Her friends tease her for being uptight, but she's waiting for the one. Now she's found him, but is he forever - or is Sarah just his summer fling?
My thoughts:
I borrowed this book from my local library.
~Storyline~
The storyline is about a summer fling between two people, but one person doesn't want anything serious. It contains romance, friendship and betrayal. I thought the storyline was OK. I didn't enjoy it, but I didn't exactly hate it.
~Cover~
The front cover gives off a very romantic vibe. The two people are very intimate, and the title is clear because of the very bright font.
~Synopsis~
When reading the synopsis I wanted to know more about this summer fling, and the guy involved.
~Characters~
Sarah - The main protagonist, and I found her to be the most annoying of all. She was so whiney and pathetic that I wanted to jump into the book and wrap my hands around her neck, or slap her. She "fell in love" with Joe way too quickly.
Ashley, Donna - Sarah's friends, and they really care about Sarah. I liked them both.
Joe - What an absolute sleazeball. I hated him so much.
Mimi - Bitch. She needed a slap too.
Ollie & Jack - Great guy mates.
~Structure~
The chapters are a decent length and it's written in first person. I just wish Sarah wasn't such an annoying person to be telling the story.
~Writing~
The writing style is easy to understand and clear.
~Title relevance~
"No Such Thing as Forever" meaning: nothing lasts forever. Romances don't all last. Forever is a long time. It was a good title relevance.
~Beginning~
The beginning of the book was really good. I was introduced to all the characters, and the summer fling between Joe and Sarah was described to me. Like how they met, etc.
~Ending~
The ending had me curious. Will something happen between a certain two characters?
~Rating & overall thoughts~
Overall it was an OK read. I found myself trying to finish the book as fast as I could because the main character annoyed me so much. I gave it three stars.
~Recommend?~
If you like reading summer fling romances, then give this a try. I hope you can learn to deal with Sarah though!
