Review: For Lila, Forever by Winter Renshaw

Review of For Lila, Forever by Winter Renshaw


FOR LILA, FOREVER

When Lila's mother passes and she's sent to live with her grandparents on the island where they work, she certainly never expected to meet, and fall for, Thayer, the big boss' favorite grandson. She's unsure of Thayer and his motivations at first. On the surface he seems like a kind, if preppy and gorgeous, guy. But she's known guys like that her whole life, and they rarely end up being as good as Thayer seems to be. So she's naturally wary, and closes herself off at first. It doesn't help that the big boss warned her and her grandparents that she's not to get close to his grandchildren or all their jobs are on the line. Yep, he's a real piece of work...


But, young love is nothing if not persistent, and soon they're sneaking around and falling in love like 18 and 19-year-olds tend to do. But Thayer's set to return to college in a few weeks and Lila's only future is still on this island. Can they survive the long distance and the time? And what happens when Thayer comes back home next summer and Lila and her grandparents are gone, without a word? Will Thayer spend the next 10 years looking for his soulmate or forget her as the time goes by? What of the huge secret Lila's keeping and CANNOT reveal or she'll lose everything?


I was surprised at how sweet For Lila, Forever was, at how sweet Thayer was. I'm used to Winter Renshaw's more alphahole type heroes, so for Thayer to be so darn sweet and kind was a surprise, albeit a very good surprise. I didn't connect as much with Lila, as she just wasn't as developed, or perhaps, not as likable, as Thayer, but she and Thayer made a great couple. All in all, I'd call For Lila, Forever a sweet, poignant second chance, first love kind of romance. If this is your jam, I highly recommend you download your copy today.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
