Overview

What would you do if your first love suddenly walked back into your life? This is a question Alexa Moore finds herself asking the moment she comes face to face with her childhood sweetheart, nearly fifteen years after his mysterious disappearance.

In this coming of age novel, it is the summer of 1992. Carter Storm is a precocious thirteen-year-old child actor awaiting his big break in the entertainment industry. Alexa Moore is just a regular teenager, seeking acceptance from her peers. With heartbreak and humor, these two friends expose a world of secrets and learn to survive in the face of life’s contradictions and tragedies. When Carter’s dark life suddenly unveils before Alexa’s eyes, she witnesses her best friend beaten down mercilessly by his stage mother’s antics, but Alexa’s strong will and determination helps Carter pull through his darkest hours. The two are bonded by a love that only deepens as they grow. However, Carter’s mother will do everything she can to keep them apart, so that her prodigy is not distracted. As a result, the two are forced to keep their childhood romance hidden from prying eyes. When Alex discovers Carter’s family packed up and gone without so much as a chance for goodbyes, her world shatters.
Over a decade later, Carter Storm resurfaces as a Grammy award winner, with a new name, a new life, and an entourage of screaming girls and paparazzi following him everywhere he goes. When Alexa randomly comes face to face with Carter Storm, the encounter sets off a string of events that will have her torn between the man she loves and the man she once loved. How far will she go when the man from her past suddenly walks into her future?

    Superb Debut

    Forever Blue is a superb debut Romance/Contemporary novel. In the beginning, your attention is very quickly grabbed and draws you into the story without any hesitation, and once you begin reading, you’ll have trouble putting this book down until you have reached the very last page. This is another favorite being added to my list. Throughout the book, Alexa is a character that many can relate to, and even the other character’s as well, but there was more insight into her world, and quite often I found myself feeling more for Alexa and what she was going through. There were even times when I found myself agreeing with Alexa, like in a part of the book when Scott starts calling her ‘kid’. I enjoyed the writing style and reading in main character’s POV, but also getting a glimpse into Carter’s world while being away for so many years up until they finally meet again. This book has a terrific balance of romance, humor, and realistic events that others can relate to, and it’s great read. I will be recommending this book to those who love this type of genre, and suggest that people purchase the conclusion: Forever Blue: New Tears to Cry, Old Songs to Sing as well because you’ll be left with a cliffhanger by the end of Forever Blue! I will be purchasing the conclusion as soon as I possibly can, and look forward to reading more of Jennifer Edlund’s novels.

    Great Debut

    Maybe I felt this book is closer to me than others, because I know how it feels to have my first love come back into my life. The story of Alexa and Carter are linked beautifully. The present and past are mirrored with grace and style. A big thank you, Jennifer Edlund.

    One of my favorites

    The book is a short, but the beautiful imagery kept things interesting. I love books that are still set in a real location/time. I especially liked how the author used flashbacks, so you knew the characters history. Loved it from beginning to end. Looking forward to the sequel.

    Coudn't put it down

    I enjoyed this book. I usually can figure out the ending of books and movies way before they end--not so with this one since it kind of left you hanging! I found myself even thinking about the story while at work! I read before bed and found I could't wait to get home and take care of the regular duties quickly so I could go to bed early--only to stay up until midnight reading! I even fell asleep reading it.
