Marianne L. (Syosset, NY)

Never Have I Ever
While the story line is steeped in intrigue, clever in its twisty design, I found this was not enough to offset the choppy pacing of the book. It was work to read this book, which contains too many descriptions at inopportune moments and restatements of things you already know about a character's past or about how they feel. To this reader it felt like filler being placed randomly throughout, filler that is wholly unnecessary to the progress of the story. I also thought the lack of development of the main character's husband was odd. He was shadowy at best. Overall a rather disappointing read.
