It took me awhile to finish this book. When I started it, I kind of had a slump, therefore I didn't get through with it right away. But thankfully I had a 4 hour flight and I tried so hard to not freak out inside the plane when I read the last page. 
 Before I get into detail, special shoutout (well no not really because of this girl, my life's destroyed... AGAIN) to my main boo Vivy for recommending Forbidden to me! Guys she literally told me to read this book back in 2015 lol I'm only a year behind. ;) 
 But anyways, review time! 
 To start off, I would just like to say... WOW to Tabitha! Her writing style is truly one of a kind. By just reading the first line, I already knew that this book was going to be as deep as the Atlantic Ocean. Emotions came out in each page; whether it was sadness, joy, anger or even pain, Tabitha made sure that she used the exact word for it. 
 Assuming you read the blurb for this book, it's obvious that the main issue in the story is incest. This isn't a spoiler ok? At first, I'll admit, I was hesitant to read a story about a brother and his sister, falling in love. I don't know how I'll say this to make all of you believe or understand me, but this book opened my mind to things. It took "love" to a whole new level. To clear things up though, I'm not saying that I'm in favor of incest after reading this book. Not saying that at all. It's just that when I read it, I couldn't help but think of the what if's. I'm actually happy that such a book exists because it points out the harsh reality of our world, of how our society relies too much on generalizations, stereotypes and prejudices. 
 Going to the story, Lochan and Maya are 2 teenagers placed in a difficult situation. Growing up with an asshole of a mom, (sorry not sorry), they were forced to grow up quickly and raise younger children together. It's as if life took a toll on the both of them and it challenged the two on how to handle things, eventually making them care and love for each other. 
 I swear do not open this. You'll kill me if you do. Move on now. Read the book and come back. Okay? Okay. 
 (view spoiler)[ LOCHAN COMMITTING SUICIDE SURPRISED THE HELL OUT OF ME. I mean I knew that somehow, another peson would figure out their relationship with one another but for him to actually go to prison and kill himself.... WHY DID YOU KILL LOCHAN, TABITHA. WHY. It was obvious that they wouldn't get their happy ending easily but damn it, I didn't know it was going to be /this/ bad. It was literally a buzz kill for me and I felt so pathetic after. Thanks, Vivy. Thanks a lot. (hide spoiler)] 
 This book inspired me to write a book talk about it on my blog, so hopefully it will be up real soon! And I was 39,000ft above ground so I felt extra sentimental lol. I'll keep you guys posted!! 
 SO YEAH, Forbidden by Tabitha Suz.... it's one heck of a read. I recommend it to ya'll, if you want a story that's somehow refreshing because it's not something you see all the time.
