The Forever Girl by Jill Shalvis (Book Review)

January 18, 2021 By Deanna Lynn 1 Comment

When Maze returns to Wildstone for the wedding of her estranged bff and the sister of her heart, it’s also a reunion of a once ragtag team of teenagers who had only each other until a tragedy tore them apart and scattered them wide. Naturally, mistakes are made and conflicts arise, but ultimately, family, forgiveness, and love blossom in unexpected ways.
