I’m in love with two men.
But I can only marry one.
And today is my wedding day.
The bridesmaids button my wedding dress. They titter excitedly as the music begins. My groom is waiting for me. I walk down the aisle prepared to say I do. All according to plan.
Except for the shout from the back of the room, “I object!”
I should have known it couldn’t be that easy. After fourteen years of push and pull, neither of them is going to let me go. We’re a trio that should have never been. Me and Cole and Ash. One that I’m to marry and one that
I’m to leave behind.
Now, once and for all, I have to choose: my groom or the man objecting?
But until then…hold the forevers.

My Review:
The story starts off with a wedding and it’s with one man objecting that changes everything for Lila Greer. She knows that she has to marry one, even if she is in love with both of them. Then we go back in time, where she is in college and meets Cole Davis. He represents her present, gives her hope for a new beginning after recovering from a bad break up. Cole is there for her when she needs him and she sees herself being with him in the future. But then she is reminded that her past is right behind her as she gets a text from the one that broke her heart, Ash Talmadge. Having met in high school, she wasn’t expecting for the popular guy at school to notice her, until he does. His family might be wealthy, but he never makes her feel any less and their love for classic books is just one of the many things that they have in common. He is her first and Lila wonders if he might just be her forever as well. As years go by, it will take a turn of events for Lila to finally make a decision that will change all three of their lives forever.
I don’t tend to gravitate to love triangle romances often, but when I read the synopsis of this book I was hooked. Having read other books by Linde before, I knew that she was going to deliver a story full of substance and all the feels! She was able to create a relatable story and as readers we are able to see how Ash and Cole change her life at different points in time. There is a lot of back and forth when it comes to time in the story that was a bit difficult to keep track of in the beginning, but I got used to it very quick. It’s because of the strong feelings that she has developed for both of them that she has trouble deciding who is the best for her. It’s a rollercoaster of events that make her see who is right for her at the very end. It all happens really fast, that I wish the one she rejected would have fought back, but at the same time her decision does makes sense at the end. Overall, I was happy to read the extra epilogue, Hold On Forever, it truly brings everything to a full circle and it makes the story so much better. I would highly recommend checking out Hold the Forevers and any other books by the author, you will not regret it. :)
