Review: Good but lacked the intensity of Perry's other books
Rating: 3 out of 5

I've read Jolene Perry before and really like her fast-paced writing, and intense, emotional stories.  I picked up My Forever thinking it would be the same kind of read.  And while I did enjoy the book, something was off for me.  The intensity wasn't there.  The story was slow at times, and I just didn't have the connection with the characters like I've had in the past with Perry's books.I liked the premise (something about teen pregnancy always lures me in) and I especially liked Dani's journey to faith.  I liked the love story and that there was a slow build to the relationship.  I definitely would have liked the story to continue on, after the characters finally got together.I would recommend this book to fans of contemporary YA, with the caveat that My Forever isn't quite on the same level as some of Perry's other books.  I do plan to keep reading Jolene Perry and hope the next book is better for me (she's written quite a few novels so I have plenty to pick from).
