Lucy and Cam <3
Review For TV Ever After First off there are a few items you will need on hand before More Than Forever: Tissues - and lots of them! Lucy and Cam will wreck you! A punching Bag- There are points within this book where I wanted to punch something so bad. A pillow- I may or may not have screamed into my pillow more than once while reading A friend- because when all is said and done, and you have gotten off the MTF roller coaster, you will definitely need a hug! Most of you who follow me on Twitter and have listened to our book podcasts, know that The More Series by Jay McLean is one of my absolute favorites. I fell in love with her writing in More Than This, Logan ripped my heart out in More Than Her and he became one of my top book boyfriends when he put it back together in More Than Him. Cam quickly made the top of that list as well. Since meeting Lucy and Cam in the very beginning, I knew I was going to love their story, More Than Forever. Lucy has dealt with a lot in her short life and after the loss of her mother, everything falls on her. She is strong and funny. She is selfless, especially when it comes to her brothers, who we get to see a lot more of in this book. (come on Jay give us a Luke book please!) Lucy is stuck in a place ay such a young age where she has to be the caretaker, however, no one is taking care of her.....until Cameron comes in and tips her world on its axis and becomes her calm in the storm. Cam is am amazing character. He is kind, loving, selfless and so swoon worthy throughout the book. Cam's love for Lucy is unwavering and his naivety at times when it comes to outside influences, is so real and believable. He lives with his mother, Heather (love her lol) and her boyfriend of forever, Mark, who I just adore (move over Dr. Matthews, there is new 'FILF' in town). Throughout the entire series the adults steal our hearts just as much as their children do! Lucy and Cam's story is told from the time they met (before More Than This) through present day and oh my what a story it is! In the beginning, the innocence of fifteen year old first loves is present and oh so adorable. We get to experience all of their firsts and they are told in the sweetest and most realistic way possible. Jay McLean has a way of writing that makes me feel like I am watching a movie in my mind as I read the pages of her books and with this one, it was the most vivid. I really felt like I was there with them as they fell in love, went to college and then had to deal with the outside world- people and situations of the heart breaking kind. Cam and Lucy will break your heart and then put it back together all through this story. There is a myriad of emotions, I as a reader went through while reading this book. There were laugh out loud funny moments (penisgate), the heartwarming interactions between Cam and Mark and plenty of ugly cry moments as well. There is a point in this book where Cam wrecked me. I meant pulled my heart out, face plant and scream in a pillow, punching the mattress, wrecked me. This book will make you feel. This book will make you believe in true love. This book will resonate and stay with you long after you read it. If I could give this book eleventy-three stars I would!
Young love
This was recommended in a group and I'm so glad I read it. I loved reading how Cameron fell in love with Lucy.. At the lowest point in young Lucy's life is when she meets Cameron and never looked back. I laughed and cried then I got ticked off then I could emphasize with Cameron!! Ok I laughed at Lucy with the vaginagate debacle!! 😂😂😂 And then the way they needed each other, so when they went to college and then life got the way. The stress of keeping a scholarship and internship was kicking Camps butt. Then not being able to see Lucy he's just not hacking it.. Then enter Roxy she took advantage of his stressed out life then not noticing how much he's creating problems for him. She knew exactly what she was doing and succeeded. The ending had me crying, I didn't see it coming! I loved this one!!
Best book ever !!!
This book is definitely in my "all time" top 5 reads. I have read this book so many times already, yet it never gets old. The reason I am so in love with it, is because it gave me so many feels.... One minute I was laughing and the next is was crying my eyes out. Laughing, crying, cursing, swooning...I loved every single second of it. Not only is this book one of my favorite m/f books ever...it also has one of my favorite couples in it. These two were the best !! So let me introduce you ;). Lucy is just a teenager (15) when her life completely changes, when her mother dies. She is trying her best to keep her family together, but everything is falling apart. She can't do it all by herself and thankfully, she doesn't have to. Because this is when Cameron comes in. Even at 15 years old, this boy stole my freaking heart. He is one of the greatest hero's I have ever read about. He is her little brothers baseball coach and he also goes to the same high school. He has seen Lucy aroud and he knows she is struggeling. From the moment he saw her, he knew that she was it for him and he tries his very best to be the rock that she needs... “I thought it was impossible to be able to laugh again. But he did it; he made my impossible, possible” It was so beautiful seeing these two falling in love. It was so sweet, but it was also so funny !!! I loved that they experienced all their first together !! What I also loved about this book was the supporting cast. Cam's mother was amazing, but it was his stepdad Mark that blew me away...what a great man !!! These two might have been young when they started their relationship, but they knew exactly what they were feeling and what they wanted. It was awesome watching them grow older and Lucy... she was my kind of girl. A book geek with a big mouth !! But when they get older...things aren't always so easy anymore. They go of to collage and hat's when the troubles start. My heart broke into a million pieces reading about them struggeling. I know Cameron didn't mean to, but he still broke her heart.....and mine. I didn't hate him though...I could never hate him. “And at her words, I release her. Because the last thing I ever wanted was to hurt her.” But....and this is why I love Cam sooooo much....he doesn't give up. He will never give up on Lucy. These two are real soulmates, I don't think one would be able to survive without the other.... “There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured. A heart so strong it will never slow. There is a promise so sure it can never lie. And we promise that love forever. Forever and always” If I could give this book 10 stars...I would !!!!
