Since Forever Ago by Olivia Besse | Rating: ★★★★☆

Since Forever Ago is nothing new in terms of plot yet it still is quite enjoyable. I’ve seen a bunch of negativity regarding how each of the characters act throughout the story. I.E: readers distaste for their immaturity or the frequent cursing and offensive things said. But I have one thing to say to them: have you MET a majority of the population of 20 somethings? I mean really.

I rather thought the characteristics and habits of each thing that came from certain characters was very realistic. I could see a lot of relatable qualities — both good and bad — in them and I find it rather sad that people aren’t really getting that.

But that’s rather typical, isn’t it? And that’s okay — it isn’t their cup of tea. Not everything will be.

Moving on. I found at times I was wishing there was a bit more to the story and wished for more narration or a bit of a change in pace when it came down to the plot. Although there were times when it went too quickly and left me wondering how certain things happened, what other things happened within the minds of the characters, the writing wasn’t terrible. And I can see Olivia Besse growing from this point on in terms of her stories; I look forward to hearing more from her.
