I'll be buying a copy for our library. Especially loved all the pensioners in the story. Lots of funny scenes & romance. Well written with witty dialog.

Cheers for the pensioners as they certainly provide the necessary humor and color to this book! They set the precedent as to live life to the fullest. Robyn for so long couldn't take herself out of the past. I must admit I had a hard time liking her until the end.....What emotionally mature woman gets excited about a spreadsheet and twelve seater bus? I was glad she spoke up for herself and as a result, ended up with her true love, Will.

I don’t know how to describe how much I loved this book!! I could not put it down!
I love a chick lit story and this is the perfect one. Such wonderful characters you instantly love, people such as Will! What a dreamy guy!
It’s the first book I’ve read from this author and I cannot wait to read her other books!
Well deserved 5 stars.

Thanks NetGalley for the digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Rating: 3.5

"The Never Have I Ever Club" is about Robyn, whose boyfriend ran away with a younger woman and she had to get over him even though she was constantly reminded of him, since his identical twin, Will, who was also her neighbor and friend. One day, Robyn, Will and her friends decide to create this club from the title for elderly people who still felt they had things in life they wanted to accomplish and this club would be a way to support each other. Then her ex gets back and decided to join the club as well, but suddenly she feels closer and closer to Will, and things get a bit messy.

Let's get the negative stuff out of the way: I think the book was way too long considering the story it was telling. It could easily be shorter, removing some parts which were a bit unnecessary for me. I think its length affects the reading experience, since the writing is delightful and it could be read at a faster pace if it didn't have all those pages that didn't make much of a difference in the story.

On the other hand, I just loved this book's humor. It was probably my favorite thing about it. I loved the dialogues between Rob and her friends, Freya and Eliot. All the moments from the club together were also so much fun and entertaining!

The romance had a trope I really liked: friends to lovers, so it was really nice to see how the relationship between Will and Robyn developed. It was cute and they definitely had chemistry. I just was a bit annoyed about a kind of "love triangle" between her and the twins. Even though she didn't like her ex anymore, her ex wanted her back and Will held himself for a long time, because of his brother and I don't like this kind of trope so much.

Overall, it was a very light and fun read. I recommend it if you are in a reading slump for sure, because it will certainly cheer you up and motivate you to get back to reading.

Never being one for love triangles, I was surprised that this love story was fun, touching, and ultimately about friendships, family, and finding where you really belong. A slow start, a bit of a push to get used to the British slang for this American, but overall a really good read.

This one was a mixed bag for me. I did enjoy the romance and the friendship. The situation itself was an interesting one, I only had a few hiccups with some of the actions and decisions of the characters. I really liked Robyn Bloom and found her to be a relatable and really great character. I guess my only main hiccup was Will, but I suppose that’s a personal preference. Overall, I would recommend this book, it’s a great romance read and it really hooks you with the storyline. I also really liked the idea of a Carpe Diem club and the town community was so sweet.
*thank you netgalley for sending me an arc*

God, I loved this book.

I mean, for a start, it wasn't written in first person even though I was sure it would be so that was a wonderful surprise.

Secondly, I love Will Barnes. I think I was in love with him by the second chapter, regardless of what else was going on, he's just the ideal bloke. The only thing that did bother me was how often he apologised for Ash, it did get a bit annoying and I wanted to shake him.

Ash, on the other hand, ugh. A permanent man child, I disliked him throughout and he only marginally redeemed himself with his "big gesture" at the end.

I don't think there's been a book that I've read recently where I've lived most of the characters - Freya, EL, Winnie, AUNTY FLISS!!, The Brig, even Mrs Jeffries!

I loved the easy friendship between Robyn and Will and the almost mother-daughter relationship between her and FLISS.

I might actually go back and read this again because I just bloody love all the relationships!

Also, Threesome Husband is my new favourite thing and I actually had to stop reading to tell my husband about 'My Lovely Horse' and he found it just as hilarious as I did!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a huge romance fan and I love a good love triangle so the synopsis really intrigued me. I was captivated after the first chapter because of a really funny scene and the banter between the main characters but unfortunately, after the first couple chapters it couldn't hold my attention. I really tried to love this but its honestly a few hundred pages too long for me. My excitement in the beginning quickly plateaued because I felt like a whole lot of nothing was happening.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed the bond between the two brothers and how opposite they are. I also had no idea this was set in the UK until I started reading the words "bloke and fancy" so that was cool. I enjoy reading books that take place in different countries cause you get a sense of their slang and its fun to learn.

The ending wrapped up nicely.. I just wish it got there sooner.

I want to thank Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book was a little bit disappointing. It took forever to get Into the story and at times I considered DNF’ing it.
I kept reading and it got a bit better and parts were very funny.
2 stars.

I need to start by saying, wow she's done it again. This is a fantastic author who hasn't produced a book that I haven't given five stars. This one has been worth the wait and is a beautiful read. I have nothing negative I can say about this one. It is filled with gorgeous characters, a great plot and a romance that would melt even the coldest of hearts. All I need Mary-Jayne to do now is find me a real life man who is a mix of Will Barnes and Simon (A Question of Us). I am convinced she has a talent for reading my mind, then creating my perfect man.
This book is like many other books by this author, pulled me in from the very beginning and made it impossible to put down. However, in other ways completely different, I have loved the triangle between the characters from the off. Although, I took Will's side very early on.
This book has made me laugh, want to shout at Mary-Jayne and has left me smiling and extremely happy with a huge book hangover. I don't know how any book could be as wonderful as this one. I really hope the author will consider a follow on to this one. These are characters I feel hugely invested in and need more. Saying that, whatever the next book is I will be first in line, tweeting to be on the blog tour before it is arranged.
The cover is absolutely gorgeous, I do love the bright cover and already excited to order a paperback version of this absolutely magical story for my shelf. This has been the perfect length but I would love more in a follow on book.
I would absolutely recommend this fantastic book. Five stars truly doesn't show how wonderful this book is. This has been the perfect read. It has definitely been worth the wait.
