U “Zauvijek na čekanju” pratimo Elsie koja se, nakon što se zaljubi u Bena i ubrzo uda, suočava s iznenadnom tragedijom njegove smrti, što je dovodi do emocionalnog sloma i nepredviđenih odnosa s njegovom obitelji.
“Zauvijek na čekanju” je vrlo emotivna knjiga sa predivnom ljubavnom pričom. Ljubavnom pričom koja je toliko intenzivna da vas u sekundi ponese i ubaci u svijet Taylor Jenkins Reid. Ljubavnom pričom koja je kako autorica i sama kaže kao supernova (obožavam ovu usporedbu).
Govori o iznenadnom pronalasku ljubavi kada to najmanje očekujemo, o gubitku, o oporavku, o obitelji, onoj pravoj i onoj pronađenoj i prijateljima. Čita se sa knedlom u grlu i očima punim suza.
Mene je “Zauvijek na čekanju” neodoljivo podsjetila na “Jedan dan” od Davida Nichollsa, jednu od meni najdražih knjiga, ali nije ju nadmašila. Svidjela mi se, ali nije me oduševila. Središnji dio romana bio je nešto sporiji, što je donekle utjecalo na moj ukupni dojam. Ipak, autorica je ponovno dokazala svoju sposobnost da kod čitatelja izazove širok spektar emocija, što će mi iz ovog romana dugo ostati u sjećanju.
Uskoro nas očekuje i serija na Netflixu pa požurite do knjižara i knjižnica jer je moja preporuka uvijek pročitati prije gledanja 😊

Forever, Interrupted – T.J.Reid
In “Forever, Interrupted” we follow Elsie who, after falling in love with Ben and marrying him soon after, faces the sudden tragedy of his death, which leads her to an emotional breakdown and unforeseen relationships with his family.
“Forever, Interrupted” is a very emotional book with a beautiful love story. A love story that is so intense that it takes you away and throws you into the world of Taylor Jenkins Reid in a second. A love story that, as the author herself says, is like a supernova (I love this comparison).
It talks about suddenly finding love when we least expect it, about loss, about recovery, about family, the real one and the one we find, and about friends. It is read with a lump in a throat and eyes full of tears.
“Forever, Interrupted” irresistibly reminded me of “One Day” by David Nicholls, one of my favourite books, but it did not surpass it. I liked it, but it did not blow me away. The middle part of the novel was a bit slower, which somewhat affected my overall impression. However, the author once again proved her ability to evoke a wide range of emotions in the reader, which will remain in my memory for a long time.
The series is also coming to Netflix soon, so hurry to bookstores and libraries because my recommendation is always to read the book before watching 😊
