Have you ever heard of supernovas? They shine brighter than anything else in the sky and then fade out really quickly, a short burst of extraordinary energy. I like to think you and Ben were like that . . . in that short time, you had more passion than some people have in a lifetime.

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.

Resenhas (1997)

4 (Muito bom)

Sabe aquele livro que não tem nada de excepcional, mas você não consegue parar de ler? Assim que comecei o livro, simplesmente não queria que a história acabasse, e a narrativa da Taylor, nesse livro, é extremamente envolvente. Os personagens são bastante irritantes, achei o Ben muito impositivo, Elsie é muito submissa, e Anna é clássica melhor amiga que só aparece quando é conveniente. Enfim, a história tem problemas, mas a narrativa é absurdamente envolvente, não tem a qualidade da trindade, mas continua tendo um escrita maravilhosa.
