Review: The Forever of Ella and Micha by Jessica Sorensen

There are some authors that you always just come back for more. Jessica Sorensen is one of those authors for me. I like to think I have been with her since the beginning. I have read all of her books, even before she was published. I would tell people about her and they would be like Jessica who? I eagerly await any new release that she has. I have always seen pure talent in her writing. She leaves me wanting and needing more in every one of her books.

The Secret of Ella and Micha left us desperately wanting more. The Forever of Ella and Micha closed all of those doors. I was utterly satisfied with every chain of events that happened, other than the one time when I may have sent Ashley threatening text about Ella, lol. I was pretty much breathless by the end. Now, don’t let the name fool you, yes forever is in the title, but they have a lot of work cut out for them to get there.

I never looked far enough into the future to realize that maybe one day Micha and I may not be together. A forever? Does such a thing exist?

At first when I started the book, I was a bit worried. I was scared that we may be forced to read yet another cliché. Ella is back in school and now Micha is on the road with his band. The insecurities between both start up almost immediately. I just knew the whole book would be back and forth… he doesn’t love me, she is cheating on me….whew, I am so glad I was wrong! Even though that is part of the book, it is not the basis and over fairly quickly. So if you are like me and feel like this will ruin everything you love about Ella and Micha, fear not and keep reading.

Micha

Remember the love we had for Micha in book 1. I feel he made my heart grow 1,000 times more in book 2. I had no idea I could love him anymore. I even dreamed about him last night! His patience with Ella’s demons really what gets to me. No man in the world can be as patient as Micha. Ella is so up and down. One minute she loves him and is like put it in….the next she is like we can’t do that anymore lets me friends. But that doesn’t stop him. He knows she is the one and only girl for him and always has been. Remember what he said in book 1? All of the other girls were just too keep him occupied until she finally realized what she wanted. He keeps true to that. Since he has Ella now, even through their ups and downs there is never a moment when he thinks he will just find someone else. He wants to make this work. He needs to make this work. Ella needs it to, she just takes a little longer to realize.

Ella





Ella is it for me. The way I feel about her is never going to change. I will love her forever, but I need her closer to me, not thousands of miles away. How am I supposed to tell her, though that I’m ready to begin her future, when I know she has no clue what her future is yet?

On a side note. I love the new covers for the series, but I won’t lie. I loved the old cover of book 1 much better. Who else is with me?

5 stars all the way.

Oh, and let's not forget the best friends Ethan and Lila who have their very own book coming out later this year.

The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden (The Coincidence #1) by Jessica Sorensen

Astounding! Bewildering!! Breathtaking!!! Extraordinary!!!! STUUUUPENDOUS!!!!!

Jessica Sorensen's books keep getting better and better. I started off on my Jessica Sorensen binge with The Fallen Star series, and have moved on to everything else she has ever written. When I read Ember, I was like this is it! This is the best...but then I read The Secret of Ella and Micha and was like no wait...THIS is it! But....now I have read The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden and all I have to say for myself if THIS IS IT! THIS IS THE BEST ONE EVER!

I finished this book 2 days ago and I am still thinking about it! It's like, I forgot that I finished. I was doing a little cleaning and was like "wow, I need to hurry so I can get back to Callie & Kayden..." then the sadness hit me when I realized that I was already finished! I'm going through some major withdraws. I haven't missed a book this much in a long time.

"The thing I regret-will always regret-is going into my room on my twelfth birthday"

Callie's life was stolen from her on her 12th birthday. What used to be a fun loving girl, turns into someone that tries to hide from the world under dark, baggy clothing, heavy and heavy makeup. She tries to purge all of the darkness from her body by forcing herself to become almost anorexic. She leaves home for college way before she has to only to get away from all of the madness of the life she lost. She trust no one but her best friend Seth.

I love him because he's the first person I felt comfortable enough to tell my secrets to, but maybe that's because he understands what it's like to be hurt inside and out.

Seth and Callie create a list to try and help each other become the people they should have been, had their lives not been stolen from them.

"Just because it's on the list, doesn't mean it will happen," I say as he stands up and marches to the board on the back of the door where our list is written. "Yes, it does, Callie." He grins, flipping the cap off the pen with his thumb. "Because it's a magical list, full of possibilities." "I wish that were true." I stare out the window at the people flooding the campus yard. "I really do."

Kayden life has also kind of sucked. Not in the same way as Callie, but still, it sucked. He has always had to live in silence and fear of doing something wrong and pissing that person off. At least until that night 4 months ago when Callie happened to be in the right place and the right time and she did something that no one else would have ever done, she saved Kayden.

All Kayden can do is think about that night and why she did he. He wants nothing more than to speak with her but he never sees her again...at least until he goes off to college and then he can't believe its her. Something is different, she is wearing a red shirt and laughing with a guy. He attempts to make friends with Callie, but the closer they get the farther away she becomes.

"In the exsistence of our lives, there is a single coincidence that brings us together and for a moment, our hearts beat as one."

I will warn you, there is a pretty deep cliff hanger at the end, but still so worth the read! Don't be scared of the cliffhanger, just jump in full throttle and fall in love with Callie and Kayden and don't forget to love Seth and Luke some too!

And, I'm happy to add this note from Jessica Sorensen:

I’ve been getting asked if there will be a sequel to The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden and the answer is yes! I have it up on Goodreads as Untitled. Over the weekend I’ll work on the title, the blurb, expected release date, and the first chapter, that way you guys can have some info and a little snippet of Callie and Kayden to read. I’ll be working on this story next and as most of you guys know, I write very quickly :)

There’s also going to be another book in this series, but from one of the secondary characters. I’ll announce who a little later.

The Secret of Ella and Micah by Jessica Sorensen

Squeeeeee!!!! I was sooo excited when I found out that Jessica Sorensen was writing this book. She tormented us for what felt like FOREVER with all the teasers and then the cover reveal, I was like a kid at Christmas when the book was finally released. I read it in a matter of hours, not being able to put it down. Btw...isn't this cover HOT!!! Okay, so on to the review.

Ella and Micah have been next door neighbors and best friends since they were small kids. Ella has never been a girly girl, she fit in just being one of the guys. She is a spit fire, never holding anything back and always standing up for what she believes in. Their friendship has always been perfect, they share Micah's love of music and Ella's love of art, always looking out for each other.

One fatal night tragedy strikes and nothing is ever the same. Ella feels as if she will never be okay again, like everything she has ever known is suffocating her and she has to get away. She up and leaves, running away to college and leaving everyone behind without a goodbye. Once school is out for summer break she is forced to return home and face everyone that she left behind.

Micah has been going out of his mind searching for Ella, he has put his whole life on hold just to find her. So when she shows up one night out of the blue he is shocked to see that she is no longer the Ella he has always known, she has ditched the goth look and heavy eyeliner for preppy girl clothes and dropped her spit fire attitude for the nice girl routine. Micah is determined to get his Ella back and will stop at nothing to do it. Tragedies from both of their pasts come back to haunt them and tempt to push them even further apart if they can't come together to get past them.

This video reminds me of Ella and Micah. The Spill Canvas-All Over You
