Never Ever Getting Back Together by Sophie Gonzales

3.0

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press, for the ARC of this book, in exchange for my review.

The premise of this book seemed pretty fun; Bachelor type reality show where a guy brings a bunch of former girlfriends back for an elimination style competition for a second chance at love. Two of the contestants end up falling for each other.

Overall it was a cute story, but not without its issues. I think this book would have been better positioned with characters that were a little older. The characters were not old enough to have any real life experience and the romances throughout were very PG. One of the main characters Maya, started out pretty normal, but she quickly established herself and the most annoying and immature person you could imagine. Her behavior was so obnoxious, it was tough to read. The way she acted also made the decisions that Jordy made, very unbelievable.

The romance that develops between Maya and Skye, felt a little underdeveloped as well. They went from hating each other to not, in an instant. There was very little build up or anticipation, and it left the love story kind of meh.
