Katherine and Michael fall in love and decide to have sex.
Booktalk
Forever is about a girl named Katherine for falls in love with a boy named Michael. Katherine thinks Michael is her one and only and that they will be together forever. They decide to have sex. Then, Katherine goes off to camp and meets a guy named Theo and starts to have feelings for him. In the end Katherine and Michael break up and they are not together forever.
This is a great novel for teens to read so they realize that forever might not actually be forever. Having sex with someone is a very special and important event that should only be done with the person you know you are going to spend your life with (aka spouse, unfortunately with the divorce rate that's not always forever either). I thought the novel was cute and had a good message, but it was a quick read and I felt like it needed more substance.
