Never Ever by Sara Saedi

I loved the plot. I tell you that first because I have to admit that I was not a fan of how this wonderful story was written.

I felt it had a very basic writing format. Things seemed to skip ahead or move to quickly when they didn't need to or could have easily been more filled out. It didn't flow as well as I wanted it to and reading it felt choppy and almost elementary at points.

That said, I loved Wiley. I thought her brothers were really underdeveloped and I thought Phinn was annoying and his demeanor was transparent the whole time. Like I said, basic writing.

I did love this retelling. I loved where the story went and where it is still going (wasn't expecting there to be a sequel but there will be!). But overall, the writing style was only subpar for me and really hurt it for me.

Bottom line, if you're looking for a good retelling, this is your book. If you're looking for a book with substance and depth, look elsewhere.
