that we get into the story.
The book begins in the past where Alexa meets Carter. This was really cute; I loved their interaction as kids and I really beg...more

This book crammed so many issues in one book, love lost, consequences, betrayal, moving on and facing difficulties on your own.
Reuniting with that first love, Alexa is drawn to the passion of that true love. She then moves along on a journey that starts with a night of passion and creates ties that bind her forever with Carter Storm her long lost boy next door, who just happens to be a successful rock star. Only problem, she happens to be married to Scott Logan, a true heart who loves Alexa wit...more

I loved the story of Forever Blue, but I was surprised and disappointed that it cut off almost mid sentence and that to find out what happened next with Alexa required reading Book 2. Luckily I was able to download the sequel quickly so I could continue reading about her saga.
The book was written so that you were alternating between present and the past (as she told her story to a therapist) but it worked.

Ok where to start...this book went back-n-forth from present to past, which I didn't really like that much since the flash backs didnt seem to be that important, most of it could of been thrown into a couple chapters or removed. And what happened to the therapist?? After the first sit down she disappears when the story begins. Carter or Scotty? I'm team Scotty. Carter irritates me, and I think we all know he's going to break Alexa's heart, and rip apart her marriage if she chooses him. I wish th...more
First of all I want to thank Jennifer for giving me a copy of Forever Blue in exchange for an honest review. Secondly, I'd like to say thank you to Jennifer for also sending me the sequel, Forever Blue: New Tears to Cry Old Songs to Sing, because had she not, I'd be screaming in frustration right now due to the extreme cliffhanger this book has left me with. Thankfully that's not the case, and I am excitedly cracking the sequel open right after I finish this review so that I can see how the stor...more
This is a wonderful book!! I totally loved it! Snags you from the start,you will not want to put this book down.A roller coaster for your emotions!! I laughed,I cried,I got angry and I felt remorse for some of the characters.A truly must read!! Although the ending had me screaming..... She did not just do that to me!! How could she end this story like that?..... Cliffhangers Rock!! That's what keeps us wanting more!! :) Awesome job Jennifer!!
Great writing style. The author had you under the character's spell from the very first page. It is a cliff hanger at the end so plan on purchasing the sequel before you finish the first. It was a page turner and the story kept me excited and interested from start to finish. You will really fall in love with the characters and leave you wanting more...highly recommend.
The story kept my interest BUT, it ended so abruptly with a note to get the next book to find out what happened. That is such a turnoff that I won't ever consider reading that author again. I feel ripped off. I gave it 3 stars only because it kept my interest. That is not the way I like a book to end. It wasn't even a cliff hanger, it was just 'dump'
The premise of the story was Alexa and Carter were best friends and first loves as teenagers. Carter left suddenly when he got a big break in Hollywood. Alexa goes on to struggle without him, gets kicked out of school and eventually loses both parents. When their paths converged again more almost 13 years later, a married, stable Alexa finds herself still strongly attracted to Carter and vice versa.
I feel like the first book is all just lead up to where the second book is going to take us. And...more

Forever Blue had me turning the pages nonstop. The lives of Alexa and Carter are two characters people will be able to connect with. All the twists and turns that happens in their lives will just suck any reader into wanting to read more. In Forever Blue, you get to read all the struggles that happen in Alexa's life to get her to the place that she is today: a strong women who has over come tough obstacles in her life to make her who she is. You will also get to read about Alexa's best friend Ca...more

marked it as to-read
Omigosh, this book sounds so amazing. . . I so want to read it. Love is the most beautiful thing in the world; mix it with my favorite color blue and how much more inticing can it get?
I was lucky enough to be a first reader winner. This is a nicely told coming of age story. How the past can impact our future. We follow Alexa and Carter on this heart wrenching journey, however the conclusion to this story will continue in Jennifer Edlunds next book. Can't wait to find out how it will end.

Another book that ends on a breakneck cliffhanger-only this one almost ended mid conversation.
