Longtime friends Dave and Julia create a list of Nevers or cliches they never want to experience or do but come senior year they begin to realize how much they have missed out on and decide to complete every Never on the list. 
 The concept behind NEVER ALWAYS SOMETIMES is a fun one, I really liked the idea of the Nevers list and enjoyed experiencing (and reminiscing about) some enjoyable and memorable high school moments right alongside the main characters. 
 "No point in living a life less ordinary if you don't know what the other side looks like. 
 Dave and Julia themselves are very personable and have a great dynamic with each other, throwing around humorous banter and overall just complementing each other. There is a love triangle that lead to a lot of drama, but I liked how it was wrapped up. 
 The writing is very easy to get into, and it flows well with the story. However, there were some pacing issues and I wish more time had been spent on romantic development and less on angst and parties. 
 "We are not any one thing that is mathematically provable." 
 My favorite aspect of this novel was how it did not end like I expected. It is refreshing to read a contemporary novel like this where you cannot immediately predict the endgame. 
 Overall, NEVER ALWAYS SOMETIMES is a novel that fans of the genre will enjoy.
