From USA Today Bestselling author Tiffany King
Kassandra Cole has it all--a stable home with great parents, popularity and all the friends she could ever need. She is used to a lifestyle where everything comes easy to her, from good grades to being captain of the cheerleading squad.
Her entire world is shaken to the core when a fatal accident takes her father, causing Kassandra to re-examine the course her life was on. The actions of one individual forever changes her life, leaving her to pick up the pieces of her broken family. Kassandra begins to question everything she once cherished and the people she disappointed along the way.
Maddon Johnson's life is as different from Kassandra's as night and day. Abandoned by his mother at a young age, he is left to deal with his abusive, alcoholic father on his own. He has one goal, lay low and get the heck out of dodge as soon as he is legally old enough.
Everything changes when his father's tragic actions send Maddon crashing into Kassandra's world. Suddenly, getting away is the last thing he wants as he discovers it is possible to believe in love after all.

If you lost a loved one, then
this book is for you. Forever Changed is a story about loss, forgiveness,
moving on and finding love and happiness amidst the storm. It all started when
Kassandra's father died in a car accident. I haven't finish Chapter one yet but
I'm already in the verge of tears. It was truly heart breaking. I could feel
the pain and the heavy burden she was carrying. It felt real.
What happened to Kass family
was life changing. I must say that it was an eye-opener. She was living in a life where
everything comes handy. But when her father died, everything changed. She
evolves from a girl who's bitchy and selfish to a mature and more responsible
teenage lady. She gave up something she loves the most for the sake of her
family. She turned her back to the popularity she used to have and to her
so-called friends who apparently bailed her out for being so dramatic for
losing her father.
Then came along Maddon Johnson.
The son of the infamous man who causes the tragic accident that killed Kassandra's
father. She loathed him but it changed when they finally got the chance to know
each other. They fell in love. It was a forbidden and against all odds, but
they fought for it. I remembered, Kassandra's questioning herself if it’s
possible to fall in love with just a week, I say it is! I always believe in
love at first sight.
Before I forget, I want to
point out Drake and Carrie. I love them! They are carefree individuals. I love
how they treat each other. I find them cool that I wanted to join them and have
some fun. They are the friends who will stab you in the front but will never
ever leave you.
I love everything about this
novel especially the strong characters that Ms. King made. I love how they
evolved from the start of the story to the end. They both change their habits
for the better and I admired Kass for being strong and Maddon for being man
enough and doing the right thing. What happened to them wasn't easy but I'm
glad they surpassed it.
Before I end this, I would like
to share these things that I've learned while reading Forever Changed. It
pretty summarizes the thoughts I had for this book.
1. LIFE IS SHORT. It may sound
cliché, but its true. So live your life to the fullest. Show everyone you love
how much you appreciate, care and love him or her. Make them feel special.
NEVER EVER take them for granted cause you'll never know what will happens
next. Don't make yourself regret for not doing the right things and for letting
the time slipped away and the words be left unsaid.
2. HARD TIMES WILL ALWAYS
REVEAL YOUR TRUE FRIENDS. Choose your friends wisely. Find friends who will
never let you down. Someone who will be there for you through ups and downs.
The one who will accept you for who you are. The one who will understands you
and will never judge you no matter what.
3. DON'T BE AFRAID OF CHANGE.
Find yourself and define it on your own terms. Avoid fixating on your past and
let yourself grow, it will help you to improve and become wiser. Stop caring
about what people might say about you, after all you are not born to please
them, just shrug and leave it at that, people will eventually respect you for
it.
4. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG IN
ASKING HELP. Reach out to others for support. Don't try to get through hard
times on your own. Seek help to people who have been through the same thing as they can be
especially helpful. Surround
yourself with people who are positive and will listen to you.
And lastly, LIFE GOES ON. Life
can be so hard at times. It can make you or break you. It will wear you out but
you need to find strength and keep moving forward. Open your heart and trust
that everything happens for a reason. Walk through the pain and don't be afraid
of falling, it is just a test of determination and resolve. Life is a cycle. It
will not stop for you. At the end of the day, no matter what you've been through, it will continue to go on.
Over all, Forever Changed is
amazing. And I'm telling you guys that it’s worth your time. I definitely
recommend this gorgeous read. I'm sure you will love it as much as I do. It
maybe an ordinary story for some, but people, you will surely get something
from it. There's something about Tiffany King's writing skills that you will
find comfort and leaves you wanting and begging for more.
I gave this book a
