ARC Review of Suddenly Forbidden by Ella Fields

Suddenly Forbidden by Ella Fields
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Suddenly Forbidden is about two friends, Quinn and Daisy who grew up together as young kids. They started off as friends and then those feelings changed to something more, feeling that end up becoming deeper yet things end up getting all messed up and things don’t work out as planned for Quinn and Daisy. Daisy and her family end up having to move away and the promises that the young lovers made when they were still young ended up broken.
2 years on, Daisy is at college and she is at “their” college, hoping to see Quinn, ready to fulfill the promise of attending the college they picked to attend when her heart is broken completely for she has realized Quinn has totally moved on without her while she had all these big plans and now she has nothing left. Not only has he moved on without her but he betrayed her in the most painfully way in the moving on part. My heart broke for Daisy when she is confronted with the scene that she sees. No one should ever have to see what she saw… immediately the tears started for me and this is how masterful the writing is of Ella Fields –she immediately had me on #TeamDaisy . I wanted to castrate Quinn but the story wasn’t in anyway over. There is all these questions as to why didn’t Quinn try harder to reach Daisy or why didn’t Daisy attempt to reach out to Quinn…ahhh my heart couldn’t handle these burning questions but onwards I continued to read.
Daisy starts on this dark path of despair, depression, heartbreak and pain as she tries to cope with the loss of Quinn but she has this wonderful new college roommate Pippa who is a godsend by listening and by showing her that not all is over, that she needed to move on. Daisy was on the edge because she was seeing Quinn everywhere so what is a girl to do? How does one handle the fact he is not with her anymore , that he is with someone else? That he is forbidden fruit? She tries to move on and go on a new path and just when she thinks things are turning the cornor, things are flipped sideways again. OMG This was insane, I literally was screaming at my kindle. Quinn and his feelings about Daisy had me going nuts over and over- watching them find their way back to each other was an emotional rollercoaster ride –I think I drank more, cried more, screamed more , laughed more with this book than with any other of late. I seriously enjoyed every emotion, every FEEL that I had and I didn’t know how I would end up feeling. I just remember praying that by the end, I wanted Daisy and Quinn to get their HEA.
And on a side note, I look forward to Pippa’s story because Daisy’s college roommate was just an awesome breath of freshness that added that added color to this story.
