Forever Jack continues the story of Jack Eversea and Keri Ann Butler that began in Eversea. Seven months after Jack left Butler's Cove to go back to Audrey and 5 months after he learned the truth in California, Keri Ann is creating her sea glass art and preparing to start art school in the Fall when Jack returns to Butler's Cove to try to get her back. 
 I liked the development of Keri Ann, through the second half of the book especially. She went from quiet, unassuming local girl, to someone able to stand on her own and rely on others more than she ever had in the past. I know, that sounds like a oxymoron, but she had to learn both, I promise. It should have irked me, all the back and forth she continued to do through much of this book, but each time she waffled, even if it was a backstep there was development in her character. She drove me nuts as often as I was cheering for her. 
 Jack? I think because the title is his name yet again, I figured we'd see more development of his character. He's still the same Jack and does work to prove himself to Keri Ann, but I didn't love him as much in this book as I did in the first. Something, and I can't quite put my finger on in unfortunately, just didn't click for me here. Maybe I wouldn't have the same hang up about him had I read the books back to back, with a couple weeks in between them something held me back from loving Jack as much this time around. 
 The story bounces between Keri Ann's voice and Jack's. It was nice to see what both were experiencing throughout the story, but maybe because of the focus on Keri Ann in Eversea, it didn't work as well for me having both perspectives. 
 Forever Jack had the highs and lows one would expect from a second chance story, the push and pull between two characters who love each other but fear the vulnerability that comes out of a relationship, and the cast of side characters to push and support the main ones. 
 Thanks to Natasha Boyd for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review.
