If you're going to write a book about best friends being in love with one another and make it a huge mess (every YA novel ever?) then at least give me an ending with some closure. This book is 300 pages (I think) and we are in the same place we started except we aren't virgins anymore. Spoilers: because I can't express how stupid it all is without them.I went into this book knowing that Dave was going to be a lovesick puppy dog. I accepted it. I went on that journey from his perspective and accepted that he was in love with Julia (literally the worst human being on planet earth). I even found his crush/lust/instalove for Gretchen to not be vomit-inducing. Dave starts to move on and be okay with just being friends with his best friend, even gets himself a girlfriend, then he gets dragged back in because Julia is the worst human being on the planet.The Julia section was thankfully short-lived. And because I liked Dave and wanted to see him happy, you get all the feelings when they finally sleep together. And awesome, since he is in a relationship with someone else, there will be a different approach to how this will play out. There's some good angst and growth (Julia stops being the worst for a little bit there) and Dave and Julia call it quits after a week of sex because their relationship is tainted by Dave's feelings for Gretchen.All of this is plausible and I wasn't even mad until the end. Something that got this messed up, this quickly, will not fix that easily. Gretchen- who was previously cheated on- would not get back together with Dave, no matter how sweet he is. He slept with his best friend who he was in love with for 4 years. It is going to happen again (anyone who says differently is a liar). You do not come back from that. Also: They're seniors in high school, so this relationship is going to flame out by August anyway, so what's the point of trying to resurrect it? Let. it. go.Brett's crush on Julia is stupid and unnecessary. Stupid and unnecessary.And you're kidding me with Dave and Julia patching things up so easily, right? Right? Oh, no, no you're not? Well, that's garbage. Yes, they're BFF and they love each other ("just not in that way") blah, blah, blah but neither of them has shown the emotional maturity to back-up what happens at the end of this book.Had Alsaid flash-forwarded to Dave and Julia going into their senior year of college after three years of separate growth (read: three years of Julia figuring out how to not be the worst and Dave figuring out what he deserves) and they realize that they are MFEO then I would've been down. But no, we're going to play the "we love each other but we aren't meant to love each other that way" card and it's just not satisfying or realistic or frankly, a story worth telling.
I give this 4 to 5 stars. I think this is the first novel I've read by this author but I will most definitely be reading more. It was well written, kept my attention, and I was satisfied with the ending.I'm no longer considered a young adult so I can't say whether they were realistic as teens but I found the story relatable. I didn't always agree with what decisions the characters made but we all make mistakes. I will say though that Dave isn't necessarily the most like-able character. I feel like he was forgiven too easily. Also, Julie could be a little selfish. What's a story though if everyone is perfect all the time so to me it was realistic.Rating: PG-13 (lots of profanity, characters have sex but nothing is described so it's not graphic.)
Teens will see a bit of themselves in Dave, Julia, Gretchen and Brett. In this book, Adi Alsaid really gets teens (their highs and lows, their quirks, their isms) and for the teens that pine for others and do not do anything about it, Dave and Julia's friendship throughout high school with their Nevers list is reading they will love. Dave is such a nice guy, nice, genuine, caring. I wanted to love Julia but Adi Alsaid did such a great job showing how much Julia said and did was predicated on her very absent mom. It was so sad (Dave sees this) every time Julia's mom disappoints her and yet Julia yearns for a mom but gets a lukewarm long distance relationship from a selfish mom. So this broken connection made Julia self-centered, snarky, out there and unrealistic about many things. I couldn't put this book down; the romance, the wanting, the ache, the yearning make for a novel teens with be reading and sharing with each other.

What I liked: I liked how the author told the story from two different points of view and I feel like switches between one voice and another were perfectly timed. I also felt the book was well written and had a good pace to it. And I got such a laugh out of the poem Julia writes about math - that right there took some serious creativity on the authors part.What I didn't like: I hated how the book ended. I won't say anything more for fear of giving something away, but not the ending I personally would have wanted although I think I know why it ended the way it did.
Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Teen for the arc of Never Always Sometimes by Adi Alsaid! This charming book begins on a cheerful, hopeful note of two teenagers trying to stay unique as they enter high school. They write a Never's list of cliches that they don't want to take part in. Fast forward to senior year of high school beginning with Dave's story. Julia and Dave have a wonderful friendship, but they believe their relationship won't go any further. The two of them start working on completing the Never's list by taking part in all of the cliches. In the meantime, Dave hangs out with Gretchen and they become more than friends. Life becomes more complicated for the three of them, but eventually works out. I'm very impressed with the writing, the characters and the humor which made me chuckle too many times to count.
This book depicts the typical teen plot. Anxious, unpopular high school boy secretly pines for a bubbly, cute classmate.While some parts were quite funny and comical, the overall book was too cliche. It was a tad cyclical and repetitive- the main character is indecisive and, at times, frustrating.If you don't mind a mundane read, buy this book. But if you are looking for something a tad more exciting, keep searching!
I read this book because I have read Let's Get Lost by the same author. It was nteresting enough to keep my attention and make me want to read it, but at times I found myself getting annoyed by the repetitiveness of the characters thoughts. I did enjoy this book, but I did not LOVE it.
It took me a while to get into the story, but once I did I really enjoyed it.
