Forever, Interrupted: A Novel

Touching and powerful...Reid masterfully grabs hold of the heartstrings and doesnt let go. A stunning first novel. -Publishers Weekly (starred review)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 Years Day, she heads out to pick up a pizza for one. She isnt 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, theyve 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 doesnt even know Elsie exists. Interweaving Elsie and Bens charmed romance with Elsie and Susans healing process, Forever, Interrupted will remind you that theres more than one way to find a happy ending.
