A review by alainasanders
Never Ever Getting Back Together by Sophie Gonzales

4.0


I really liked that both of the povs were able to have their actions justifiable/understandable in whatever they doing (except a few things) and also that I could completely understand where they were coming from. I didn’t once think ‘oh my gosh why would they ever think to do that’ even if it was something I didn’t agree with. I also liked the reality tv aspect as I find media/fame books really fascinating. I didn’t like some of the miscommunication that went on towards the beginning of the book (though I understand why it needed to be drug out a little) I just wanted everyone to be friends right away which wasn’t that realistic. After the miscommunication got resolved I like that it became the two against the one. I also liked how in tune Maya was to one of the characters gaslighting or manipulation tactics and how Skye was still learning or coming to terms with it, it was nice to see both sides. I don’t love reading about manipulative people but when the people who are being manipulated realize it and fight back it’s a lot more enjoyable than the alternative.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced E-arc in exchange for a fair review!
