The Never Have I Ever Club
by Mary Jayne Baker
Whilst the premise of The Never Have I Ever Club was good, I just felt that the story was a bit flat. Nothing much really happened other than Robyn or 'Bloomy' as Will calls her, fretting about her ex boyfriend Ash (and frequently telling him to fuck off) and her conflicting feelings for his identical twin brother, the village doctor who seems to blur many lines - Will.
Will, Ash and Robyn came across as very young, even though they were all in their mid thirties - with a lot of sobbing and bending down to catch peoples eyes - it wasn't a terrible book, I did manage to finish it, but I think that was mainly due to the supporting cast - especially Eliot and Freya, and Fliss and the Brigadeer.
Some of the activities that The Never Had I Ever Club patricipated in were pretty fun to read about, Fliss's hen was a highlight, I just felt that there was quite a bit of needless bad language with no real point and a lot of repetition in the story.
Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a gifted copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
2.5*
