A review by bookingwithjanelle
Never Say Never by Justine Manzano

3.0

I liked the premise of the book, but there were some aspects of it that I couldn't quite follow. This coming of age story was really relatable to me in a lot of ways. Not everyone is this picture perfect, cheerleader popular girl and we don't need to be.

I also understand the hardships & emotional rollercoaster that a teen can go through while they are discovering themselves and potentially fall in love while watching other love story fall apart. I think the book would have stood on its own without the "twist" of Aphrodite as a foster kid. It felt a little disjointed to me and not necessary.
