My Review

Welcome to my stop on the book tour for Cassie Graham’s wonderful new novel, Maybe Ever After. Any lovers out there of friends to lovers stories, prepare to fall in love with this novel! Brynn and Easton have known each other since they were kids, work together promoting celebrity events, and, yeah, they have both been secretly in love with each forever, but they haven’t told each other. Maybe it’s an impromptu road trip or maybe it’s the threat of another guy entering the picture, but suddenly things change and these two best friends have to figure out what exactly to do with it all.

I typically write very detailed and lengthy reviews, however, after finishing this novel, my main thoughts are, this is one of the best feel-good books I’ve read in a very long time. There is truly no reason for me to go into a lot of detail because I’ve already told you that this novel centers around two best friends who think they want more, experiment with more, but then have to figure out what “more” means to them.

Both main characters are absolutely flawless and so incredibly developed you will think they are your personal friends that you’ve known forever. Moreover, Graham’s character development is so good that during the brief moments of meeting Brynn and Easton’s families, you’ll feel as if you already knew them forever. But especially the way she developed and built Brynn and Easton…. I promise you will feel as if you know them very early into the novel.

As I was saying, this novel needs no fluff or filler in its review. This is a damned good book and one of the better I’ve read recently in this genre. If you want something different, unique, yet pulls at your heartstrings, then this is your next read.

*much love and thanks to the author and Barclay Publicity for providing this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Excerpt

Real moments were scarce.

Wait, let me rephrase. Important moments were scarce. You know the ones. The ones that defined your life and shaped you into who you were always meant to be. Or who you always wanted to be.

That was the beauty of rarity. It forces you to look at your life from new angles – makes you appreciate the struggle you’ve endured before.

As I caught my breath, the delicious heaviness of Easton on me, I knew I was having one of those rare moments that would forever influence my life.

Easton pushed my hair back, his touch featherlight. I couldn’t understand how he could be so forceful – so strong – one minute, taking everything he could, and then so soft the next. Easton Cole was an enigma and I desperately wanted to know more.

“My sweet Brynn,” he whispered in my ear, again and it sent shivers through my body.

I was his.

When he looked at me like that . . . I couldn’t breathe.

He settled between my legs and I hummed with contentment, happy to have him close, comfortable enough to never let him leave.

The alarm on his phone began to ring and our reality smacked me in the face. “What happens next?” I asked in a small voice, feeling even smaller. I didn’t want to leave this room. I didn’t want to pop our bubble. I liked it.

Easton reached for his phone and silenced it. “We go home.”

I blinked, unable to say anything. He didn’t answer my question. Not really. His response was far too literal for my taste, but what was I to do?

So, instead, I kept quiet, watching the sun pour into our room, Easton’s skin turning a beautiful bronze color.

After a while, we broke apart, each of us getting dressed in silence. He stole sweet glances as I piled my hair onto my head and I snuck a few peaks as he brushed and styled his hair in front of the mirror.

Euphoric and sad, I teetered on the brink of begging him to stay here forever. I had no idea what kind of future we faced on the other side of the hotel door.

But my mother’s words rang in my ears, reminding me to take it slow.

Live in the moment, darlin’ girl. Don’t forget to exist in the present while you’re waiting for the future.

Once our things were packed and ready to go, I took a moment to look around the room – our safe haven where so many truths were shared.

I’d forever remember this hotel and the way the room smelled. The way the sheets felt against my skin and the sounds Easton made in my ear as we made love.

I’d remember all of it.

But what I’ll remember most is the way Easton looked at me and the way he made me feel without using any words at all.

About Cassie:

A Moscato aficionado, and chocolate mistress, Cassie Graham is a born and raised Arizona girl. Her sass knows no bounds and almost always has something kind to say, no matter the situation. She runs a platform of love and strives to bring those attributes out in every book she writes.

She started writing early in her high school career after an English teacher forced her to write in a journal. Four years and thirty-something notebooks full of words later, she found her passion. If Cassie isn’t shoulder-deep in writing a version of a fairytale, you can find her front porch sitting with her husband and daughter, eating all the bread, gossiping with her best friends, visiting Disneyland, supporting strong women, listening to cheesy music and reading great books by amazing people. She loves binge-watching Supernatural, drooling over Dean, Sam and Cas, and going to conventions. She also enjoys spreading love any chance she can. So, if you run into her, give her a hug or a high-five. She guarantees they’re magic.

Author of Unable to Resist, Anyone But Him, The Truth of a Liar, Enchanting Wilder, Surviving Wilder, Who Needs Air and The Girl Behind the Red Door.
