Thank you #NetGalley for an early copy of #NeverEverGettingBackTogether by #SophieGonzales to read and review! (Spoiler Free!)
I really loved this super cute and wholesome YA love story, and I think you will too!
Pros:
• Wholesome, enemies-to-lovers content
• Quick read
• Queer Love story between two canonically bi characters (they both identify as bisexual)
• The slow destruction of the ex-boyfriend (who was actually quiet terrible and gas-lighting them the whole time)
• This is the kind of book I wish I had has as a young adult and trying to navigate my sexual identity.
Cons:
• I see a lot of people who want to read this, also have several other Queer/Sapphic books on their TBR that lean more toward the spicy side. This is not a spicy book! For me, that’s not a con at all as I’m not a huge fan of spicy books. But I also understand that is a big draw for a lot of people.
• The ending felt very rushed.
• I’m not a big fan of miscommunication (or lack of communication) as a trope, and this book’s major climax kind of hinges on miscommunication. Not so much so that it’s hard to overlook for someone like me, but I’m listing it in the con territory regardless. To be fair though, who is actually a good communicator as a young adult? So really, maybe this is just realistic to the age group!
As always, these are just my own opinions! Over all, this is a wonderful Sapphic love story that is cute, adorable, quick and easy to read, and just perfect for a casual reader!
