Accidentally Forever was a tough book to read while at the same time it felt incredibly rewarding. The main characters are all struggling with different life issues. To see them overcome and conquer these issues at times made for an intense read. Crew could be overbearing and overprotective when is comes to Aria but Aria had no problems putting Crew in his place and letting him know she was able to stand up for herself. Having seen Aria and Travis in past stories, it was a relief for her to finally receive closure to her story.
Aria is a wonderfully sweet and yet strong female character. Externally, Crew comes across as tough, his upbringing has forced him to create a protective barrier around himself but he is very protective of those in his life that he has grown to care for.
Aria Montgomery is a talented photographer who has struggled her entire life living in the shadow of her famous photographer father. Having started her own business that allows artists from all mediums to come together and show their work, Aria still struggles with confidence in herself. In prior Montgomery Ink Legacy stories we have been introduced to Aria's best friend Travis. It is obvious that Travis has a serious drinking problem and Aria's family has expressed concerns for her safety when she is around him.
Crew McTavish has always been an honorary member of the Montgomery family. Many have joked that he is attempting to marry his way into the family. Crew is an amazing painter who often shows his work at Aria's studio. Unknown to many, Crew did not have the best childhood, one of the reasons he spent so much time with the Montgomerys.
Many had considered Travis and Aria to be in a long term relationship, including Crew. After many months of Travis being abusive and an embarrassment at Montgomery family events, Aria turns to Crew in an effort to feel better about herself.
Accidentally Forever was a roller coaster of a story and at the same time it showed humanities resilience and ability to overcome.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
