Hiatus Watch: Forever

A romantic trope that's always popular is friends-to-lovers which seems to be the focus for this TV series, Forever. It's based on the book of the same name by Judy Blume (which I plan to read) and the show looks like it has an interesting story of young love and how the two characters are dealing with it.

And since they were friends first, how will adding love and romance change that? And if their romantic relationship doesn't work, can they go back to being friend? And since they're teens still trying to figure out life as well as themselves, is this first love simply that or is it something much more long lasting? Maybe I'll get the answers to some of my questions when I watch it. By the way, Forever has already been renewed for a second season, that's fantastic to hear.
