The Library Love Fest team wishes Joshilyn Jackson's Never Have I Ever a very happy book birthday! Never Have I Ever is a twisting novel of domestic suspense in which a group of women play a harmless drinking game that escalates into a war of dark pasts.
There has been a lot of brand new buzz coming in for this book. It was named one of USA Today's "5 books not to miss." The Wall Street Journal calls it: "…a tale of moral suspense in addition to a psychological thriller. Its several plot twists are surprising and effective, and there are gripping sequences involving Amy’s work as a deep-sea diver woven logically into the narrative. Many books claim to be the perfect beach read. This one doesn’t, but it certainly fits the bill."
There was a ton of library love for this book. We were lucky enough to have Joshilyn speak at this year's Texas Library Association conference. It was also inducted into the LibraryReads Hall of Fame in June. Check out some of the amazing library reviews it previously received:
“Best-selling Jackson successfully trades her usual quirky Southern lit for darker psychological suspense in this latest highly recommended novel. Her prowess at writing affecting, character-driven fiction is on full display, and readers will devour the twisty, consuming story.”
—Library Journal review
“Nail-biting suspense… Jackson builds on her talent for creating imperfect, capable, and multi-layered characters to write smart suspense, driven by the intelligence and determination of the instigator and her prey… Never Have I Ever marks a new high in Jackson’s career.”
—Booklist review
