[BOOK] Only for You (Forever and Always #1) by E.L Todd

Only For You 1^st book of Forever and Always Triology from E.L Todd

Genre: Young Adults, Romance
Year Published: 2013

I don’t know what makes me hook up with this book. The story is pretty common, two best friend, fall in love with each other, but they never realize that until something has set them apart. We heard this kind cliché story quite often.

Scarlet and Sean have been best friend since their freshman year, it all start with a platonic kind of relationship until suddenly Sean get dumped by his longtime girlfriend who he thought is the love of his life. Long story short, Scarlet is trying to cheer him up over the breakup until one day they accidentally slept together. There is a huge misunderstanding here, while Sean thinks is just another one-night stand while Scarlet thinks this is the beginning of their relationship. Thinking that she been used and betrayed by her own best friend, her best solution is to run away and start a new life in a new city with the help of her brother that she have been ignored for a year and his handsome best friend who later have a quite complicated story with her. 

The thing that I enjoy is, the story is not just focus with the two main character, Scarlet and Sean but also with the other things that happen in their life which involve other minor character like Scarlet’s brother, Ryan and his best friend Cortland. One time I just want to slap Scarlet for always moping around for a man, but the other time I’m very proud of her for standing on her own and be an independent woman and caring sister.  As for Sean, he’s fine character to be, nothing from him that stand out the most, but I do get irritated for the slow response that he make or every situation in this book.

Because this is a trilogy books, some reader might be disappointed for the ending that we get in this book. So many unsolved mystery and problem in this book, of course it makes you want to read the next trilogy. But for me, I think I pass the next book, there are no excitement or the thing that makes me want to read the next book.

Overall Rating : 3.7/5
