About this listen

 From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

"Touching and powerful...Reid masterfully grabs hold of the heartstrings and doesn't let go. A stunning first novel." Publishers Weekly

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.

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

Wonderful book

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.

A really enjoyable read

I tend to like everything this author writes, to varying degrees. This isn’t her strongest but equally, is still well worth your time. (The interview with the narrator tells us it’s her first book and my respect for her talent multiplied even more!!)

It could have been schmaltzy, corny and very cheesy, and some elements of it are, but overall it’s a very accurate and mature account of grief. Not only about a newlywed wife who loses her husband, but a mother who lost her child. The unique relationship between a grieving wife and grieving mother is deftly handled and really lovely to experience.

Ultimately a sad story but leaves you feeling uplifted!

A touching, sweet and easy story to absorb

I expected to love this as I loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I just really didn’t gel with the main characters, especially the couple.
An easy read for the most part but not a fulfilling one.

A beautifully written book

I enjoyed the story. This was a book club choice, so it's not really something I would ordinarily read.

Not 100% sure about Elsie.
The narration was great, though.

Considering the subject matter the story could have been maudlin but wasn't! I found it a riveting read made better by the excellent narrator.

Sensitive subject

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.
