Never Have I Ever: My Life (So Far) Without a Date
by Katie Heaney
There were a few moments in this book that made me laugh out loud. But they were few and I was expecting more of them. And so I was disappointed in this book. Never Have I Ever is the story of a 25 year old who has never had a boyfriend. I guess I thought that it would be a self deprecating tale of dating adventures. And although there were elements of that, it was just too....not whiney exactly....but too....uninteresting.
The book. Starts with Katie's crushes when she fives. And chronicles them through elementary school. And middle school. And high school. It was at middle school that I really started disliking the book. I mean, how many people had a stupendous love life in middle school? Me, personally, never want to relive those years. And it was painful to read about in another person - and not in a painful I can relate good sort of way.
The book did get better by the time Katie hit grad school. But then...well...the book was almost over. In a way this book was also about female friendships and the strong bonds that form. It would have been more interesting about that.
