För alltid tillsammans av Julie Cohen är en av de bästa kärleksromaner jag läst. Svår att lägga ifrån sig och inget ”smet”. Berättelsen börjar i nutid och slutar i dåtid, men det är på det sättet hon fått romanen att fungera. Känns lite ovant men är ett genidrag och slutet var överraskande. Den handlar om Emily och Robbie som älskar varandra gränslöst, men ju längre bak i romanen vi kommer uppdagas hemligheter som också varit enorma svårigheter. LÄS!
