FOR EVER MY GIRL ONLINE FULL
Writing at night and holding down a full time job while helping raise two daughters, McLaughlin's also not living the rock star life. She's written a number of stories in the Forever series, including a sort-of sequel to Forever My Girl called Finding My Forever, that follows Liam's son (now an adult) on his own emotional journey to find love. "I try to bring a little bit of both homes into my books, whether it’s the scenery, small towns or the coast," she said. In an interview with Huffington Post, she admitted both places feature heavily in her work.

McLaughlin, author of the book the movie is based on, is a Pacific Northwest gal who settled in Vermont - possibly the farthest away from a Southern upbringing you can get (especially temperature-wise). Keeping in touch with her roots also doesn't seem to require running away - from the looks of her Instagram, you can take the girl out of the country, but you definitely can't take the country out of the girl:īehind-the-scenes, in my preferred director's chair. Ashton Wolf, director of several independent films, has been married to CMT host and comedian Josh Wolf for 13 years, writing several screenplays, adopting dogs, and raising her family in the meantime, as her social media shows. Neither director and screenwriter Bethany Ashton Wolf nor book author Heidi McLaughlin would know about that - both have happily integrated their work and family lives without the drama the fictional Liam's work is based on. But is Forever My Girl based on a true story? The country-fried romance has some roots in reality, but its main inspiration is as simple as it is surprising (and fictional).Īt the peak of his career, Liam has a hit song ironically about longing for his ex, the one he left behind for fame and fortune. When fate offers an opportunity for Liam to head back to his hometown and inspiration, he gets an icy reception from everyone.
Now in theaters, the new movie Forever My Girl explores the story behind that kind of song, opening with small-town girl Josie left at the altar, before introducing the man who left her, now-famous country singer Liam Page.
Country stations are full of sad songs about what could have been, what used to be, and the girl that got away.