More Than Perfect
Since I first started reading More Than This last summer, I've been waiting and expecting to read the story of Cam and Lucy. I've been eagerly waiting for More Than Forever to come out for what feels like ages ( when in fact I just had to wait a year) because I needed this book in my life. With all this need and desire to read the fourth book in the More Series, a lot of expectations were made and as you know as readers when you have high expectations in a book, you are usually left down. But this was not the case for me, Jay McLean gave me everyhting I was expecting and more! The story of Cam and Lucy starts in High School, which was a delightful surprise because after reading the teasers Jay posted in facebook about the story I thought the High School moments were flashbacks as she did in More Than Her and More Than Him. I really loved seeing their love evolve from friendship to LOVE. Their love was so unexpected, so fierce, it reached my heart so deep that I felt their hurt, their happiness. I was left broken, laughing, aching but above all LOVING. I've always been Team Jake but after getting to know Cam better I am Team Cam forever ever!! He is handsome, caring, supportive, athletic, smart and he unders Lucy's love for reading, he just perfect for me xD On the other hand, Lucy is smart, funny, pretty, caring, she is strong for her family and loves deeply. Cam and Lucy are my faourite couple undoubtedly. I love Jay's writing style and with the passing of books she has improved it. Fast paced narrative, easy to read, you get into the characters mind without difficulty and the time reading the book goes by easily. Can't wait to read More Than Enough, the next book in this wonderful series.
Leaves you breathless
I doubt that my words can do this story justice. Remarkable love. Beautiful love. Leaves you breathless. If you have read this series then you know of Cam and Lucy. If you haven't read the series, then please read the other books before you read this one. At just 15 Lucy was left to take care of her little brothers because her mom died and her dad is just too broken up to really take care of things. That should grab you right there. Imagine at 15 taking care of siblings!!! She had no life. Cam fell for her and was always there to help her. It took Lucy a bit to fall for Cam but when she did it was magical. I was heartbroken for her because she seems to have the world on her shoulders. We go through firsts with Cam and Lucy. First kiss. First love. First time. I didn't feel as if I was reading about teens. They seemed so mature. Thank goodness Cam's mom and her boyfriend Mark (who I think was my favorite character) were there for them. They helped in so many ways. The first part of the book is about their teen years, and the second part is about their college years. I love all of the characters in the book excluding Roxy. She is such a skank! This book takes your breath away. It will take over your life until you finish. I could feel their love and their heartbreak as their story unfolds. Make no mistake, you will be put through an emotional roller coaster. You will want to scream at Cam and push Lucy to fight harder. But, Cam and Lucy have the kind of love that everyone wants. I read this as I was coming home from vacation. I tried to silently cry in the car so my family wouldn't see me. I don't know if I succeeded or not, but this book will cause you to ugly cry. No cliffhanger. Thank you Jay McLean for writing the story of Cam and Lucy. Total book hangover!
This might be my favorite Jay McLean book!
More Than Forever started out as a cute coming of age romance. It was more along the lines of a sweet YA contemporary romance. Cameron was the perfect friend and boyfriend that would do anything for Lucy. I loved the interactions between the young lovebirds and their parents. They were so funny and adorable. Then, slowly, Lucy and Cameron’s relationship matured along with them and More Than Forever became a beautiful New Adult romance. While it was still sweet and incredibly funny, there was now the angst and a sexual relationship as well. Lucy and Cam’s sexual relationship was one of my favorite parts of the story. In the beginning, it felt honest and true to real life. As time went by, it was sexy and funny — just like it was reading about them in previous books. As for the angst, at times I wanted to yell at Cam for being so blind and at Lucy for not truly seeing Cam. I ached for them as they dealt with the problems they faced. I wanted them to make it. The love they shared was so special. Obviously, I loved More Than Forever. I thought More Than This was my favorite in the series, but More Than Forever stole its place in my heart. It was sweet, funny, steamy and most of all emotionally loaded. I would highly suggest reading More Than Forever and the entire More Than series. I loved the way all of the books tied together and that I got to see not just the romances bloom but the friendships as well. I can’t wait for the next book More Than Enough to come out. I hope it’s Heidi and Dylan’s story!
