Thank to netgalley and the author/publisher for the Arc for my honest review.
It’s nearly impossible to leave an accurate review based on ONE chapter. :/. So I won’t be.

It is difficult to leave a review after reading only one chapter but I think this will turn out to be a very good book. I am keen to read the rest of the book

it's very difficult to provide a review of an extract. I don't feel I can provide a constructive review

I didn't quite realize that this was just the first chapter. I don't feel that there was enough to give a complete review of the book. What I read was interesting and intriguing but whether it will hold up for the entire book, I could not say.

This extract made me want the read the book even more. The writing is eloquent and sophisticated. I cannot wait to see this book on the shelves so that I can finally read the book in its entirety.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an ARC of this Extract. I look forward to finishing it at a later date

Based on the extract provided, this is a gripping read that I would be excited to read in its entirety.
Can't really say much now, and looking forward to read the book upon its release.

Thanks #Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for this opportunity.

Thankyou to NetGalley, Bloomsbury Publishing, Raven Books and the author, Joshilyn Jackson, for the opportunity to read an extract of the upcoming novel Never Have I Ever in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
Well. What can I say. I am extremely excited to read more of this story. I am definitely hooked.
What the extract provided was the opening chapters in what promises to be a very intriguing story.
I will definitely be reading this novel when it is released. I need to see where the author is going to take me.

I read an excerpt of the first chapter. It was definitely intriguing although I can't say too much about it but I am definitely excited to read the rest of the book when it comes out.

Holy moly, the first chapter of this book sucked me right in! I both want to keep reading and am apprehensive about what I'm going to read next- it's the perfect amount of tension. Amy Whey is a new mom and part of a neighborhood book club. While she isn't the official 'host' of the monthly book club, it does take place at her house. The book opens on book club night, and a new neighbor, Roux, joins the group of moms. She is like a wind of change to the group dynamic, intriguing some and upsetting others. As the evening winds down, Roux entices a few of the moms into a version of the game Never Have I Ever that jumps right to confessions of past sins. Apparently Amy has something in her past that Roux knows about. I go back to my belief that Roux is an ill wind that is going to stir up all kinds of trouble for both Amy and the neighborhood. I can't wait to read the rest of the book!

Thank you NetGalley and Raven Books (Bloomsbury) for an extract of Never Have I Ever.

OMG. What an introduction chapter. We are immediately thrown into a scene that starts off as an innocent book club get together but escalates into full blown debauchery after Roux decides to get a game of Never Have I Ever started. The caveat? The stakes keep increasing until you've uncovered the worst thing you've done in your life. Everything seems to be all fun and games until Roux alludes to Amy (MC) that Amy has done something far worse than anyone in the room.

I will definitely be getting a copy of this book when it comes out! I need to know what happens!!

This looks so good! Ok, so I have to agree with others that it only being the first chapter was really frustrating, but that's because I got into it so quickly that I just wanted to carry straight on and read it all in one go.

Obviously, hard to review, but I will say that Roux seems like a great villain if you will. Threatening, but also unique - something about her felt special, and unlike anything I'd read before.

I've never read anything by Jackson before, but I must admit this has be intrigued, and could end up being my first!

I really should've paid attention to the fact that this was an extract of a book prior to downloading it because now I don't know how the book is going to end. Since I could only read chapter one, my rating for this book will be based upon that and my frustration that one chapter is all you offered the readers. The plot was okay. It was kind of sketchy for me in some spots and confusing as to who I should be paying more attention to... Amy or Roux? I do not believe that I will attempt to read this book once it actually is released for purchase.

This is just the first chapter of this book, but it left me wanting to know more and read the rest, especially to find out what dark secrets are going to come out between this group of friends and where they will lead.

This was just a snippet of the book given as an E-ARC to get you hooked and wanting to read the whole book. You think your past is in the past---wrong! Someone out there knows! I can't wait to read the entire book! Thank you NetGalley for the extract E-ARC of this for an honest review.

I was offered an extract/exerpt of this new book, which is the first chapter. It was very compelling and I really want to read the whole book!

Although the opening of this novel is strong, I didn’t realize this was just an excerpt and I don’t see the point of reviewing it on my sites. I’m a huge JJ fan and would be honored to review the full novel, however! (Pretty pretty please!). It felt like a bit of a bait and switch to get excited about being approved for this book and then feeling disappointed when I realized what it was. I’m still giving it four stars for what I read, however.

Ughhhhh.... I need more.. Never Have I Ever by Joshilyn Jackson is sultry and hypnotic and pulls you all in. This seductive teaser had all my blood pumping and i want to read more..
The characters are likable and well defined which makes you wanna know more about them and the mystery is consuming. I want to know what happened and what will happen.
Amy Whey leads a simple life with her family and friend when Angelica Roux barges in with her feral personality and hijacks their bookclub meetings to play a game of NEVER HAVE I EVER for adults. Only Amy is sure she has come to untangle her past destroy her life..
Can she save herself and her past!?
