Never Always Sometimes by Adi Alsaid
3.0
I'm probably leaning more towards a 3.5 on this. I liked this book. I really did. It had a good pace and I often thought about it when I wasn't able to read it, questioning where it would go but I thought it would get better and better and in the end I feel like it didn't really have much in the way of a good ending.
Regardless of all that, I loved how the author split the book. Dave's view then Julia's then started to wrap up the book with the both of them written simultaneously. It really made me understand Julia's character more once I got in her head. But in saying that, Julia was conceited and most definitely a cliche. And that threw me off a bit. Her total disregard for both dave's and gretchen's feelings and the way she acted like the cat that got the cream really made me question her like-ability. And I think that is what stuck in my head. The fact that she had the emotional range of a 12 year old..
So overall a reasonably pleasant read and I will honestly still recommend to my friends. We all take something different from a book and I'd love to hear what other people thought.
