I didn't like it much! And I'm already looking for a new book or a new series to start.
As much as I'd like to know what happens after .... you know, I don't want to spoil it, I have to say "goodbye Bayleigh".

Amazing

I love The Beginning of Forever. I liked be Jace and Bayleigh story. I love that Jace and Bayleigh have this amazing relationship. I love that Bayleigh loves Jace with her whole heart and would do anything for the people she loves. I also love that Bayleigh is so sweet caring and she never stops telling Jace how much he means to her. I love Jace is unconditional in love with Bayleigh and he show her daily how much she means to him.

Not like I thought it would be..

I was really excited for this book and was so excited when I saw that I could finally get it. Unfortunately, this book was a little lacking in details (only in the end). Will we find out what happens to bayleigh and her baby? Where is jace and her going?
I liked the rest of the book though. I just wish you would've given more details about what would happen with the rest of her pregnancy..

Best Young Adult Romance Series Ever!

I don't know what it is about the Summer Unplugged series that makes it so unique and wonderful! I love Bayleigh's transformation from immature teenager to confident adult, I love Jace as a responsible young man and awesome-as-heck thrill-seeker, and I love this series so much that I pretty much recommend it to everyone I meet! It's such a great series, and not only do the characters develop, the plot grows up with the characters as well! This transformation from young adult to new adult is absolutely perfect, and I couldn't love this whole series more if I tried! Amazingly written, Amy Sparling!!

ADORABLE!

This book is longer than the novellas that make up the beginning of the series, and is yet another fabulous installation in the Jace and Bayleigh series. Pre-wedding jitters, baby stress, and the usual jealousy and insecurities that Bayleigh faces with all of the gorgeous, gorgeous girls always trying to sidle up to her man in public fill the pages of this story, plus a few unfortunate mishaps that throw things off track!

A great little read, as are the others!

[Remi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved this book so much

[Vanessa Brackett · Rating 3 out of 5]

These books are so cheesy, but so cute 🥲😂

Bayleigh is being Bayleigh again, insufferable and so immature. The wedding colors OMFG, the early 2010s are so prominent in this series 😭 I love it lol 😂

[Mackenzie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the fifth book in the series and it is all about the planning and build up to Bayleigh and Jace' s wedding. It is only worth reading if you read the first 4 books. I always enjoy a little extra time with characters I've already invested so much time in so it was nice to indulge a little in their wedding plans and post engagement life. However, I was disappointed that Bayleigh was still ridiculously jealous of every single girl that showed Jace the slightest attention. It really shouldn't matter if a girl shows him attention if he isn't returning the favor. A twinge of jealousy can be called habit but letting it bother her for so long and so deeply is disappointing. It makes me wonder why she has so little faith in his love for her and why doesn't that bother him more.

I loved this book. I am sad that it is the last book of this series, but glad that I had the chance to enjoy it.
The Beginning of Forever is about a girl named Bayleigh and her fiancé Jace. Bayleigh just graduated from high school and is now living with her boyfriend. She just found out she is pregnant and is in the midst of planning a wedding. There is so much stress in her life but with the help of her family and friends she gets through it.
The one thing I didn't like about this book was that it left me hanging at the end. But I would recommend this book to people that have read the other books. I would also recommend this to girl above the age of 11.

Aww

I am so ok glad that they were finally able to get married, I think what Jace does for the wedding is amazing and so sweet. I don't know why Bailey can't just be happy and that she is always thinking such horrible things, but at least they end up happily married and pregnant with a lil boy. Wish we got to read an epilogue to see the baby. Hope it continues in Beccas series

[Amber Britten · Rating 5 out of 5]

Must read

I love this on more than the other 4.. it's definitely a must read wish there book wasn't over. Can't wait to read becca.

[Haylee Rodriguez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Speechless

I love the way jace surprised bay at the wedding venue and how they found out the baby's sex I wish it didn't have to end.

[Phi · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this book they both realise that it doesn't matter what life throws at them because as long as they face it together everything will turn out perfectly.

Bayleigh is really getting on my nerves... Her insecurities are too much most of the time. It is making it hard to enjoy the books. She is just so immature.

[Sarah Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an okay story, Bayleigh still needs to get over her jealously issues though.

[Aleah · Rating 2 out of 5]

sometimes I was mad at bayleigh but I love the end. it made me smile so much!
