Goofs Leading up to the fancy date night in New Orleans, Josie's hair was straight. During the date her hair had some styling curls in it. Immediately after the date was concluded, her hair was straight once more. Quotes Sam : Does that prehistoric cell phone of yours even have wa fa?
User reviews Review. Top review. A bit unrealistic. This movie would be fine if the guy hadnt left the girl at the altar at the beginning of the movie and then disappeared for 10 years. I have a hard time believeing that any woman who that happened to would just fall back in love with the guy without so much as an apology from him. She punched him once as payback and then they were back on good terms. It feels like most of the movie overlooked that unforgivable first scene and pretended it happened happened.
All in all a nice story but felt really head-in-the clouds unrealistic. This girl should know her own worth!! Details Edit. Release date January 19, United States. United States. Official Site.

The corpus spans across languages and literatures, highlighting themes across multimodal genres. It accounts for the universalistic view of interjections, and conversely their linguistic specificity as identity markers. Just as a work of self-reflexive 'metafiction' - and the experience of reading it - differ from other types of literature, the work and the experience of viewing films that adapt metafiction are distinct from those of other films, and from other film adaptations of literary works.
This book explores the adaptation of children's metafictions, including works such as Inkheart, The Invention of Hugo Cabret and the Harry Potter series. Not only are the plot devices of books and reading explored on screen in these adaptations, but so is the nature of transmedial adaptation itself - the act of representing one work of art in another medium.
Analysing the 'work' done by children's metafiction and the experience of reading it, Casie E. Hermansson situates the adaptations of these types of books to film within contemporary adaptation criticism. What it cost, and what Stalin ruthlessly enacted, transformed the country and its ruler in profound and enduring ways.
Building and running a dictatorship, with life and death power over hundreds of millions, made Stalin into the uncanny figure he became. He has it all, except the one thing he really wants. He's lonely, he made a big mistake ten years ago, and lost the most important person in his life. He lives in anguish never knowing if he made the right choice following his "Arms of a stranger, a warm blooded kiss, trying to fill the void, of the one that I miss.
He lives in anguish never knowing if he made the right choice following his dreams, and losing her. Josie has spent the last ten years moving on with her life after Liam left her. She is now a florist in the town she grew up in, recently engaged to the man she has been dating for six years, and raising her nine year old son, Noah.
She has had her long time best friend Katelyn, and her husband Mason there to support her. A tragedy strikes them both.
They lose a very close friend, Mason, which brings Liam back into town. He has to see Josie. When they see each other for the first time after all that time, its emotional. They still have the chemistry.
There are feelings between the both of them that are undeniable. How many people get a second chance with their first love? I love you JoJo. You're my forever girl. This was a great story about second chances, love, and forgiveness. Both of the main characters were lovable, Liam had me swooning!
And so were the other characters- loved Noah, and Katelyn and her girls. A nice debut book- I will definitely be reading the next in this series! Looking forward to Harrison's story! Nov 16, Natasha is a Book Junkie rated it really liked it Shelves: arc. Liam found his dream in the first semester of college, a dream that cost him everything he cared for, including the woman he desperately loved. But no one ever asked Liam what he dreamed of becoming one day.
Josie was the girl he fell in love with in high school. She was his best friend. She was his first and only love. She was the girl he left behind to pursue a dream. Stuck on a path that he did not see as his own, Liam sacrificed the one he loved the most to save himself from becoming something he hated, all along knowing that he could never be the man everyone, including Josie, wanted him to be. He suddenly cut ties with everyone in his life and moved away to prove to himself that he could become someone else.
His career as a musician quickly took off and he spent the next ten years torn between the dream he was fulfilling and the ache in his heart always reminding him of the one he left behind. He wrote songs about her, channelling his loneliness and heartbreak over losing her into his music.
For years she felt abandoned and discarded, believing that the only man she ever loved no longer wanted her or any reminder of what they once shared. She eventually rebuilt her life, moved on, never expecting one day for her past to just walk into her shop, for the boy who stole her heart to come back and be still in love with her.