Love and Hope are forever
This is a reread review and I still give this book 5 stars. I remember reading Lucy and Cam's story the first time and thinking, "Lucy is my Spirit Animal." And she still is. I relate to the introverted book geek girl whose filter vanishes when she is drinking. You never know what will come out of thy mouth. Jay captured that awkward young teen first crush and love so accurately, to the point that you will laugh your butt off with Penisgate and Vaginagate. When you read this book you will feel sad, then laugh your butt off, cry, gasp, cry some more, laugh again, and then you will smile with a warmth in your heart and Hope in your soul.
Lucy and Cameron!
Lucy and Cameron’s story is heartbreakingly beautiful! Lucy and her 6 brothers lose their Mum and Cameron is there for them every day trying to help Lucy with the load any way he can. They fall in love young and hard, but it’s not all smooth sailing. I love Lucy’s character, she is strong yet fragile, loves reading and is so funny sometimes! Cameron is the type of guy every girl would wish for, loving and supportive. “You said you could ask her what made her happy, and she could say books—but the answer wouldn't be enough. You told me you wanted to know what type of books, and you wanted to be the one to give them to her. And even then, you said, it still wasn't enough for you. You said you wanted to be her reason for loving books. You said you wanted to be her reason for everything.”

More Than Forever “She reads, and I read her. And that's how I spend the next few weeks. Each day, she speaks a few more words to me, and each day I find myself caring more than I should.” This is book 4 in the 'More Than' series and it has officially taken prime position as my favourite! I have loved all of the other characters since we first met them in book 1, but Lucy has always been a favourite as she was such a spitfire, loved reading and always had hilarious comments and anecdotes! (sidenote: I actually laughed out loud whilst reading this book when everyone had a conversation about different names for vaginas.. too funny!) More Than Forever does not however, begin from the end of book 3, where Lucy and Cam had already been together for 4-5 years - reverting back to when they were both 15 years old and Lucy was on the verge of losing her mother. Cameron comes into her life when everything was about to change for Lucy and he notices her before she even realises and is immediately drawn to her. “Is your sister ... uh... hearing impaired?" "She's just reading.” Whilst Cam was only 15, he had the biggest heart and not only supported Lucy through losing her mother, but her father and her (six!) brothers too. He was such a great guy/ character and the author wrote him so well. He perfectly complemented Lucy. (sidenote: Everytime i read the name Cam, i changed it in my head, to Chris as my brother's name is Cameron and it just made it awks!) The book catalogues the characters from early innocence into many years of their relationship, to love and through turmoil. It was a slow burn and it all felt really natural. What i loved about this book is that even through times of struggle and sadness, i never once doubted both characters true feelings and love for each other. None of that juvenile back and forth stuff, we knew they were meant to be and that's what we got. I thank for the author for that! Again i can't speak highly enough about how much i love all the side characters, from the previous books - Mikayla and Jake, Logan and Amanda, Heidi - the parents, especially Cam's 'stepdad' Mark and Lucy's brothers. He was fantastic. I loved that this wasn't the usual book where it seems as if there are never any parentals! Whilst there was definitely a few very sad moments for a bit there, More Than Forever was a beautiful story and i'm glad to have read it. Definitely recommend! “You still make my world stop, Luce.”
Forever Perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Completely, totally, absolutely, thoroughly- EVERYTHING. That is pretty much my feelings as I read More Than Forever. And after. It was completely, totally, absolutely, thoroughly PERFECT. Every up and down, every raw emotion, every joy and pain. It was the perfect story of meeting and falling and healing and being and living!!! It was completely- adorable It was totally- swoon worthy It was absolutely- breathtakingly beautiful It was thoroughly- enjoyable This is the type of book that if you and when you start you won't be able to put it down. Even when you are done you won't want to part with it. If I started this at midnight I would be up all night without stopping and would care less how sleep deprived I was the next day. It would be worth it. It's the type of book that hits all your senses. I used so much tissue when I cried at sad things and I cried when it was so hysterically funny that the tears were falling out! There has never been a more perfect hero for a heroine. Every kid and even man needs to take pointers from Cameron. How he 'man'ed' up for Lucy, that boy just knew. He knew she needed him and he wanted her. At 8% I was ready to give this a 5 star rating. Sometimes you just know when you have perfection in your hands. This book here is why 5 stars is not enough. At 20%, I was way past a 5 star. Even at 60 & 70% when my heart was dripping with sadness, it was still a phenomenal 5 star read. How about this? Can I give Lucy 5, Cameron, 5 Jay 5 :) and Cameron's mom and OMG Mark...see they deserve 5. I'm thinking 100 STARS is a good place to start!!!
