Where’s the Fun in Forever. Ashley. 2023. 98 page. [Source: Kindle Unlimited.]
A vacation fling always makes for a fun, and hopefully enticing, story. In Where’s the Fun in Forever, Moira and Chance find themselves vacationing on a beautiful Hawaiian island and connect through a series of extremely unfortunate events. While they’re away from home hoping to escape the drudgery of their daily lives, they also can’t seem to stay out of each other’s paths. Both decide to take a chance (no pun intended) to open themselves up to new adventures and experiences, and the result is a passionate fling neither expects to extend to the mainland.
Of course things are rarely that simple, so the core of this story is about what brought the two to Hawaii in the first place and later questions what’s next for the pair. Much of the focus is on Moira — her backstory, her relationships, and her changing needs. This isn’t to say that Chance was completely ignored, but he wasn’t given the same depth of backstory or character development she was. At times, it felt that Chance was more of a driver for Moira’s growth and it wasn’t always reciprocated in his storyline. Despite this, the two are cute together, especially in how they come back from what started as a disastrous introduction.
I have to admit that I found the end predictable, in part because of details the author provided. It also felt particularly abrupt and left me wanting more. It makes me wonder if the author intends to continue these characters’ stories or if that’s their style overall. I’d definitely check out a follow-up on these two characters to see if anything pans out.
Overall, I enjoyed this story. It was limited in its length, but is a good option if you want something that neatly wraps up in a shorter book.
