From bestselling author Susane Colasanti comes the bittersweet ending to the City Love trilogy, featuring three girls sharing an apartment in New York City the summer before college begins. Forever in Love captures the essence of summer love, self-discovery, and sisterhood, a perfect fit for fans of Sarah Dessen, Jenny Han, and Jennifer E. Smith.

Sadie is trying to find the strength to confront a past family trauma and forgive the boy who broke her heart. Darcy needs to figure out how to make it on her own for the first time and finally accept the love she deserves. Rosanna's boyfriend might still be in love with his ex…and she can recognize the abuse of her past reflected in a girl who needs her help. As the summer comes to an end, will they learn to love themselves and support one another with a bond of sisterhood that will never be broken?

Told from alternating points of view, Forever in Love celebrates three girls who will be forever in love with the endless possibilities their futures hold.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read from a lovely and amazing writer

I live in Chicago, not New York, but I share Susane Colasanti's sense of "city love." Forever in Love is a fun, heartwarming conclusion to the City Love trilogy and a must-read for fans of contemporary YA, New York City and/or an infinite sense of possibility. Darcy, Rosanna and Sadie are well-rounded characters and Colasanti's signature optimism and joy shines through even the darker moments. Forever in Love shines as brightly as city lights, and is a wonderful summer read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Third book in the City Love trilogy is fast-paced & keeps you reading
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018
Quick, fast-paced summer read, good for teens imagining what life after high school could be like. Since this is the last book in the City Love trilogy, we get to spend more time with these characters than in Colasanti's other books so far. Unlike many of her previous novels, the focus isn't merely on romantic relationships but also the tight-knit friendships that the three girls form as they go through tough ups and downs in NYC. There's no guarantee that all three will end up in a relationship by the end. While a couple of the guy characters fall a little flat despite having full plots, the female characters are explored more in depth, particularly because we get to hear their internal monologues. They also deal with a variety of other topics, including abuse, suicidal thoughts, financial woes, and figuring out career directions.

I'm including some of the lines or thoughts that stood out for me (some minor/medium SPOILERS below):

* Rosanna: "The next hour is one of the most agonizing hours of my life. . . . D and Shayla kind of include me in what they're talking about, but the conversation is 90% them, 10% me. Anyone watching us would assume that they are the couple in our awkward threesome. This disgusting tension keeps building the longer Shayla ignores that she tried to steal my boyfriend. . . . D seems oblivious to how this is making me feel."
Colasanti does an excellent job of conveying a nuanced situation that can be hard to explain or justify in real life, when so much of it comes from an overwhelming intuition or gut feeling that something isn't right, even if nothing happened, even if one or both other people haven't acknowledged it in themselves yet. Rosanna tries hard to be open-minded and accepting because it's fine with her if D has female friends... it's Shayla in particular who appears to have an agenda, and she wants to express her concern over that without being branded as "jealous" or "paranoid," which is a fine line to walk, but internally it creates a lot of anxiety and churning upset feelings during the novel. Colasanti handles this arc very well.

* One of the characters says: "Part of the reason I was so angry at you is that it didn't seem like you were lying. I couldn't deal with the possibility that what you were saying was true. That this nice man I'd known my whole life could... do those things."
I've seen this happen in real life, multiple times, where people will get irrationally, over-the-top angry, even to the point of vengeance or bullying, because they so badly don't want to believe that someone is telling the truth. They don't want to believe that they were duped and lied to by someone they wanted to be able to trust. It would be so much easier if the person was lying, so they lie to themselves instead, and ride the wave as long as they can before it all comes crashing down and they can't stay upright anymore. In the context of this novel, it gave the character very understandable motivation; while not condoned, it's realistic that she lashed out.

* "They assumed he was an angry teenager. As if teens are angry for no reason just because they're teens."
The majority of teens don't talk to their parents about what's going on in their lives, often with good reason, and it's only later that their parents begin to understand even a glimmer of what was making them so angry and stressed out - often it's stuff they couldn't even begin to imagine.

Colasanti vividly remembers what it's like to be a teen, and worked with teens as a teacher for years, so her books often convey an underlying message of support and encouragement. While some may find this too sunshiny, what adds more weight to it is the way she's lived her own life and overcame extreme challenges and circumstances. She's shared some of her stories on her blog (and the "Acknowledgments" section of this book), & the arc of her actual life is as inspiring as her novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Ending to the City Love Trilogy
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2017
Do you know how I can tell that a book is really good??? I read it in three days or less. I read Forever in Love in two days. It was THAT amazing! I never wanted to put this book down. The story continues with Sadie, Rosanna, and Darcy but this time, the story didn't focus so much on crazy boy love, but rather girl power, sisterhood, and city love. The bond shared between the three roommates grow stronger. They finally trust each other enough to share their emotional struggles and turbulent pasts. Through their friendship, it is then that they are able to move forward and realize that accepting hard times makes you stronger. Ultimately, how you choose to handle those challenges shape who you are and who you become. "Life is about believing that we can do better next time. And never lose hope that maybe, if we refuse to give up, we will become the person we actually want to be." Kudos to Colasanti for sending such a positive and powerful message to young girls! Life is full of possibilities and the possibilities really are endless... :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great and Sad Conclusion
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2017
I won the first City Love book in a giveaway in late January 2015 and after reading it fell in love with the series. So when the, sadly, last book of the trilogy came out, I knew I had to get it.

I love that the trilogy takes place over the summer before college. The series showed me what City Love is. Loved everything about the series. The only thing that is disappointing about "Forever in Love" is that it's the last book in the series.

If you're a fan of the first or/and second City Love books, you must get this one and see how it concludes. Who knows? Maybe we'll get to see future short stories with Sadie, Darcy, and Rosanna. Personally, I'd love to see "City Love: Christmas edition" or other stories with the girls in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Susane's books have related to me on levels that I cannot even describe and the City Love trilogy is no different
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017
I've started reading Susane's books when I was in middle school and am now entering into my last year of college. Susane's books have related to me on levels that I cannot even describe and the City Love trilogy is no different. As a middle of nowhere Midwesterner with a traumatic past who moved to NYC for college, these books spoke both to experiences I've had in the city as well as to experiences I hope to have.

Susane's classic optimistic philosophy shines throughout the book, inspiring me to be better at being positive and open my eyes to the possibilities all around me.

Without Susane's books, I wouldn't know the possibilities that life has in store for me.

Susane's books have been at the top of my list for years! But the city love trilogy is my all time favorite. The books are so inspiring and full of positive energy/vibes! It's the perfect mixture of girl empowerment and boy romance. I could read these books over and over again.

“We all make mistakes. We all have regrets we wish we could go back and do over. But wallowing in those regrets is not living. Life is about believing that we can do better next time.”

Not as good as the previous to books in the trilogy,but it was lovely to be back with these three characters and the ending was satisfying.
