Review:Synopsis:
A city girl.A small town boy.A summer they'll never forget.Spending the summer at her Grammy's in Lilac Bay, Devon, is city girl Alexis 'Lexy' Edwards idea of hell. That is, until she reconnects with her childhood friend, Jen, and meets Alec Johnson.Alec is the kind of guy Lexy knows she needs to stay away from. He's the village flirt, ridiculously hot and very dangerous to her self control. But there's a problem – she can't seem to keep him out, even though she knows he'll break her heart.As Alec slowly strips away Lexy's defences and the two embark on a summer romance she never wanted, their feelings grow to more than either expected. But nothing lasts forever, and reality intrudes.As her world is shaken to it's core, Lexy's self made prediction comes true when she discovers she's spent six weeks surrounded by secrets. Kept out by her family and the only guy she's ever trusted, she falls apart.And when Grammy tells her that 'you might not end up where you wanted to be, but you'll always end up where you're meant to be,' she has to figure out if her meant to be is back home in London, or if it's been in Devon the whole time.
Never Forget is the typical summer love story that had me yearning for Spring and Summer break. Lexy is the city girl that does not want to spend her summer in the little town of Devon, and she absolutely refuses to fall in love. Alec is the small town bad boy. He is known for his man-whore-ish ways, but all that changes when Grammy decides to play matchmaker.
Alec is definitely my new book boyfriend of the week. He works so hard to earn Lexy's trust to try to make up for his reputation. He doesn't give up on her no matter how much she pushes the idea of them together away.
Lexy is stubborn. She easily gets use to the idea of being in Devon for her whole summer especially since she is reconnecting with her childhood friend. She doesn't as easily come to the idea of summer love actually she is very much against it. In the book, she finds herself and realizes how much she is like her Grammy. Her struggle is letting go.
Grammy is hilarious. She is obviously one of those kinds of grandmothers that would set her grandmother up. She really just wants Lexy to experience the kind of love that she had and it's really sweet. Her humor had me laughing out loud throughout the book. I loved her!
I love the meaning of the title in the book. For awhile I was wondering why Emma chose to title it Never Forget and once it came to that part in the story you find it's perfect.
Overall I think this book was a fun read especially as we yearn for the warm weather!

Your review of the story warmed my heart on this chilly day. Looks like I need to get this book :-)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the characters were very well done and that's a huge deal to me when I'm reading a book for me to really enjoy it.
