A review by middleburybooks
Opposite of Always by Justin A. Reynolds

4.0

There is a special art to starting a book by confusing your readers while subtly promising, through competent writing, that it will all make sense in the end. I think this author does it very well in this book.

This story starts with an intense life-or-death situation then backs into a sweet teen drama/romance that explains how we got there. The writing style was consistent and enjoyable throughout-humorous and engaging with just enough tugs on the heartstrings.

Our MC, Jack, is seriously the sweetest. Even when he messes up, I can’t help but root for him.

Solid, enjoyable story.
