Welcome to Litsy!

Quietly emotional, full of flawed characters, this is a story about love, friendship and family. It was a solid 4 ⭐️ read and my favorite book of September. ❤️📚

A story about love, friendship, and family. This novel is written from the main character, James, to a child, but at first you don‘t know who that child is or what James‘s relationship is to them. This is a quiet book, emotional at times, with flawed characters, and is written very well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❤️📚

Started today and there‘s a good chance I‘ll finish it today, too. 💙

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 this one surprised me. Turned out much differently than I expected but really enjoyed it.

“As much as we crave a concise, linear narrative, life happens as it will, often in a haphazard fashion that feels anything but finished. We must cobble together our most important moments and call them our story.”
Profoundly accurate.

I have become a real fan of Camille Pagán's books, so when I saw Forever Is the Worst Long Time available on Kindle Unlimited, I jumped right in. As in her other novels, Pagán does a brilliant job building a compelling, flawed, realistic protagonist whose growth as a human being lies at the center of the book. In this case, we witness James Hernandez's infatuation with the amazing Lou. ⬇️

I could not put this down. Fell in love With the cast of characters . Enjoyed the narrators perspective.

I thought overall the book was beautiful and tragic but I found the characters really unlike able.

This book starts off slow and is difficult to capture your attention at first and then BAM! It takes you off guard. Beautiful prose with a truly realistic and heartbreaking story.

Pagan is my new fave author; this was brilliant 💫

I suspect the people we are drawn to are the ones we need most, even if we are never able to fully comprehend why.

I found this slow to get into. I wasn't a fan of how it switched btw 2nd person POV to more of a story and had difficulty connecting with characters, finding them to be shallow. several times I had to remind myself that this was in fact fiction, not a memoir so kudos to the author there. This was a bookclub selection so found myself reflecting on the meaning of many of the quotes used w/in the story, making it less enjoyable read for me.

This was not what I thought it would be but it was so much better. A story of three friends who go through so much, most of it is light-hearted and fun but wow that ending. Be prepared for some emotion.

I originally got this as a gift for my sister because I mistook it for YA - it's not! It is a heartbreaking novel though and you will cry. Life/death/love it's all here. It's all ready and waiting for your tears to stain the pages.
I am not a big romance reader and I found myself absorbed in this one.

I'll have to admit, I was a little skeptical when I read the description for this one. I'm not the biggest romance fan and I thought that's what it would be about. I was VERY WRONG! Although there were a couple romances, it turned out to be so much more than that. Marriage. Divorce. Affairs. Depression and a very unconventional family. This book has all of life's ventures.
