Megan is in high school and has had a couple of boyfriends. Just when she thinks things are going good her boyfriend breaks up with her and starts dating someone else and falls in love with them. She doesn't know what is a matter. Why doesn't anyone fall in love with her? When she lands the role of Juliet in the school play she becomes very good friends with Owen. She starts to have feeling for him. Is he the one for her? I loved watching Megan and Owens relationship build from just being friends to being in love. I wish the book didn't end and I was able to learn more about them!
I just finished reading Romeo and Juliet with my freshman so reading this was a lovely treat! I loved the story of Megan and Owen as she finds her path and realizes that there may be more to a relationship than a quick hook up or broken heart. This story was well written with enjoyable characters and a diverse family. I loved the lines from the play that began each chapter. I will definitely recommend this to my students.
Always Never Yours centers around Megan's belief that whoever she dates will find the "perfect" partner after they break up. I really this liked book and how Megan grows during the course of the novel. Megan is still dealing with her feelings regarding her parent's divorce, which leads her to question the idea of "true love". This books covers familial relationships as well as friendships. The book revolves around a production of Romeo and Juliet and if you love, Shakespeare, you will love the chapter quotes.
See note to publisher: We already have received print copies so those new titles are reviewed by student patrons. I am not needed in those situations. Thanks, though, for the potential opportunity.
A sweet YA rom-com written by an IRL couple. Influences of Shakespeare unexpected, as is the relatable exploration of high school dramas like first love, college fears and figuring out how your teenaged passions will fit into your adult life.
If you’re looking for a book that will make you happy, this is certainly the one for you. This is a fluffy romance that was filled with theatre and it was really cute. If you love Shakespeare then this is the book for you, because there are a ton of references here!
Our story is about Megan. She is known as the class flirt at her high school. She is constantly jumping from one relationship to the next. It's hard to not to judge her for it, but all her relationships end the same.
Now while I wasn't the biggest fan of Megan, I loved how realistic and honest her story was. This really took me back to feelings I had in high school and it felt true to those. I feel like you need to put yourself in your teenage shoes while reading this one. It will make the story feel more real.
The relationship between her and Owen was really sweet. The chemistry between them was great and I loved the banter between them. I swooned while reading this one.
I gave it only 3 stars because I found it to be full of romance tropes and a tad predictable.
Now while it's not my favorite YA read, I still recommend it for a good summer read!
