Grace

 I moved here to escape the devastation of giving up my track career. Except that means constantly running into…him. My brother’s best friend and teammate - who called our night together two years ago a mistake. 

I try to avoid him at first, but then he proves he’s more than the playboy jock I’d assumed. Now he’s showing signs he’s interested again, and I have to wonder: should I risk another chance with him?

 
Johnson
I blew it with her two years ago. And now she’s living here, going to the same events as me and coming to our games to cheer on her brother. Impossible for me to miss. 

Normally, I’d give it another shot but one thing hasn’t changed - she’s still my best friend’s little sister. I’m struggling to resist the draw to her, though. Could we explore our attraction in secret, without telling her brother?

It’s official, I’m in love with the Battles In Love series. I read Best Year Ever last year, and adored Landon and Rori’s story. However, I was curious about both Grace and Johnson since they were introduced in the first book, and I've been excited to read their story since Kylie announced it. Even though I loved Landon and Rori's book, I loved Grace and Johnson's story even more. I think that those two became one of my favorite couples. There's something about the two of them, and I think it's the connection that the two of them had, and how supportive they were of each other. Those two had me smiling most of the book. 

I love the title, Running After Forever, which fits the story perfectly. I liked the fact that the story features a runner. Although I’m not a runner like Grace, and I do it primarily for fun, I feel like I could relate to the joy she got from running. I did worry about the two of them keeping a secret from Landon about what might happen if he found out before they got a chance to tell him. I liked how Grace and Johnson’s relationship developed throughout the book. I also liked reading from both Grace and Johnson’s perspectives. 

I like the way Kylie describes everything, especially sports. Even if you're not into sports, the way she explains everything will be easy to understand. Both Grace and Johnson had outstanding character development in this book. This was one of those books where there wasn't a single scene that didn't keep my attention. I would read it in one sitting if not for school. I'm so glad I got to read this one. Kylie Skye is now my instant-read author; I can't wait for her next one.
