"Never" is the sequel to "Always," but I'll admit I haven't read the first book. That didn't seem to matter, however, as the story reads well as a stand-alone novel.

Lucas is madly in love and finds everything in his childhood sweetheart. All the while, Juliet is struggling with demons from the past and trying to move forward with Lucas who deals with issues with alcohol. Something big tears them apart at a young age to come back to each other and fighting to be together.

With its college setting and sexy, over-the-top drama, I found “Never” to be a totally absorbing read. The author does a great job of bringing Juliet and Lucas to life by revealing the flaws and insecurities that go hand-in-hand with growing up. I loved how the angsty couple was surrounded by an interesting cast of secondary characters.Overall, this was an authentic, well written coming of age novel – and a guilty pleasure that I had trouble putting down. Highly recommended!

it was good but confusing at points it made you fell what thee characters where felling but it also mad you get lost on some parts of the conversations it was interesting but the book was un organised it made me fell the righter didn't have a idea on what she was righting

A great read and I enjoyed reading it. It had you wanting to read on and you don't want to but the book down. It made me want to go on to Always by Ellery Rhodes which enjoyed also.

This book was the worst I've read in a very long time. And I read 2 to 3 books a week at least. The girl gets pissed over nothing and violently overreacts at everything. Their history is cute but they are not even close to being the love struck 14 year old kids they used to be. I kept wishingt boy would just dump her and move on. There were tons of side stories going on that went nowhere and didn't do anything to further getting us into their supposed love story. I found myself really wishing I had not wasted my time with this one. I was so bored I probably skimmed at least half the book just hoping to find "the good part" that never came.

Their obstacles were soooo stupid. Got into fights so easily over stupid stuff. Their feelings for each other was questionable. I really couldn't see why they were together. Juliet got on my nerves. Sometimes you would admire her but most of the time she got on my nerves. Lucas also got a bit annoying...in way I'm glad I spend¢0.99 that way I wouldn't have been left wondering if it was a good book. Tough I should've read the reviews...I didn't .got caught up in the ¢0.99 offer. I was desperate for a book... most of the book they spend fighting and there wad about 2 kisses in each book...that's how much they fought. but hey take it chances if u want...

This book continued seamlessly from the first book. It was heartfelt and emotional and the secrets revealed were so sad. Written with a passion and understanding of the issues raised. Definitely recommend this book but you must read the prequel first

Wonderful book and really enjoyed reading it, I found it so easy to get into the words just flow so easily from one page to the other. Thank you again and I hope you will be writing some more very soon.

After reading the first book I was so disappointed with the second one. I only finished reading the book as I hate not reading a book until the end also I paid for this book and didn't want to waist it.

Really loved the book and it finished nicely xxDefinitely worth a read xx the story is a love story which I don't normally go for but would read it again xx

I found this one a struggle to read it was good in places and boring in others but I am glad I finished it
