DISTRAUGHT, DESTROYED, and HEARTBROKEN are just a few words to describe how I felt after reading “Everlong.”
This love story between a mortal and immortal was written with such beautiful prose and such vivid descriptions that I felt right there in the scenes next to them, taking me on this journey of someone who knew only the company of herself and was simply existing instead of living until someone showed her that there’s more to life.
I was giggling and smiling like an idiot at the beginning of the book, then tearing up as I watched someone learn how to be loved for all that she is and all that she isn’t. It’s a type of love where patience is freely given, where your flaws are embraced rather than shunned, and the jagged puzzle piece that she was, not quite fitting anywhere was not changed or formed to fit into the mold, but instead a new puzzle having formed around her.

I keep writing and deleting my sentences because I can't even formulate a proper review for this. THAT'S HOW MUCH THIS BOOK WRECKED ME (but in a good way) I went into this book knowing absolutely nothing. Tbh I didn't even read the blurb and took a friend's word for it that it was good. So I went in totally blind and was happily surprised by each twist and turn.
I was really impressed by the writing style, it was beautiful and poetic! I also have never sobbed crying while reading before and this book did it to me. I've teared up and held back tears, but this book resulted in rolling tears down my face type of crying. When they say reading helps you build empathy and healthy emotions, they're referring to this book.
I enjoyed the characters SO much! There was a richness in each one. Each night I'd open my book and it was like I was visiting family and friends. I'm all about healthy relationships and this book had them, especially the romantic ones. It was all very sweet, respectful, and heart warming.
The premise of the story was captivating! Unexpected, really. It has fantasy elements but not super high fantasy. It WILL pull on your heart strings, so if you're not wanting that and looking for a cute uplifting read, it is not this book. Read this if you want your heart to be changed, in a way where your wanting to do nothing but run to your loved ones and hold on to them so tight. I will be thinking about this story for a while because it had left a print on my heart, and I'm glad about that.
Gosh I hate being emotional after reading..but i needed this..I did, because sometimes we don't mean to, but days go by where we are not loving the ones we love as much as we can and this reminded me to do so 🤍
Things to expect:
Romance is closed door
Sloooow burn
Profanity was used
Themes of overcoming grief and loss
Found family
Mention of blood (so if you're woozy by that, take caution)
I'd give this a 4.5 rounded up.
