A Lot Like Forever by Jennifer Snow
3.0

This is a book that I had so many hopes on and I really wanted so much from this one here. But I will be honest in that I came out of this story highly disappointed. The major plot of the story is that its based off of a lie and I really hated that. I struggle with heroines as it is but the way she deceived her fiancee all the way through the book and then hardly did a grovel and put all the blame on him and refusing to take accountability really drove me bananas. Now I swept through this audiobook, so it was highly engaging and I just wanted these two to reach their HEA. But you basically have the heroine who has a chronic illness and lies to everyone and the one person she should be honest with is her fiancee of seven years. And then when the truth comes out, she acts all hurt and blames him for being in shock and really it wasn't the illness it was more that she deceived him for over a year. And she hardly did any grovel. When it comes to groveling, it doesn't matter if you are a hero or the heroine, if you wrong the other, there needs to be a decent sincere grovel and there was none of that in this one. So as much as I wanted to love it, I just couldn't due to the heroine's actions. However, I will say that the rest of the story other than the heroine was AMAZING! There was such cozy Fall vibes so if you are looking for a great Autumn feel, I do recommend it. It was so atmospheric and really got me more into the mood for the Autumn season. Now I do plan on reading more of this author but this one I really struggled with.
