2.5 stars.
I loved Dear Emily and Dear Tabitha but this one was just OK for me.
I had a hard time connecting with the characters and believing in the romance (even though there was very little romance in this book). This felt more like a "coming of age" story but with 2 main characters.
I LOVED the twist in the end but needed more closure with that development.
All that being said, I love the writing style of this author and will definitely read more from her in the future. The first 2 books in the series are very good- I recommend them if you have not read them yet.

”We had to grow separately and experience everything that we did in order to find each other one last time.”
“I love you,” I whisper through happy tears.
“Olive juice, too,” he replies.”
24 hours later and I’m still thinking about this book. This story packed one hell of an emotional punch.....start to finish!! Absolutely fantastic.
Dear Juliet is the third book in the Forever Family series and you need to read the other two first before starting this one.
I hate to say that I almost didn’t read this book. Seth was just kind of blah to me in the previous books, so I honestly didn’t care to read about him. However, I figured I had come this far with the series so I might as well finish it, and I am so glad I did because this book was the best of the bunch. Omg......I LOVE Seth Tyson ❤️❤️

This book I know will be hard for me to review. So much happened and so much was learned that I just feel like Seth’s redemption was phenomenal and well deserved. I was browsing some reviews (now that I had all of the series read) and I was shocked to find that 97% of people were not a huge fan of Seth. WHAT? I was a fan of Seth throughout the other books but knowing his past, knowing what made him, made him that much more enjoyable.
Trudy’s coincidences in this book were perfect. Jaw dropping even. I didn’t see them coming. Isn’t that the best part of reading? My mind was blown. Utterly. Watching Seth and Juliet become childhood friends that blossomed from a pen pal friendship and then watching them transition into adults broke my heart but when they had victories my heart SOARED for them. Just right out the window.
“I don’t want to be alone with my grief anymore, and I want to absorb all of hers.”
My most favorite thing about this book was watching Seth open up and grow. Adjust. Change. Love. It was hard understanding his motives in the other books but when you finally read about his past it all becomes so clear. The second part of the book is so damn solid. SO. GOOD. Trudy did so well tying up any and all loose ends and bringing the characters together like she did.
I think there is a huge difference between just simply writing a story and writing a POWERFUL story that will leave you in a trance. Trudy created a series that sticks with you long after you are done. That makes you question “what do I do with my life now?!” I will think about Juliet, Seth, Tabby, and Alex about like I do Tania and Shura from The Bronze Horseman. These characters will always be a huge part of my Forever Family.
OLIVE JUICE, TRUDY!
