I first fell for this husband and wife writing team when I picked up Time Of Our Lives, a sweet and beautiful story of Fitz and Juniper meeting up on their college tours. This summer, Always Never Yours was the perfect follow-up to Nicola Yoon’s Instructions for Dancing. I needed something that WASN’T going to make me cry, and this fresh and funny novel was perfect.
Always Never Yours is the debut novel for Wibberley and Siegemund-Broka (#Wibbroka), and it’s an ode to the shared passion for Shakespeare that brought them together. My own first high school crush involved swooning over an English classmate during Romeo and Juliet trivia challenges, and I brought the story into my own work, too, so I definitely approve. It did take me a few chapters to get into this one, but once I hit the comparison between heroine Megan and the often-overlooked Romeo and Juliet character of Rosaline in chapter 4, I fell hard. The book didn’t leave my hands after that until I hit the last page. Like Rosaline, Megan is the “before” girl. The girl guys date before they find the one. The #Wibbroka team does something truly special developing that idea, leading Megan on a wholly satisfying journey to find self-love along with true love. This is also another title with excellent banter, and a side dish of just enough drama. Highly recommended.
