Never Always Sometimes by Adi Alsaid
Did not finish book.
Things that I hated about Never Always Sometimes:
(THERE'S NOTHING TO LOVE) (Sorry not sorry)
1.) The blurb:
...two best friends, a boy and girl, make a list of the cliché things they will never do their senior year.
LOLOLOLOLOL. This book sounds so cliché already.
2.) Two "characters" who are so hell bent on embracing their "individuality" that in the end, they just came out fake and unrealistic for me:
Seriously, they do not even resemble the guys I went with in high school. I CANNOT RELATE. I NEEDS TO RELATE. They are worse than the characters of a John Green novel. I know JG's characters can be a bit pretentious sometimes but at least, I get them.
3.) This and many more vomit-inducing quotes:
"If the lights ever went out in her presence, Dave was pretty sure the brightness of her eyes would be more useful than a flashlight."
I'd rather take the flashlight. Thx.
PUKE.
3.) Every single chapter of Dave reminding us that he loves Julia. Again, puke.
4.) IT HAS A LOVE TRIANGLE:
That love triangle came out of nowhere. One night of flirting and suddenly, Dave can't get Gretchen out of his mind. DUUUDE, I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN LOVE WITH JULIA O_o
I'm sure there's a lot more but I only reached the 36% mark before I decided that I've had enough. In short, this book is an utter waste of my time. I could've been studying for my midterm exams next week, walking my dog, learning another language (French maybe?), or travelling the word. Instead I settled for this piece of s***. This is a new low for me, I'm sorry self for treating you like this. I deserve better.
Maybe I'll pick this up again later. Maybe not. But I've got a feeling that I WON'T.
