What stands out to me about Forever is its maturity. Each installment truly built upon the previous story in a remarkable manner and the way everything comes together in this in such a bittersweet and realistic way is heart-stopping. Forever is the perfect ending to this trilogy. Although my fingers and toes were crossed tight while reading this – I would have hated to be another disappointed reviewer adding to the throng of mixed emotions – I needn’t have worried. ![]() Stiefvater’s Forever is, in my eyes, the best this trilogy has to offer.
