Never Always Sometimes
Never Always Sometimes | Adi Alsaid
Never date your best friendAlways be originalSometimes rules are meant to be brokenBest friends Dave and Julia were determined to never be clich high school kidsthe ones who sit at the same lunch table every day, dissecting the drama from homeroom and plotting their campaigns for prom king and queen. They even wrote their own Never List of everything they vowed they'd never, ever do in high school.Some of the rules have been easy to follow, like #5, never die your hair a color of the rainbow, or #7, never hook up with a teacher. But Dave has a secret: he's broken rule #8, never pine silently after someone for the entirety of high school. It's either that or break rule #10, never date your best friend. Dave has loved Julia for as long as he can remember.Julia is beautiful, wild and impetuous. So when she suggests they do every Never on the list, Dave is happy to play along. He even dyes his hair an unfortunate shade of green. It starts as a joke, but then a funny thing happens: Dave and Julia discover that by skipping the clichs, they've actually been missing out on high school. And maybe even on love.

Didn‘t find it that remarkable, but an easy, fluff read for a day when I wasn‘t feeling well. Full review on GR.

LiteraryinPA Hope you feel better soon! But glad you found the right book at the right time. 💜 6y
wanderinglynn @LiteraryinLititz Thanks! ☺️ And I am feeling better. A day of sleeping and reading helped a lot. 6y
Crewgurl Agreed. 6y
KateFulfordAuthor If you need another recommendation, may I point you to my People‘s Book Prize nominated debut? Sassy female narrative, laugh out dialogue and a pacy plot. Check the link in the bio for 2 free chapters, reviews and more. 6y

This is a happy picture from last week. A perfect night- a book in one hand, bourbon in the other, and a cat on my lap.

Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

I won‘t say much because this is one of the books I am considering passing on for #TheBreakfastBookClub and I don‘t want to spoil it. (I‘ll put a review up on GR soon.) BUT it was a super cute story and a fast read. Give it a try!

StephanieGeiser

“Human beings are more or less formulas. ... We are not any one thing that is mathematically provable. We are more ‘more or less‘ than we ‘are‘ anything. ... We are more or less kind, or more or less not. More or less selfish, happy, wise, lonely. Just like things are rarely always true or never true, we aren‘t ever exactly one or another. We are more less.”

quote
StephanieGeiser

“Love was lazy as hell. Love laid around in bed, warm from the sheets and the sunlight pouring into the room. Love was too lazy to get up to close the blinds. Love was too comfortable to get up and go pee. Love took too many naps, it watched TV, but not really, because it was too busy kissing and napping. Love was also funny, which somehow made the bed more comfortable, the laughter warming the sheets, softening the mattress and the lovers‘ skin.”

TommieMarie74 Wow. Love this passage. 7y

“‘I do that, too,‘ a girl‘s voice said.

...

‘Do what?‘ he said.

‘Check out bookshelves at strangers‘ houses,‘ she answered, stepping up next to him and looking at the books as if to prove she wasn‘t lying. ‘I‘m usually a bit awkward in houses that I haven‘t been to before, so it‘s a way not to look weird. If I find something I‘ve read before it automatically makes me more comfortable.‘”

1.5/5. i hate love triangles. i thought this would be fun and different, but it was honestly just a cliché with immature characters. ugh.

blurb
janehreads

so far, i think that this book is incredibly unrealistic for a book about eighteen-year-olds. julia and dave are acting so clueless and i really don‘t much like this yet.

I really enjoyed this book! It was well written and full of love, laughter, and hints of reality. The ending was not what I expected. (That's all I'll say😉) For my full review and others check out my blog: www.bringpaperback.weebly.com

This book was definitely quite cute. I didn't love it as much as some other rom coms I've read, but it was still quite good
