Goodreads Summary: When Betts meets Aiden at the candy store where she works, their connection is like a sugar rush to the heart. Betts already knows the two of them are infinite. Inevitable. Destined to become an us.
Betts has only ever kept one secret from her best friend, Jo, but suddenly there’s a long list of things she won’t tell her, things Jo wouldn’t understand. Because Jo doesn’t see how good Aiden is for Betts. She finds him needy. Possessive. Controlling.
She’s wrong. With a love like this, nothing else matters.
With the explosion of Bookstagram, often we really do reduce a picture to a thousand words! With that in mind, here are the six images that I think best represent Always Forever Maybe!
Betts works in a candy store, and it's where she meets Aiden. Several important conversations happen in the candy store. And who doesn't like gummies?
Aiden definitely has the bad-boy vibe down, complete with the motorcycle he built.
Betts and Aiden fall in love quickly. When things are good, they're great, and Betts feels like she and Aiden are the only people in the world.
Their relationship quickly changes. It's far too easy to fall into a trap of confusing emotional abuse with love. This book takes a look at difficult issues.
Tumultuous emotions can make you feel like you're alone. Betts has to take a long, hard look at her relationship and decide what love she is willing to accept.
This book wouldn't be complete without the friendships. Jo, who is Betts' best friend, is definitely the kind of friend any girl would be lucky to have.
