Queen B’s Decree: I love some snarky inner thoughts and Maya had those in spades.
Never Ever Getting Back Together was an interesting concept: two girls go on a dating reality TV show and fall for each other instead of the bachelor they are competing for. Although Maya just wants to win for REVENGE, as all the contestants on this show are ex-girlfriends of the “star,” Jordy.
Maya and Skye start as enemies and obviously turn into fade-to-black lovers, but I did wonder where the relationship progression was. It seemed like they were enemies, and then they realized Jordy had played them both, and then they were “casual” lovers, but why? Their chemistry was lacking, but that may have had to do with the fact Never Ever Getting Back Together was YA and these characters were all 18-20 and SO YOUNG.
I still loved the dialogue and laughed out loud multiple times. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and came to really love these characters…even though they were both so stubborn at times.
Another entertaining read by Sophie Gonzales.
