A Forever Kind of Thing by Carrie Thomas and Melinda Harris – Review by Trisha Cargile

A Forever Kind of Thing by Carrie Thomas

I’m a sucker for a great young adult story, and this one definitely didn’t disappoint. The story starts off as you would expect, an awkward, young teenage girl falls in love with the weird boy – both unpopular and lean on each other for love and acceptance. Then Mina, the young girl, learns a hard lesson many of us have endures; separation, loneliness, and heartbreak. She moves through these tribulations like a champ and her mother changes their whole world when she marries into money and moves, ultimately giving Mina a new chance at a new school with a new crowd, the popular kind. As fate would have it though, Wes comes back into her life many years later… but he was on the other side of this coin. He continued to grow up poor, in the foster system, and definitely not popular. When he shows up, Mina is faced with her past and who she used to be. Ultimately, as expected in a YA, this story ends positively and leaves you wanting more from these authors!
