Forever & Always (The Ever Trilogy: Book 1)

This book (and Series) is amazing - It - as Jasinda's Falling Into You series mesmerizes - it puts you straight into the hearts of these people - and you can't let go. Ever and Caden are captivating - their thoughts could be your thoughts - and they are working to survive in this world - kindred spirits that find each other and provide a miracle that few ever find - but oh the bumps along the road! Be prepared to set aside a few days to read all three in quick succession - because once you start there is no stopping.

This love story was simply great! I loved how Caden and Ever meet and slowly fall in love, making the reader fall in love as well. Caden is such an amazing guy and it's so hard to not cry when he does for all he goes thru. And finally when he sees ever again it's just so hot and romantic. I do feel the sex, -parts got repetitive and boring, I wanted to learn what else would come. And the end las very predictable so that was disappointing but still good. Might pick up the rest of the series soon.

I loved this book, however knowing there were two more in the series I went to read the book descriptions on them and was upset to see that they didn't give much info. I knew there would be twists and turns in the following books considering in book one Ever and Caden had finally come together and were happy. I'm so glad I read the reviews! While I love this authors writing in book 1 I absolutely can't take stories based on cheaters. And it sounds as if book two is all about cheating. And by her twin sister no less!! Then a pregnancy results?! No thank you. All set. Just not my kind of book.

I am sobbing after reading this heart-wrenching, heart-warming, and heart-breaking story. I have read many other books by Jasinda and have loved them all. This book was no different it was not the usually coming if age story, but a tragically sad story of two young teenagers forging a path thru life together, but not quite. I cannot wait to finish this series. If you are looking for a sappy romance with a HEA, this book is not it, but I recommend this book none the less. Awesome book and story Jasinda, I cannot wait to see where you take us on the rest of Caden and Ever's journey.

So there have only been two books that ive started to read and stopped, and this was a close third. I was just about to erase it from my kindle and find something new, but I was too tired to start looking so just kept reading. Well .. before I knew it, it was 4am and I was almost done with book 2 in this trilogy. Wow. Amazing. Very slow to start but boy, did it grip me towards the end and now I'm on book 3 and I know I'll have a bad book hangover when I'm done, this story keeps kitting better. Definitely worth the read, highly recommend.

Wow! This book just skimmed the surface of all the emotions you will feel during the entire series.
I immediately fell in love with the characters, the setting and the story line immediately.

Jasinda's talent for pulling you into a story and not letting you out is intense. I didn't clean or cook (well, almost) until this book was done. 1/2 way through I bought book 2, knowing I'd HAVE to know what happens. But if you don't do the same, you will turn the last page of FOREVER & ALWAYS and...ONE-CLICKING won't be fast enough to find out what happens next!

This book was an extremely emotional journey and at times I wanted to stop the good thing is it leads to an amazing and absolutely beautiful ónce in a lifetime' union BUT the SECOND book is pure HELL and Jasinda has totally ruin this beautiful story. The second book WILL GUT YOU!!! I Hate it. Jasinda you are talented but this was PURE FAILURE and I'm left very bereft... You ruin this beautiful story, I'm so hurt. Tust me people give it a miss.

Wow! As the young people say, "All the feels." From the innocence of young love to the heartache of lost loved ones to the steaminess of raw passion to the vulnerability of facing an uncertain future, this book has it all. I am fascinated to see what the other two books in the trilogy contain.

I personally didn't think this was Wilder's best, and I've followed her book. I love her books! Her characters are very relate-able and she does a great job of humanizing them. I just wasn't drawn into this story like I've been with her others. It's still written well, but the characters just weren't very compelling for me. I would still recommend it because I love her work, but it wouldn't be the first think of her's I'd recommend a person read.

WOW !!! I have never read anything like this !! Every chapter was filled with hope and expectation with these two young people. I am waiting to read the next book anxiously. I loved every chapter. Get ready for some sex and a real love story.

Ms. Wilder has a knack with emotionally charged stories. From pen pals to lovers to forever & always.
The imagery written throughout the books makes it all seem too real and the chest pain one feels while reading is real. How can such young people go through so much pain and loss? It's unimaginable. The end of the story is heartbreaking. The love scenes are just that two people being and falling in love. Their bond in indestructible and I hope the next books proves it or was Ever's first painting to Caden a foreshadow into their future?

Omg cade cannot catch a break everything around him falls to shit. He is really a sweet guy and I would love to have felt that soul attaching thing he felt with ever. But it's like once everything was going good for them you kind of knew it was too good to be true... hope everything works out for them and things can start looking up for him and not be so down... hopefully he sticks by her side to bring her back and hopefully Eden doesn't come in the way to try and comfort caden..

Well written, great storyline, quite a love story. I enjoyed this book, but I will be so very sorry if Ever dies. Aiden's music is MY music, thanks for including that, what a nice touch. I listened to the other music to see if I recognized the songs but no I didn't, lol but hey, they widdened my horizon, good job all around and now for book 2 ...

Caden & Ever. An exquisite romance. A fairytale. A love story with no boundaries. A ever lasting love story.
Being both gifted with drawing, paintings and canvas, they both went to an art camp where they met for the first time and where there love began. After being pen friend for more than 5 years, They found each other again and let their emotions take control.

The first book in the serious was dark but Hopeful with well-developed characters. However the pace was a bit drawn out with some of the same theme gone through over and over again when they should just been moved on from it almost made it feel like she was trying to fill the book. All in all I really enjoyed the depiction of how people can be connected in many different ways and sometimes people who you feel are not very important at all can become the most important people in your life. I would definitely recommend the first book.

