Summary
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Elsie Porter is an average twentysomething and yet what happens to her is anything but ordinary. On a rainy New Year's Day, she heads out to pick up a pizza for one. She isn't expecting to see anyone else in the shop, much less the adorable and charming Ben Ross. Their chemistry is instant and electric. Ben cannot even wait twenty-four hours before asking to see her again. Within weeks, the two are head over heels in love. By May, they've eloped.
Only nine days later, Ben is out riding his bike when he is hit by a truck and killed on impact. Elsie hears the sirens outside her apartment, but by the time she gets downstairs, he has already been whisked off to the emergency room. At the hospital, she must face Susan, the mother-in-law she has never met-and who doesn't even know Elsie exists.
Interweaving Elsie and Ben's charmed romance with Elsie and Susan's healing process, Forever, Interrupted will remind you that there's more than one way to find a happy ending.

Easy Listen
Not the best TJR book but still enjoyed nonetheless. An easy listen. The narrator is good, though sometimes struggled to differentiate between Susan and Elsie.

Wonderful book
So powerful. A fascinating exploration of grief. I especially love the focus upon Elsie's developing relationship with Susan.

A really enjoyable read
This is the third book I have read by TJR. It’s really worth a read. The past, and the present are beautifully interwoven and the topics of grief and hope are very intelligently discussed. I really enjoyed the relationship between mother and mother-in-law.

Her subsequent books are so much better
I didn’t realise this was her first novel until the “talk” at the end which explains so much. It’s OK but very disappointing if you are coming to this book last as I did!

I wanted to love it but it fell flat
I really wanted to love this book given the others I’ve read but I didn’t, the story felt a bit soulless to me.
I found the peripheral relationships more interesting.
It was difficult to finish it then the last 20 minutes were my favourite so all in all mixed. Maybe it wasn’t my cup of tea.

Good but not amazing
Sadly one of my least favourite TJR books which sucks because I normally love all of her books it just didn’t grab me

Tissues at the ready
Do not do what I did!!
I did not read the blurb (Book club choice,)
I was beyond exhausted, hormonal and on a 135 mile drive at 7:00 in the morning when I started listening to this book .
By the time I was on the motorway, only 5 mins from the house, I could not see for the tears rolling down my face.I couldn't stop listening though, oh no, I had to hear more. I did end up pulling in to a service station and switching books for the rest of the journey.
I carried on listening when I got home and loved this book
