Robyn Bloom is heartbroken after her boyfriend, Ash, dumps her and runs off to Australia. Months later she’s still struggling to get over Ash and living next door to his identical twin brother, Will, isn’t helping, until she has a brainwave: The Never Have I Ever Club. The purpose of the club is to ‘carpe diem’ and tick off some of those bucket list items. Suddenly the inhabitants of this small Yorkshire village (most of a certain age) are trying burlesque dancing, life drawing and Swedish Massage! However setting up the club and working with her neighbour, Will, makes Robyn realise what she really wants is...Will, which isn’t as easy as it sounds especially now that Ash is home from Australia determined to win Robyn back...

This is a fun story about love, life and seizing the day. I loved the idea of the club and some of the bucket list suggestions were brilliant and hilarious. However for me the book was longer than it needed to be. There were side storylines that just didn’t need to be there and didn’t really add much to the overall story. I would have been more than happy with a story that covered the adventures of the club and the ‘will they, won’t they’ between Robyn, Will and Ash, everything else felt like unnecessary noise. 

The Never Have I Ever Club was a fun and romantic story with some important heart warming messages.

A a cute romance with some unexpected moments and some heart warming cross-generational moments too.

I loved the whole premise of the Never Have I Ever Club, and how it brings to together a disparate group of people with a wish to tick things off their bucket lists.

The array of characters and their quick wit had me laughing so loud at some points, I honestly couldn't put it down!

I've tried getting into this book twice now. Although I find the writing voice hilarious (at times), I can't get into it. And I wanted to! Maybe I'll give it a go again. I think you have to be right in the mood to read whatever book it is you're reading.  My TBR list a mile high and I want to be swept away...

I'm sorry to say this book was not for me, it was cute and funny. But not all the time, i was lost by the idioms the author used, maybe it was the language? i admit i know nothing about British slang and that issue paired with a very very very long book didn't sit well for me.

Long story short Robyn is getting over her ex, Ash. Problem is his identical twin, Will,  lives next door and they have been friends for ages. so it's up to her to rekindle that friendship after the breakup. 

then Ash is back in town and his mind is made up to win Robyn back, only she doesn't want to, all she wants to do is hang out with Will, as friends obviously.

so she founds the Never Have I Ever Club, a club for the village people to experience new things. this is where the book gets obnoxiously long and just kind of boring for me.

This is a friends to lovers book, with a twin triangle add-on.. i admit i loved that trope, it wasn't gross or farfetched. i honestly believe some people might enjoy this story, just not me.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley. 

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

It’s hard to wrap one’s head around the idea of falling for one twin and then, the other. But other than that, this book was a fun, easy, and funny read, featuring a cast of lovable characters and a well-paced plot. While I liked the absence of long-winding introspective chapters, I did have a bit of trouble following how Robyn and Will’s love for one another bloomed (no pun intended) (Robyn’s family name it Bloom). By now, readers of my reviews know that I love books that sharing something insightful about the human psyche; I didn’t feel anything really was to be taken away from this read other than it was well-written and fun—so a good escape for anyone not really wanting to think (which yes, even I can admit that it’s good, sometimes, not to think).⁠

I am a huge fan of Mary Jayne Baker and couldn't wait to read this book. It was funny witty and charming. The never have I ever club was brilliant and I laughed at some of the antics the characters got up to. A great easy book to read.

This was a good new take on second chances. However, it was hard to connect to the story but I believe a lot of people will enjoy this book.

Robyn Bloom Has Had Some Disappointments....
Robyn Bloom has had some disappointments. She’s not alone. Together with neighbour, Will, the club is born - the Never Have I Ever Club - the bucket list club everyone in the village wants to join. Will romance also blossom for Robyn and Will despite some added complications? Entertaining and engaging romcom with likeable protagonists and a good dose of humour. Very enjoyable.

So this isn’t my typical genre, but I’m trying to give other ones a try. I liked Robyn and her story and it was a quick, fun read

Another absolutely brilliant title from MJB. Exactly the pick me up I needed in these strange times.

