Review of Forever Never by Lucy Score
When I first stumbled upon Forever Never, I couldn’t resist: a frenemies-to-lovers tale woven with suspense and sizzling chemistry? Count me in! Lucy Score, known for her captivating storytelling and relatable characters, promised all this and more—and she didn’t disappoint. As I turned the pages, I felt that familiar thrill of diving into a romantic whirlwind with the potential for both heartwarming moments and nail-biting tension.
The story centers on Brick Callan, a man whose presence is as solid as his name suggests, and Remi Ford, the free-spirited artist who has been entangled in his life since high school. This connection, layered with past heartbreak and unresolved feelings, sets the stage for a slow-burn romance that is electrifying. Remi returns to Mackinac Island in the midst of winter, bringing with her secrets that penetrate the heart of their already complicated history. What I loved most about their dynamic was how Score captured the complexities of love—navigating the boundaries of friendship and attraction feels all too relatable.
Score’s writing style is engaging and conversational, making it easy to feel at home in her world. She seamlessly blends humor and poignant moments, creating a narrative that flows beautifully—albeit with a few pacing hiccups in the beginning. The island setting, especially in winter, is mesmerizing, and I could almost feel the chill in my bones while reading. The vivid descriptions really transport you there, making the stakes higher not just for the characters but for the readers as well.
One highlight from the book that stuck with me is a moment when Brick reflects on how the shadows in Remi’s eyes mirror the cracks in his own heart—a perfect metaphor that illustrates the depth of their characters. It’s these moments of introspection coupled with playful banter that made me lean in closer to the pages.
I also appreciated how secondary characters added richness to the story without overshadowing Brick and Remi. Their interactions with family and friends offer laughter, conflict, and ultimately a sense of belonging that feels so well-crafted.
For those who adore a good mix of steamy romance and suspense, Forever Never is an exhilarating ride full of emotional depth. While some might find the pacing uneven, the payoff in character development and plot twists kept me hooked. This book is perfect for readers who enjoy romance laced with humor, some heady suspense, and characters you just can’t help but root for.
Lucy Score has a knack for creating immersive worlds filled with complex emotions and compelling stories, and Forever Never is a testament to her talent. Whether you’re already a fan or a newcomer, I promise this book will have you laughing, gasping, and ultimately believing in the sweet yet complicated notion of forever.
So grab your cup of tea, snuggle in, and get ready to fall into the enchanting chaos of Mackinac Island—Brick and Remi are waiting!
