The books we most enjoy, those where we cannot wait to turn the page, are filled with twists and turns we never anticipate. That's why we read - for the unexpected moments that make us gasp with surprise or laugh or cry. We love following engaging characters down their rocky road to happiness, and we love our happy endings. But what is a happy ending? Is it love conquers all? Is it boy wins girl? Or, is it sometimes bittersweet? Forever is Today does indeed have a happy ending, but it's not the one you expect. Like life, this story is complicated, heartbreaking, joyous- while touching on the iconic hero's journey that we recognize in both literature and life. In this emotional roller-coaster of a book, you follow richly drawn and true-to-life characters, and you cannot help but feel their joy and pain, their loss and love. The story of Joel and Bea will live in your heart forever.
