A review by magnoliabloomfield
Never Ever by Sara Saedi
Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.
The way Wylie talks about her mom screams “internalized misogyny”. The dialogue was so bad I actually made faces as I was reading things like “Never fear, bestie. If there’s one thing I know how to do, it’s get a dance party started.” And the exchange: “you’re crazy, Wylie.” “That’s why you love me!”
The scene in McDonalds gave me secondhand embarrassment. By page 27 we’ve already reached the magic and fantasy stuff and it felt rather rushed. Everything she tells Phinn when he so sexily says he wants to know everything about her is something that was told to us earlier in the narration, which made it feel like there wasn’t enough characterization of them before we reach the catalyst of finding magic.
You could read something similar for free on Wattpad, I’m sure.