I watched for you and once I saw you, I knew I was going to end up chasing my girl, waiting for you to turn around and see… the real me and love me for who I am and not what I did to you. You just have to turn around. These are well-developed characters whose love for each other survived time and distance. They naturally gravitate towards each other, unable to fight the pull and incapable of forgetting the future they once dreamed of sharing.
When faced with what they could have had, Liam and Josie must decide whether they could still mend what is broken or whether life has just become too complicated to change.
Nothing is rushed, the storyline progressing at a pleasant pace that keeps the reader both glued to the pages as well as more and more invested in the ending. When two people spend ten years convincing themselves they can be apart, sometimes the best cure is to be reminded of why they felt in love in the first place. My body is flushed. I open my eyes and stare at the woman in the mirror.
Staring back is a girl I once knew, one that shined and sparkled every time she was about to go see her boyfriend. This girl looks happy.

I also found it unrealistic for their son to unquestioningly accept their new family dynamics unquestioningly and with little to no difficulty. Overall, while I was fond of the characters, the illogical plot aspects and choppy, repetitive storytelling made this a less than stellar read for me. I listened to the audio book version, and Stephanie Rose and Nelson Hobbs do a fine job with the narration. Funny enough, I actually liked her interpretation of Liam more.
Both voice actors, however, deserve credit for increasing my enjoyment of the so-so story. Feb 06, That Slytherin Girl Reads rated it really liked it. I never thought I'd see the boy who stole my heart and failed to give it back So many feels man!
So many fucking feels. I didn't really think I would like this book, because I honestly hated Liam right on the first page. But when I finished Oh god! I was tearing up I'm so happy Josie and Liam had their happily ever after. I'm such a sucker for happy endings!! I hate guys who leave girls without any explanation. That is suck a dick move. It's the worse way I never thought I'd see the boy who stole my heart and failed to give it back It's the worse way you could leave someone.
I'd prefer you break my heart and tell me you don't love me, than just leaving without telling me why. So imagine how I felt when I read of Liam. That was exactly what he did. This is not a spoiler, because this was on the blurb, but yeah Detested him. Abhorred his entire existence. I'm not even kidding.
I really disliked him right on the first chapter. So anyway, I'll probably dwell more on my thoughts about Liam later on.. Let me start with telling you about the story. The heaviness of a body sprawled out, sets me off immediately.
The stale smell of day old perfume lingers in the air and on my sheets. Liam's life has been pretty much planned out. Finish highschool. Go to college. Join the NFL. Marry his girlfriend. Have kids. Normal stuff. But when the opportunity knocked, he knew he had to grab it, because if not, the moment will pass him by. Yeah right!! To follow his dream, he had to leave everything behind: his family, his friends, college I did this for me and I did it the only way I knew how.
I just didn't think I'd care so much about missing everything. After running away from it all, he never came back to Beaumont since. That was until, his best friend, Mason, died. He knew he had to go back. And now I'm heading home to face the music. Josie's life changed drastically when Liam walked out on her without telling her why. My life was turned-upside down with just a few short words and a door slam, creating a wall between me and the love of my life.
Years pass, and Josie moved on. At least that's what she tells herself. She now Nick who had been constantly at her side, since Liam left. Even though I didn't like Nick, at least he was man enough to be there for Josie when she was down and also help her raise her son, Noah. Now, we all know who the father of this kid is right? Nick has been asking her to marry him, but she was still unsure.
Maybe it was because at the back of her mind, she was still waiting for fucked up Liam who left her without any fucking reason. It was time to make a decision. A man like Nick isn't going to wait around forever. Everyone says he's a catch because he's the one of us who really makes something from his eduation and they're right. But wait, Liam comes back Sorry darling, but he didn't come back for you. He came back to see his best friend, Mason, through to his final resting place.
Despite the hurt that Liam brought her when he inexplicably abandoned her, she still felt something But after then years I never thought I'd feel anything for Liam again. Those feelings had been long dead and then he started coming around. Liam's plan was to stay until Mason's funeral, then leave. He felt that he had no other reason to stay in Beaumont. He knew that Josie hates him and didn't want to wreck her life more than he already did in the past.
