4.5

Thanks to Netgalley and Wednesday Books for giving me an ARC of this title. As a long time fan of reality dating shows like Love Island, Too Hot To Handle, and The Bachelor, I was super excited to pick up this title. Never Ever Getting Back Together was an interesting subversion on the traditional reality dating show plot-line, with lovable characters like Skye and Maya and hate able characters like Jordy. The way Gonzales wrote him, a lying scheming manipulative narcissist that used the show to pad his own ego, hit home for me and a lot of over people who all knew a Jordy in our lives once. The revenge at the end was satisfying and helped to tie the book up into a neat little bow. I love the way Sophie Gonzales writes dialogue, she can make me hate or love a character based off the little nuances that she imbues into her storytelling. I gave this book a 4.5 out of 5 and I’m very excited to experience future releases!
