Part of Forever

Rate this book
Rosie has always lived and breathed ballet.

Mom being too hard on her? She dances. Stressed about school? She dances. Falls for her best friend but can’t date him thanks to mom’s rules? She dances. Things are going well? She dances.

It’s the last semester of her senior year. Her audition to the Paris Ballet Academy went better than she could have ever dreamed, and she might be finally able to date Tucker Bensen, her best friend whom she’s been crushing on since freshman year. Through it all, she dances.

But when her childhood cancer returns and threatens to take away the one thing she’s always loved, Rosie must open her heart to the possibility that maybe there is more to life than ballet. That maybe it’s worth it to give her heart to someone else, even if it won’t last forever.



Part of Forever is a standalone Young Adult contemporary novel.

Part of Forever by Taylor Epperson broke me. It is such a good book and I really enjoyed it. It is a beautifully written YA Contemporary book. Rosie & Tucker are such wonderful characters. Rosie has always dreamed of being a ballerina in Paris & Tucker has always wanted to be a country singer. At 18 after her biggest audition is finally over she finds out her cancer is back. There is 5 months left of senior year and she decided that she wants the one other thing she had always wanted, Tucker. She has always been drawn to him and he even kissed her once, almost a year ago, but she's never forgotten it even if her mom doesn't like him. Get ready with the tissue and be prepared to ugly cry when you read this. It absolutely broke me but I couldn't get enough.

Everything I have in this moment—in my life—is because of Rosie.

Life must go on. Even if it breaks my heart.

“I mean, I don’t think it actually happened just like that. Most things that happen don’t just happen, it’s usually a long build-up of smaller moments that lead up to that big moment, the one people say changes everything.”

“I thought God was supposed to be all powerful or whatever, and could do anything.”“You know, He probably can,” Dad says, and I can hear the smile in his voice. “But I imagine that sometimes He doesn’t, because maybe we need to go through it. Just like sometimes when a kid crashes on his bike, the parents can’t run to him right away, they need to see if he’ll get up on his own to prove to himself that he is strong, that he’s okay.” I don’t want to have to prove that I’m strong.

We weren’t supposed to only have part of forever—he made me feel like we would last forever. It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

“Loving her made me who I am. And because I love her, I get up and I sing.

I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving my honest review voluntarily.
