Ever After Always (Bergman Brothers #3) by Chloe Liese

What can I say, I’m hooked on the Bergman family. This book follows Freya and Aiden, the oldest daughter of the Bergman family and her husband of ten years, as they navigate re-learning how to communicate as they grow into the adults that they are now.

Though I spent a lot of the book wondering why these two people can’t just talk to each other, it does bring up a very valid point that people in relationships often rely on the communication styles they had when the relationship first began. It takes effort and determination to constantly check-in and readjust as the years alter each person’s trajectories.

There is some conversation about a healthy body image and the role the other partners’ attention and affection play in creating a confident outlook on yourself.

There is a discussion on the low points of anxiety and how reactive people can be in those situations.

There is a conversation about love and family, our expectations of our biological parents, and the joy of a found family.

Overall, this book did not disappoint. It was refreshing to read about a romance finding a new path, instead of a new one blossoming. -Sky
