Summary

Seventeen-year old Sarah’s life is turned upside down when her single mom is sent to jail. She’s forced to move, leaving behind everything she’s ever known, including her best friend Sydney. Lost and bitter in a new school, her one goal is to save money and move back home. Then she meets Angel Moreno.

Enigmatic but gorgeous, Angel is almost too good to be true. Except for one thing, his archaic belief that guys and girls can never be “just friends”. The problem? Sarah’s best friend Sydney is not a girl.

With their unexpected romance intensifying to places neither ever experienced, how long can Sarah keep Angel in the dark? And how will he react when the truth finally comes out?

My Review:

Oh My God I LOVED this book!!! It was amazing!! I’ll stop gushing and go to the point:

Reading the plot you can immediately associate it with the Perfect Chemistry novels by Simone Elkeles. Good Girl falls in love with Trouble Mexican boy. Yes, they do share this in common but they also could have not been more different. Angel – Main character of Forever Mine – is a Mexican boy that doesn’t know Spanish xD and he is a good guy, just a little bit of a Don Juan – he goes out with a few lotta girls – but when a girl with sad green eyes enters his life, everything changes. Meet Sarah, who just came to live to La Jolla in San Diego – I spend most of my time there :D!! –  because of some problems her mother’s in, she’s determined not to get too attached to things because as soon as she can she goes back to Arizona to live with his Best Friend Sydney.

But obviously things never go as planned. She’s soon completely and hopelessly in Love with Angel Moreno. But still, there are things both have to work out and discover that it is not easy to come clean and also to forgive.

Angel and Sarah’s relationship goes really quick, too quick I’d say. I wasn’t buying it, but then they date more and more and more and some more and you just can’t help but thing they are PERFECT for each other. The story is predictable – you can tell how things are going just by the summary – but it still takes some twist and turns you just don’t see coming and how things unraveled is just beautiful.

But I really think that what makes this novel so strong and powerful is the support characters. They are all just so beautiful and unique that they all make a chain. You take one out, everything breaks. Eric, the voice of reason and – in Angel’s words – dumb. Romero, the one that always gets drunk and says stupid yet hilarious things – in Angel’s words – dumber. Alex, Moreno bother number 2, total flirt, hot ‘till the ends, sparks definitely fly. Sydney, Sarah’s BFF and her voice of reason, he’ll always have her back. Valerie, fearless and she’s part of Sarah’s straight. Sofia, she adds the spark and also becomes your best friend. and of course there's Sarah, she’s so much worth than what she gives credit to herself and Angel, whom is determined to show her her beauty and also he’s afraid of what he feel, but is still giving it all to Sarah; he can be sometimes possessive and goes into “macho” mode, but he learns to loosen up.

If you love Romance, some romance, a little bit of romance and some more romance, this is the book for you. I Loved it. I recommend it. I gush about it. I Loved it. :DD!

""What?” Eric shook his head. “Angel Moreno is into talking to chicks now? When did you turn into a total wuss?"


Angel shrugged, and took another bite of his food.


He avoided looking at Eric; suddenly not sure he wanted to talk about it. “I don’t know, dude, she’s just cool to hang with, I guess.”


Eric nodded, as if he got it. “So, you’re not into her? I thought she was pretty hot.”


“I’m into her, you ass, just ‘cause I didn’t bone her the first night. Not all girls are like that, you know.”


Eric grinned. “So, you did get shot down.""
