Seventeen-year-old
Ever’s love life has been on hold for the past two years. She’s secretly in
love with her best friend Frankie, and he’s completely oblivious. Of course, it
doesn’t help that he’s dead, and waking up to his ghost every day has made moving
on nearly impossible.
Frustrated and
desperate for something real, Ever finds herself falling for her hot new
neighbor Toby. His relaxed confidence is irresistible, and not just Ever knows
it. But falling for Toby comes with a price that throws Ever’s life into a
whirlwind of chaos and drama. More than hearts are on the line, and more than
Ever will suffer.
Some girls lose their
hearts to love.
Some girls lose their
minds.
Ever Van Ruysdael
could lose her soul.
My Summary:
Ever Van Ruysdael (EVER) is your typical teenager except
she has a ghost in her house. Her best
friend and the secret love of her life died but his spirit remained with her. Somehow the bond they had before he died was
so strong that it’s magically keeping them together.
Frankie has been her friend forever and he has no clue Ever
is in love with him. The friendship they
have is refreshing. Frankie is a funny guy and cares about his friend and her
family.
Everything between them has now become a routine even thought
is far from normal. One day Ever notices
someone has moved across from her house.
Intrigued by the new neighbor she finds Toby.
Toby fits the description of totally hot and dangerous but
somehow makes Ever feel at ease. Whatever
started as a friendship has now flourished into a full blown
rollercoaster. Toby has a secret and
Ever is in for the ride of her life.
Frankie tries to warn her but will it be to late…
My Thoughts:
As soon as I hit that first page I was hooked. Ever is a refreshing tale of love, friendship
and loyalty. Ever is an example of self
righteousness. It was amazing to meet
an insecure teenager blossom into a fiery young woman.
I am sure that will see a bit more of her fire in the next
installment and cannot wait to read what will happen next.
It was hard not to fall for Frankie and Toby. Frankie was the all American boy next door,
with his quirky sense of humor and humbleness but Oh.Dear.God! Do we get a
glimpse of the fire in him? Toby was
also red hot searing fire all the time but he has a hidden sweet side that we
get to see towards the end.
These
boys are both swoon worthy and I hope to read more on them. These are the images I pictured while reading
the book
