Shannon Hart is on tour with CLP Blog Tours!
Until the End of Forever is the debut novel from Shannon Hart, and I thought it was romantic and sweet. The main couple, Sarah and Rob, are nauseatingly perfect at first glance, but you begin to learn that Sarah isn’t content with her life. She suddenly longs for freedom, away from being only a wife and mother. When a business opportunity presents itself to Sarah in the form of a trip to Paris, she eagerly signs up and takes off across the Pond. But when tragic events occur back home, Sarah finds herself more confused than ever with her life and with her marriage.
I enjoyed that the novel was written from both Sarah and Rob’s point of view. I think by having the multiple viewpoints gives readers an extra oomph on understanding and engaging with the characters. I definitely think the ending showcased some fantastic dramatic scenes, and really tied the entire story together nicely. The biggest dilemma I had with Hart’s writing is that she often relied on flashbacks to tell a part of the story, when they really weren’t necessary. The multiple flashbacks kept yanking me from the plot and started to overwhelm me. But overall, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend chick lit readers to give it a shot. The message at the end of the story is a great one, and I also love the story behind the title!