I wanted a fun quick read and this book fit that description.  There were a lot of funny parts. The storyline itself was a bit predictable. 
Robyn Bloom grew up with a tight-knit circle of friends.  Dumped by her boyfriend Ash before he moved to Australia, Robyn feels lost and needs something to focus on. After volunteering at a senior center, Robyn gets an idea to form a bucket list club to help out her community along with Will, her childhood friend and neighbor (and also her ex boyfriends twin brother). Just when she starts having feelings for Will, Ash comes home begging for her to take him back.

Thank you Netgalley for the advanced readers copy of this title in exchange for my opinion/review. 
What a fabulous and fun read. Very easy to love protagonist Robin and her roller coaster love story. I dont want any spoilers, but I'm happy Aunt Fliss earned her badge! Definitely a book you should read for a heartwarming time.

Robyn Bloom is heartbroken.  She believed that Ash Barnes was the love of her life, until he suddenly upped and left her, disappearing to Australia where he moved on rather too quickly.  After months of upset and moping, she comes up with the idea of setting up a new club for herself, her friends and the people of her village.  And so, The Never Have I Ever Club was born.

The Never Have I Ever Club creates opportunities for Robyn and her friends that many of them didn't think possible.  Bucket lists start to be ticked off, and people are trying new things.  However there is one problem; Will Barnes.  Ash's twin brother, and Robyns next door neighbour, Will is the local doctor and he is keen to ensure his patients are able to get involved with the club - it gives many of his elderly patients a reason to get out and socialise, but it also gives him a chance to see Robyn.  After growing up together, he has missed her since the big break up.  Unfortunately, he didn't realise how much he missed her until he starts spending time with her again...

I loved the premise of this novel.  The Never Have I Ever Club is such an amazing idea, bringing together different generations and making them really think about what they want to achieve from their lives.  Of course I love a bit of romance with some twists and turns - identical twin brothers certainly gives us that! This is a great, easy read novel.  I really enjoyed following Robyn's story, she's a great character - in fact she's one of many great characters! I am more than happy to recommend this to you all - grab yourself a glass of wine and get stuck in!

This book was compared to Bridget Jones’ Diary so I was so excited because I really needed a good laugh.

This story featured Robyn Bloom, who was trying to get her groove back after her boyfriend Ash broker her heart and moved away to Australia where he hooked up with a much younger version of Robyn. She was devastated since she was hoping that he would put a ring on it.

Robyn and her girls came up with an idea for a support club to encourage themselves to go out there and live their best lives. They began meeting and trying to have fun and not be old fogeys. As Robyn starting putting the pieces of her life back together, she found herself getting closer and closer to her ex boyfriend’s twin brother Will. Will is part of the friend circle along with Freya, Eliot and they were the best parts of this book. The witty banter made me smile a bit and it was entertaining.

However, this book dragged for me. It was unnecessarily verbose and it took away from my enjoyment. I did enjoy the gradual development of Rob and Will’s relationship. It didn’t feel like a rebound because the author built a solid friendship. It was pretty clear were this friendship was headed but of course runaway twin Ash returns to reclaim his place in Rob’s life. I enjoyed this “triangle” especially since I was pretty sure I knew how it would end.

This book was cute but I wouldn’t consider it that funny. I smiled/chuckled maybe 4-5 times but I did think that the book’s pace was too slow at times. For my first book by this author, it was okay. I will definitely check another one out in the future.

*Special Thanks to Aria via Netgalley for the e-book given in exchange for an honest review.

This was a brilliant read. Packed with cute moments, big stumbling blocks and belly laugh, with great side characters. This was a great heartfelt read that was genuinely funny but with some beautiful heart felt moments!

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by NetGalley

DNF at 20% for a second time. This isn't holding my attention after trying to read the beginning for the second time. It's probably a me thing but I just don't care about Robyn or her situation or her club.

OH Robyn, its never a good idea to fall for your ex's brother....especially not his twin!  But that's just what seems to be happening here as Robyn struggles to get over her boyfriend whose unexpected departure from her life leaves her reeling.  This is one where you'll think of Robyn as your friend or sister and you will want to jump in and give her advice and help her along....but you've got to just hang on and let her fly!