But he met someone he wasn't expecting. He unexpectedly met Noah. She had been strong throughout the book. I was happy that she didn't go immediately running to Liam, pulling off her clothes immediately when Liam came back.
I admire her for keeping her shit together, even when it's just for show. Ten years have passed and she still had not gotten over Liam. She knew it, but she didn't want anyone else to know that.
Especially not Noah. She wanted to protect her son from the heartache that she felt when Liam just threw her and their relationship away for fame, which she didn't know at the time.
She didn't want Noah thinking that his father didn't love him. I want this. I want to feel him. And she said this, when she was still together with Nick. And this literally, made me shake my head. I don't approve of cheating. I mean they didn't have a relationship, Liam and Josie, at this point, but the fact that she kissed someone else yes they did kiss aside from her fiancee, seems a lot like cheating to me. And I didn't like it. I mean if she really don't love Nick, just I get that she owed him a lot.
She does really. I mean, he had been there for her, when Liam was out fucking some other bitch. Nick was the one that was there. Helping her in every way he can, although, he was a dick sometimes too.
But come on, he deserves a bit of respect on that regard. I think this was just one of the things I did not approve of that Josie did. But other that, I thought Josie was a great character. Liam: I think I mentioned this earlier. But I hated Liam, start from the first page. Based on the blurb, we already knew what he did. And just reading about that first scene, where he was in bed with a skank, made me hate him immediately. His reason for leaving, reminded me of Mia's from Where She Went.
I thought it was selfish and inconsiderate. I mean come on, the people you left, are not just people you know. They fucking love you.
The least they could have done is said something. They could have understood and supported their decision. The good thing about Liam's character was You sort of get to the point where you sympathize for him and what it must have been like for him to choose between two lifes that he want to have.
If I knew about the baby I would've stayed and figured something out. I would've married you and gone back to school. He was honest, to the point that he wants to be honest so that he doesn't hurt anyone by lying. Also, he had been nothing but loving to Noah. They hid the truth from Noah for a while, but that didn't stop him from showing Noah that he adores him.
Such a sweet gesture. I love guys who are good with kids. Mason was a secondary character, that you don't even get to meet. But oh boy, did I love this guy. If you read this, you'll understand why. In the beginning, I wasn't exactly that invested with Liam and Josie's story yet, but Mason's passing So sad. I loved it.
Honestly adored the relationship that Josie and Liam had back in high school, and after when the truth came out and everything. Just one of the most perfect couple. I knew they would end up together.
I would have liked it better if Nick was a better person than how the author made him here, because then, there would be a possibility of him and Josie ending up together So yeah. I loved how it dealt with different types of relationship. Between friends, lovers, family, and your child. It also touched on forgiveness and moving on.
I think the reason why I liked this book was because I could relate a lot to it, but I'm not wishing my ex back. Not in a million years or in the next thousand lifetimes. I will never ever get back together with him. But I do admire Liam and Josie's love. Despite being apart for a long time, they still have that connection, that love. True love. Will I recommend this?

What's a romantic film that all the crew that worked on it deserved to make a better movie? To answer all these three questions, it's obvious to know the answer to all of this because the review's placement is always the first thing noticeable about reviews. Forever My Girl deserves to be one complete lengthy YouTube video with an extremely low budget put to it. Seeing that as a major YouTube video instead of a major theatrical film could have made Forever My Girl a lot better than what it is even if it doesn't change anything aesthetic which I can hardly see here.
Romance has been overused a lot recently and, for a moviegoer who expects to see more, that's no good for those who are not into romance or just noticed how stereotypical it just became. Sure not all romance films are bad and deserved awful treatment, but I'm just saying that films like these are what makes romance look bad.
Technically because this is a film released in January, it would make sense for people to create an instant skip for Forever My Girl but just for the heck of people who still go watch movies in theaters during dump months, I consider skipping this one unless you literally are into romance which I literally hope not after this.
