This is a pretty staightforward plot. Benji and Shiloh want the same things: the affection of their schoolmates Portia and Toni, who happens to be Benji's twin sister and part of his plan of getting Portia to notice him. The challenge posed throughout the story centres around the lengths the boys will go to in order to get what they desire. I thought Shiloh's demands were interesting, and he, along with Benji, happened to be my favourite characters. They were likable and appeared to be the characters with the most depth.
4Ever Girl is a typical YA Contemporary Romance novel with all the charms of naive and unrequited young love, and as much as it was fun to see these characters trying to win each other over, the plot wasn't enticing enough to maintain my focus, thus I didn't really enjoy the story much. I skipped parts when it became a little too monotonous and whenever I felt the need to put the book down. It was just a little too predictable and not mentally challenging or engaging enough to satisfy my desire to be swept away.
Although I didn't like the story, I liked the writing style, so I would definitely read another work by this author. Unfortunately, 4Ever Girl was just okay for me.
VERDICT:
