What do you do when two sexy, smart, twin brothers are in love with you and you aren’t sure who to choose?!
Robyn Bloom has a super close circle of friends she’s grown up with throughout her life; Freya, Eliot, Will and Ash. Robyn was dating Ash, the funny, self centered twin until he became a commitment phobe and took off for Australia, leaving his twin brother Will to deal with the mess he made.
Robyn and her friends start a never have I ever club to try and get back out there, after grieving her break up for 8 months; only to start living life again and falling for the other twin, Will; who is kind, thoughtful, sexy and a doctor.

This was such a fun rom com. The British slang used always makes me chuckle. I think bloke and knackered have become my new favorite words. Will was such a sweet guy, my heart broke for him. I love Aunt Fliss, I want to be her when I grow up! I totally recommend this cute book.

Mary Jayne Baker is proving to be a Queen of romantic comedy, let me tell ya!
I've been enjoying books by Miss Mary Jayne and couldn't resist when I saw this book floating around on NetGalley. Because it's so good, I even bought myself a copy too! I can't get enough of these super sugary sweet romantic comedies because they are just so feel good! And full of laughs! Man, it's been a long time since I've been able to consistently find romantic comedies that have me giggling!
So, we have this group of friends who named their little get together group. The Marry, Shag, Kill Group became so many other titles, but finally settled on The Never Have I Ever Club! So a new group is formed and is gonna try to do something new that they always wanted to try! A fair amount of these folks are elderly, and we all know they will have time left in life to learn. This all came about though because Robyn's ex broke up with her, and now she appears to be falling for his twin brother, Will. Did I mention Will's a hot doctor? That totally helps.
This adorable pair slowly begins to fall for each other, and they lean on each other in tough times. They are quite the pair! I liked watching this slow burn romance develop over time, to be brutally honest. It was a great change from the sudden love at first sight books I've been picking up recently.
There's so many fun pop culture references in this book that it has me grinning. Honestly, I think these books are just a barrel full of fun (or monkeys, whatever quote you want, really).
My only potential negative is that this book could be a little bit shorter and the story wouldn't have changed. But, that's just my opinion! I still think the book is an absolute delight and it doesn't affect my enjoyment at all.
If you like romantic comedies, this is a fun book to pick up! It's a laugh out loud funny kind of book with a wonderful friendship growing into romance trope that will melt your heart away. I couldn't get enough of this book and I know I'll be following Mary Jayne Baker in the future because I think her books are just fantastic. I am definitely in her reader base! What a talent!
Four out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Aria for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

I recommend this book if you like:
-contemporary
-slow plot
-minimal romance
I would describe this as an easy, light read. Robyn and the twins Will and Ash are the main characters of this story. We see a love triangle with lots of drama, moral dilemmas and side stories.
This book wasn't bad, it just isn't the genre for me.

Thank you NetGalley for my advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this as a light beach read. Robin’s character is relatable as she’s questioning what she’s doing with her time as everyone around her reminds her she’s only getting older. The cast of (mostly elderly) villagers are entertaining as they follow their quests for adventure, trying burlesque dancing and massages, and serve as a reminder to seize the day and try new things. I appreciated the character growth as brothers Will and Ash mature in how they care about others and communicate with one another.
The conversations and characters kept me smiling throughout so I’d recommend picking this one up for a light summer read when it publishes on June 18!

Whilst the premise of The Never Have I Ever Club was good, I just felt that the story was a bit flat. Nothing much really happened other than Robyn or 'Bloomy' as Will calls her, fretting about her ex boyfriend Ash (and frequently telling him to fuck off) and her conflicting feelings for his identical twin brother, the village doctor who seems to blur many lines - Will.
Will, Ash and Robyn came across as very young, even though they were all in their mid thirties - with a lot of sobbing and bending down to catch peoples eyes - it wasn't a terrible book, I did manage to finish it, but I think that was mainly due to the supporting cast - especially Eliot and Freya, and Fliss and the Brigadeer.
Some of the activities that The Never Had I Ever Club patricipated in were pretty fun to read about, Fliss's hen was a highlight, I just felt that there was quite a bit of needless bad language with no real point and a lot of repetition in the story.
Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a gifted copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
