Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC of this book.

While I thought the writing in this book was excellent, I had trouble with all the secrets and lies between a couple who was engaged and together for seven years. That just didn't ring true to me, and I had trouble connecting to Whitney, the heroine. I did enjoy the supporting characters quite a bit, and the description of the small town was especially well done.

I need to read the first two books in the series.
Note that these are standalone books, I just prefer to read books in order.

A Lot Like Forever is an enchanting romance novel. And exactly what I hope for in a romance novel.
The writing is tender and sweet. The characters are kind, tentative, and supportive. 
It hits all the notes that any romance reader will want to see.
The story was fun, heart-warming and deeply gratifying.
A delightful romance with inviting characters and an endearing storyline worthy of the top shelf in your TBR cart.

Entangled: Amara,
Thank You for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!
I will post my review to my platforms, blog, B&N and Waterstone closer to pub date.

Fundamentally, there was nothing wrong with this book, and I’ve enjoyed this author’s previous books, but this is not my kind of story and I wouldn’t consider this book a romance. The whole thing centred on a couple being pulled apart rather than together with a happily ever after, and the secrets/non-communication between a couple that’d been together for seven years was ridiculous.

2.5 stars

A LOT LIKE FOREVER is book number three in Jennifer Snows Blue Moon Bay. Each of these books have shared some amazing characters. They all easily stand-alone but following these characters and their stories has been a joy to read and review.
A LOT LIKE FOREVER is a wonderful love story that has an element of bittersweet built into it. Nothing in life is certain and the one thing we can all agree on is to take advantage of the good things and try hard to minimize the bad. Whitney has a lot to be happy about. Her career at event planning for the mayor of Harbor Bay lets her flex her creative muscle. She is surrounded by terrifically supportive friends. She is in love with the most perfect guy, Trent, who shows her daily how much she means to him. But into this terrific life some rain must fall. And for Whitney the grey clouds are beginning to overtake the sunny days.
Whitney’s mom suffers from Alzheimer and her condition is at best discouraging. Whitney has been working hard to be able to finance her mothers stay at a wonderful facility.
Second to that, but only because it is more current, is Whitney’s health issues. She has been suffering some scary moments of her own. Suffering in silence and alone. She hasn’t shared her worries with anyone.
And that is the central issue in A LOT LIKE FOREVER. It is good to be strong, resilient, independent. But at some point, you need to realize the power and strength derived from those closest to you. Instead of taking advantage of the abounding care of her friends and especially Trent, Whitney is determined to go it alone. Whitney even goes so far as to purposely exclude these folk by shutting some important doors.
A LOT LIKE FOREVER is a voyage from sickness to health, from alone to support, from happiness to sadness and then dare we hope for the reentry of happy times. A LOT LIKE FOREVER is a perfect illustration that nothing in life is guaranteed, so you should take advantage and live each day to it’s fullest. And that truly includes surrounding yourself with those you love and who love you. Jennifer Snow once again outdoes herself with creating such real and vulnerable characters who will make you laugh and cry. Jennifer Snow makes the reader part of the story. We all feel right along with these folk and at the end can only hope for the best. It may not be perfect – but then again, it’s life. Each book in this series tells a remarkable tale about characters following their heart.

I received an ARC of, A Lot Like Forever, by Jennifer Snow. I did not care for this book at all. Too many secrets and lies, to be a love story.

I really liked this book and now will have to go back and read the others, I really feel like i connected with Whitney ,always having everything under control or appearing to , I really feel t his could be made into a hallmark movie.
