wow. “Never Ever You” was such an easy book to get stuck into. I really didn’t see the twist in chapter 5 coming, especially that early on, however that’s a positive as it kept me gripped. I have such a soft spot for Milo, (one of the characters) he’s nothing but sweet and genuine. I would have liked to see more of Milo and Riley’s relationship at the end, but other than that this book is amazing. Would definitely recommend.💜✨📚

I will be reviewing on Amazon also, when this book is released September 17th 🥳

I was 12 chapters in before I knew it. Off to read more now.

I was so excited when I started this; it was so promising.
I had my issues with this early on -
*you never really get to know Riley as a main character, to say nothing of her romantic partners and friends - this doesn’t delve deep into character and what character evolution there is, is lacking, imo - I found this too superficial to be a satisfying read
*jumping into a new relationship directly after the breakup of a marriage seems unhealthy and problematic to me and the storyline often reminded me of this thought

Unfortunately, the early excitement grew to discomfort the more I read this one. I wasn’t the right reader for this.

I’m rating this at 2 because it really caught my interest early on.



Thank you to Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for the DRC

I loved this author and this book had me from the start and I couldn’t put it down! I was a little disappointed in the ending and not getting any answers or understanding of why, but up until that, thw stprytelling was captivating

Thank you to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for providing this book, with my honest review below.

Time leap (both forward and revere in this case) novel of my dreams, Never Ever You was a delight to read! I’ve always loved novels with the premise of someone living through an alternate timeline or playing with the time in a novel and this one delivered on it flawlessly, being one of only two novels that truly did so with so much style that I’ve read this year (and I assure you, there have been many read).

Ex-model and now entrepreneur Riley is married and celebrating her first anniversary of beyond perfect bliss when she and her husband, Tristan, have a run in with many rude relatives, even coming to punches with Tristan’s cousin Milo. So when Riley wakes up to find herself almost a year in the future - now in a relationship with sarcastic and patronizing Milo, with Tristan in a relationship with his ex, complete with baby, Riley is desperate to find out what happened and go back to her perfect life. Riley quickly realizes that Tristan had to have been cheating on her to have a 9 month old baby but doesn’t understand how she got to this point. As she slowly lives her year in reverse she learns a lot about her own life but also develops confidence and a belief in herself that Milo already has.

This was beyond stellar, deserving every one of its five stars. The pace was perfect (which is saying something given we as readers already know the big things that came to pass and are reading in reverse) and the suspense was excellent, keeping me glued to this novel. Light at times, emotional at others, even tackling some racism, in general so satisfying. If you enjoy modern romances, premises about time travel, or just highly entertaining books - I guarantee you will adore this.

Never Ever You by S. Echavarre, published by Lake Union Publishing is awitty, funny rom/com of its finest. Twisty and emotional, literally unputdownable its the perfect summer read.
Riley's first wedding anniversary doesn't plays out like she planned at all.
Instead with her hubby Tristan she wakes up with her annoying cousin Milo by her side in bed and Tristan, the husband to another woman with a new baby.
There are lol moments just like what I can't believe that just happened and I greatly enjoyed reading this book.

I absolutely love these types of books. I’m so happy it’s a READNOW option. I’m so excited to go on this adventure and see if going back really does change things that are already meant to be, much more to come soon.
