Book review: Chasing forever by kelly jensen








Title : Chasing Forever
Author: kelly Jensen
Length: 333
Language: English
Genre: Fiction/ romance


Summary:
Old wounds, new directions, and a forever worth chasing.
Malcolm Montgomery was a history teacher and track coach until an accident left him with two broken legs. He’ll recover, but life has knocked his feet out twice now. He’s not sure if he’s ready to try again, especially when it comes to love—and slick guys like Brian Kenway. Still, he needs help mentoring the school’s LGBTQ society, so he asks Brian to take some responsibility.
Brian has been hiding behind his reputation as a liar and a cheat for so long that he actually believes he’s that guy—until his nephew, Josh, turns up on his couch, tossed out for being gay. Brian has never considered being a father, but he knows all about being rejected by loved ones. Now Brian wants to be more: a partner for Mal and a role model for Josh.
But when Mal’s recovery is set back and the sad truth of Brian’s past is revealed, the forever they’ve been chasing seems even further from their grasps. It’ll take a rescue effort to revive their sense of worth and make Brian, Mal, and Josh into a family of their own.

Overview/ My Opinion:

 I had a really good time reading this book, the storyline was beautiful and unique, the narration was good and it keeps the reader engaged in reading this book.  The writing style was good, the language used was easy going and lucid.  The cover and the title are appropriately chosen. The blurb itself was quite intriguing & captivating.
The character development also was done quite well. I liked how various issues have been described & discussed  in the book.
 The only part wherein this book disappointed me a bit was when it took a slow pace in the between.
Overall, this was a very interesting and a good read. Definitely recommended.

My Rating: 4/5

OVERVIEW/ MY OPINION :

 I had the most wonderful time reading this book. The best part about it that it kept me gripped till the end, the language used was easy going and lucid, the writing style was very good and it keeps the reader engaged in reading it. The narration too was done quite well. The title is chosen appropriately, while the cover required minor improvements.

The character backgrounds and development was done really very well, sufficient information was provided about them, keeping in mind not to overdo it. I could connect with all the characters very well, especially with Amaya. I admire the characters of Rehan & Agastya .

Alongside, the story travels many places which makes it a really good read. Definitely not forgetting the way friendships , Family Relationships and emotions are described in this book, the authors job in this part as a whole is commendable.  In fact its difficult to believe that its her debut novel.

 I loved that every page had some different secret that was unveiled as the story goes on.
The plot was fresh and strong enough.  I liked how the psychological concept of SURVIVORS GUILT is  described in this book.

 The part that sent shivers down my spine was definitely the climax , it was so unexpected & gave the story a whole new outlook! A bit more information about the afterlife of Amaya's family would really be appreciated.


Overall, this was an excellent , captivating, fast paced yet powerful  and an engaging Romantic Thriller.

Definitely recommended!(Even if you're a beginner)
