Publisher Description
“Wonderful—suspense and surprises, real characters, and a scary, ominous backbeat. This feels like the book Jackson was born to write.” —Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author
Named a Best Book by USA Today • People • The Wall Street Journal • Time • Entertainment Weekly • Bustle • and many more!
From New York Times bestselling author Joshilyn Jackson, 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
In this game, even winning can be deadly...
Amy Whey is proud of her ordinary life and the simple pleasures that come with it—teaching diving lessons, baking cookies for new neighbors, helping her best friend, Charlotte, run their local book club. Her greatest joy is her family: her devoted professor husband, her spirited fifteen-year-old stepdaughter, her adorable infant son. And, of course, the steadfast and supportive Charlotte. But Amy’s sweet, uncomplicated life begins to unravel when the mysterious and alluring Angelica Roux arrives on her doorstep one book club night.
Sultry and magnetic, Roux beguiles the group with her feral charm. She keeps the wine flowing and lures them into a game of spilling secrets. Everyone thinks it’s naughty, harmless fun. Only Amy knows better. Something wicked has come her way—a she-devil in a pricey red sports car who seems to know the terrible truth about who she is and what she once did.
When they’re alone, Roux tells her that if she doesn’t give her what she asks for, what she deserves, she’s going to make Amy pay for her sins. One way or another.
To protect herself and her family and save the life she’s built, Amy must beat the devil at her own clever game, matching wits with Roux in an escalating war of hidden pasts and unearthed secrets. Amy knows the consequences if she can’t beat Roux. What terrifies her is everything she could lose if she wins.
A diabolically entertaining tale of betrayal, deception, temptation, and love filled with dark twists leavened by Joshilyn Jackson’s trademark humor, Never Have I Ever explores what happens when the transgressions of our past come back with a vengeance.
This audiobook includes an episode of the Book Club Girl Podcast, featuring an interview with Joshilyn Jackson about Never Have I Ever.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
You wouldn’t expect a book club to be a hotbed of blackmail and deep, dark secrets—but that’s just what you get from this tense Joshilyn Jackson thriller. Amy Whey is an average suburban mom who’s hiding a troubled past. When the charismatic and chaotic Angelica Roux infiltrates her social circle, she quickly zeroes in on the skeletons in Amy’s closet and threatens to reveal them. This exciting domestic thriller constantly toys with your expectations, dropping wicked, deadpan humor into the most tense moments and skillfully executing some wonderfully unexpected plot twists. As the mood shifts from disturbing to sexy to satirical, Jackson’s own narration modulates accordingly, leaving us breathless for the next hairpin turn on Amy’s wild ride. If you’re a fan of The Girl on the Train or Big Little Lies, you’re going to love the deadly mind games of Never Have I Ever.
Customer Reviews
Lots of twists
Towards the middle I got a little bored but the end was suspenseful and excited. The last several chapters had me on the edge of my seat.
Worth the read
Unexpected ending- enjoyed reading this from the beginning
Great book
It’s been a very long time since I’ve heard a great audiobook. The author is one of my favorites. This book is well paced from beginning to end, not a single dull moment. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
