Forever My Girl Heidi McLaughlin
Add to Goodreads Buy: Nook/Kindle I was never supposed to be a rock star. I had my life all planned out for me. Play football in college. Go to the NFL. Marry my high school sweetheart and live happily ever after. I broke both our hearts that day when I told her I was leaving. I was young. I made the right decision for me, but the wrong decision for us. I’ve poured my soul into my music, but I’ve never forgotten her. Her smell, her smile.
And now I’m going back.
After ten years.
After ten years.
I hope I can explain that after all this time.
I still want her to be my forever girl.

Kim's Review:
I know she hates me. I hate me. I ruined her life.
Never
found one second to call and explain to her what I had done to us. She
was my best friend and I let her slip through my fingers just to save
myself from the heartache of hearing she didn't want me anymore. I had dreams too. And my dreams included her, but she would never have gone for it. I'm not living her American Dream. I'm living my own. My decision destroyed everything.
This
is a sweet story about the one you left behind, second chances, life
changing surprises, making your own choices, and following your heart.
Liam
and Josie were high school sweethearts and planned to be together
forever. They were inseparable from their friends Mason and Katelyn. But
one decision and subsequent communication issues changed it all. He is
now a rich and famous rock star, but empty.
This is me coping with my mistakes and failures. I may be successful when I'm on stage, but at night I'm alone. And so freaking scared of dying alone.
Ten
years later, he is going back home to Beaumont to bury his best friend,
Mason. He has to come face to face with the girl he loved and left. And
face Mason's death and be there for his friend's family.
You
can feel the love between Liam and Josie even when they know they
should keep their distance. They cannot just start again where they left
off. But they cannot ignore their feelings either. Their gradual
reconnection and slow merging of their lives was heartwarming.
I
watched for you and once I saw you, I knew I was going to end up
chasing my girl, waiting for you to run around and see...the real me and
love me for who I am and not what I did to you. I'm standing in front of you, Josie.
You just have to turn around."
You just have to turn around."
"I love you, JoJo. You're forever my girl."
I
loved how devoted Liam was and how patient he was. Josie was strong and
loving, cautious but not completely closed off. I really liked Katelyn,
the kids, and his band mates. I was smiling when I put the book down
and enjoyed this debut novel. I am looking forward to book 2 and more from Katelyn and Harrison