3.75 this book was almost like a couple different books in one. i loved the beginning, how Caden and Ever met, how they stayed in touch over the years. I hurt for Caden and all the heartache he had to go through. And i was so happy when they finally realized that they needed to give each other a chance. But this boy just cant catch a break.

I had never read anything by Jasinda WIlder but after reading the reviews for Forever & Always I knew I had to read it. I fell in love with Cade and Ever. I felt their joy but even more I felt their pain. Once you start this book you will not be able to put it down. It is a riveting love story. I have already ordered the next two books in this trilogy as I can't wait to find out what is next.

This book was free on the store in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely love Jasinda's writing style. She seems to be writing from a knowing point of view. I certainly hope she hasn't experienced the extreme pain that she writes about. Cade has gone through much more pain and trauma than anyone should ever have to, especially at such a young age. Can't wait to start the next book in the series, where I hope to see a major improvement in his life.

From the moment I started reading this novel, I was hooked. Read the first installment Wednesday, the second installment yesterday, and stopping myself from reading the third until my book club meets April 26th. Would have loved to been on a beach with this book in my hands reading until the sun set. Beautiful story of pure love. Very easy reading and Jasinda's art of making the characters come alive is incredible! So many emotions ran through me while reading this book. BEAUTIFUL!

Although I liked this book and will read the other books in the trilogy, it was just not one of my favorites. The book was well written and tugged at the heart strings. It was so difficult to travel a journey with a character and be with them as they suffered through so much heartache and dispair just to see it come again and again. To be fair though, I would compare all of Jasinda's works to the Falling series, and for me it would be really hard to top that series.

Wow my emotions are once again all over the place - it seems to happen every time I read a Jasinda Wilder book. She is such an amazing writer - you feel everything the characters feel. I'm disappointed by other's reviews of this trilogy - not everything in life is kittens and fairy tales - Jasinda makes you think and feel her characters emotions even the difficult ones. I love her writing and I will read anything and everything she writes.

I really loved this book. I felt so many emotions while reading it. There is so much loss and pain that you cant help but feel for Cade. I didn't like how it ended though, that was just too tragic. I will read the next book because, well I just have to know what happens with these characters.

This book was a very sweet romance that I enjoyed until about the 75% mark on my Kindle when it turned into a very adult book (and not a very good one, at that). And the end...well...predictable. Not interested enough to read the next.

This is such a great story that caught my attention from the beginning. It is so easy to feel the chemistry between Ever and Cade. This is one of the best series I've ever read because it's different and so emotional. I've never wanted to hug someone as bad as I do Cade; he has suffered so much and barely hangs on to his strength. Jasinda Wilder is one of my new favorite artists!

I enjoyed the story, but comparing it to Falling into you, it fell short of what I expected from the storyline. It was a nice story, with some great lines- which inspired some great mental images (poetic and beautiful in some places), but it felt incomplete, even before the cliffhanger ending-- and having read the reviews on the 2nd and 3rd books- I'll stop here.

Wow. Just finished this book and it is absolute torture to wait to read the next one. This story is hot, beautiful, sorrowful and haunting. Wilder is so sharp at crafting characters that refuse to let you go about your day without sneaking back to visit again.
The story of Cade and Ever is real and raw and totally dreamy. Jasinda Wilder at her best, yet again!!!!

This story about Caden and Ever just killed me. Pen pals at 14 & 15 turns into a soul searching mission between friends that turns into a whole lot more. Tragedy and loss, living your life as best you can... sharing that with someone you met at summer camp by being pen pals turns into a heart wrenching story that I could not put down. Jasinda made me love and hate her all at once, she did her job very, very well. This is a must read!

Ever and Caden take you through their journey of love. Over five years a love is built that is strong and lives on. Both Ever and Caden lose so much in this story, but their love stood strong.
Reader be warned, there is a huge cliffhanger at the end.

how can I describe this book? beautiful. heartbreaking. full of more emotions than any book I've ever read. how much tragedy can any person handle at such a young age. can a love as strong and beautiful and passionate as Cade and Ever's persevere possibly the worst tragedy they are enduring now? I can't wait to read the second book

Love it! I have enjoyed reading this book, To start so young and keep that bond. I have to remind myself this is just a book, but you make it feel as if it is real life. I have already purchased the 2nd so I do not have to wait!! It is a good thing!! My heart strings are being pulled in so many directions. It is a must read!!

Holy wow!!!!! what an amazing story, getting ready to read the second one, this book had me bawling like a baby at the end :( God I hope against all hope.. want to know what I'm holding for? you ha e to read it to find out if I tell you what would be the point in reading this truly amazing heart wrenching story?

This book shredded me. I cannot begin to say how much my heart hurt for all of his loss. I am. It sure where this is leading with the ending of this book, but I am cringing because of the jealousy between Ever and her sister.

I absolutely loved this beautifully written but at times extremely sad love story!! What an amazing story of first times, young love, death, crying, love, joy and just so many other emotions to go along on this amazing journey of two kids and their life adventure to adulthood. I loved the book and and am excited to see where the next one takes me!!

This is an extremely emotional read not for the faint of heart. I have read lots of books but I believe this story is the most angst filled one so far. I love all the characters and have felt the struggles of both the hero and heroine. Good read but make sure you have tissues on hand.

Just to imagine going through a tragic loss is difficult but the way this book is written it makes you live through it. Amazing is all I can say!!! Well written and I added narration which was totally incredible!!! I loved the narrator's voices!!! Yep more than one!!!! Ahhh next!!!!

There are not enough words to describe how this book moved me! This is one of the best written books to date by Jasinda Wilder!!! I fell in love with Caden and Ever from page one! The joy they felt when they found each other is amazing and the heartache they felt...well you just have to read it for yourself! Thank you so much for your work Jasinda!!!
