Never Ever Getting Back Together by Sophie Gonzales
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I absolutely SPED through this! Something about books based on reality shows almost makes you feel like you're watching one. And the best part is that you don't have to wait for the next week's episode - you can binge the whole book in one or two days.
I enjoyed the idea of the revenge plot. The female relationships (both good and bad) were a lot of fun and the author did a great job of building rage upon rage against Jordy, who was the absolute worst. I liked Maya and Skye's characters, but felt we could have got to know them each on a deeper level. One thing I didn't realize before reading was how young they were. For some reason, I expected them to be closer to my age, not just going off to college. I think I would have liked it more if they were in their mid to late twenties, but I also appreciate a good YA novel every now and then!
Based on how much I enjoyed the reading experience and how quickly I devoured it, I rate this book 4/5. I'd recommend it to fans of One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London, as well as Dead Famous by Ben Elton, though that one is quite different!
