A review by naomi_andino
Never Say Never by Justine Manzano
4.0
Brynn Stark doesn’t want to know anything about love after finding her mom cheating on her dad….but it turns out that one of her best friends is Aphrodite undercover who will stop at nothing to find the perfect match for Brynn. As the story progresses, Brynn finds herself falling for Adam - Aphrodite’s boyfriend.
I’m a hug fan of greek mythology and modern day retellings of them so I just knew I was going to like this book.
I was originally going to give it three stars given that at times some of the characters were unbearable. Of course, in Aphrodite’s case, this is an amazing portrayal but with the other characters, especially the adults it really pissed me off. But that’s just how real life people actually are, so I believe that by creating a love/hate relationship between us and the characters, Manzano did an amazing job.
I also loved how Manzano showed that different religions can coexist within the same universe. Overall, this was a cute, entertaining and easy read!
