I loved the first chapter of this book and can’t wait until it gets fully released.
The characters and plot drew me in straight away and I wanted to keep on reading. This looks like it’s going to be a hit!

I have only read a preview of this book courtesy of net galley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review and I am hooked.
Wine and truth games together are not a good idea.
What starts as a monthly book club meeting with numerous women in a neighbourhood is quickly taken over by a newcomer to the area. Amy is hosting the book club that her best friend Char runs. The newcomer, Roux is charismatic and the book to be discussed is cast aside as the women are drawn to Roux’s every word.
As the crowd thins, it becomes a different kind of night as a game similar to “never have I ever” is initiated by Roux. What started out as just fun, quickly became more than any of them anticipated. Some secrets should stay silent. But what is Roux’s motive? We get only a tiny hint.
Although this was only a preview, I was instantly grasped by the story and will have to patiently wait for the full book when it’s released. This portion I read is a five star for me.

That is one heck of an opening chapter! I was immediately entranced. Punchy and fast paced. My interest is well and truly piqued!

I am intrigued enough by this book that I will absolutely be checking it out when it is published. There were some aspects to the writing that I was not impressed by, but the overall storyline has me interested to read more.

What the extract I think I would really enjoy this book. Very well written. Sounds like a great book. Sorry I didn’t realise this would be an extract.

I flew through this opening chapter for Never Have I Ever. Through this excerpt, the reader is introduced to Charlotte, Amy and several of their neighbors and fellow "book club" members. They welcome a new participant/neighbor to their group. Her name is Roux and she proves to be a somewhat disruptive character. Roux suggests that they play a game called 'Never Have I Ever.' As they play the game, it becomes apparent that it is unearthing secrets that many of them would prefer stay unknown. Near the end of this excerpt, you are given the impression that somehow Roux may know something about Amy which is puzzling since they'd never met before.

I was immediately intrigued by this short piece from Never Have I Ever. I look forward to the release date and having a chance to continue with the story.

Thank you to NetGalley for this "sample" of the book.

Thank you to Netgallery! (this is based on the first 30 pages of the book)

Very captivating story that starts in a moms-neighbors' bookclub. During one of the bookclub's meetings, a misterious new neighbor shows up "Roux". Right away, Roux distinguish herself with her beauty and confidence. She actually starts to derail the bookclub's agenda for that day, and everybody seems to be pending from her lips, as she has lots of charisma. Instead of talking about the book, she actually proposes to play a game "Never have I ever." Who is that girl? What does she wants? You will need to read the book!

Wow. If only all book club meetings could be this interesting. Very interesting read. I'm interested in seeing how this plays out. Looking forward to reading the rest of the story.

When I saw the opening chapter was available to read I jumped at the chance. Despite knowing that having to wait for the rest of it would obsess me. This opening chapter is one of the best I have read this year. Who was Roux, what does she know about Amy and why is Amy so afraid. And I wouldn’t like to mess with Char, possessive over her book club and everything connected to it. What could she be capable of?
Only five months or so to find out. Superb!
