Excerpt:
“Keep
it. A little something to remember me.”
“So…are
we, like, going to be like…boyfriend and girlfriend?”
Her
eyes are expectant and suddenly, breathing feels a little harder. Those words
make me think of things like explanations and disappointment. I’m not sure that
I can be intimate with anyone. And what happens when she finds out about
everything? She’ll be horrified. Or when I start back on the show and that
whole world crowds in on us… she’ll get tired of it and walk away. Or I’ll be
weak and break even more of my own rules and end up hurting her.
“Let’s
not put any labels on it.”
Her
eyes lose some of their sparkle, but she smiles gamely. “Well, no matter what
we call it, the last few days have been awesome. I know a side of myself that I
didn’t before.”
“How do
you mean?”
“I
mean, now I know, that given the chance, I can sit down with people I don’t
know and have a great conversation. I’ve never been anywhere, but here. And now
I’m going to get to travel with you—even though I’ll be seeing it through your
phone’s camera. Meeting you was really good luck. ”Oh yeah…The cheesecake.
I’m
ruined. I brush my lips very lightly across hers and smile when she whimpers.
God, I’m going to miss her.
“I
promise, I’ll call.” It doesn’t make my heart race to say it.
“Don’t
promise, Carter. Those are bound to be broken. Just do it.” Her eyes turn
solemn and I see that she and disappointment are intimate friends. I want to
break them up. 
**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**
Between Now and Forever is the first book in the Forever Trilogy and the
beginning of Elisabeth & Carter's love story. I absolutely loved the way
Beth and Carter met, and how he interacted with her. I especially liked that he
adjusted his approach when he started to get an idea of her personality. Both
characters have their own struggles, doubts, and dreams. There was a real
connection between the characters, however it really was in the early stages.
So I really look forward to seeing it grow in the upcoming two books. They are
both young and especially Beth is someone who has been secluded and a bit
naive, so she is experiencing a lot of things for the first time ever. She is
not timid though, and I was happy to see some growth in her in this book.
There were some pretty heartbreaking scenes in this book, but also a lot of uplifting ones. The making out scenes were hot and heavy, and I always enjoy the ones Dylan writes. Overall, I think this book was a great introduction to the characters and their story. I really look forward to what will happen in the next book after the cliffhanger ending, which I didn't see coming. The pace of the story is great, and I love Dylan's writing style. I also love the characters she has created for this trilogy. There is some drama, but it didn't really bother me that much in this book. I look forward to all the angst, heartbreak, romantic and swoon-worthy moments in the rest of the trilogy.
