Publisher's summary

Alec Murray.

He was the one.

From the first moment I saw him, I knew.

I had never been more certain of anything in my 16 years on this Earth.

But Alec didn’t notice me. At least not in the way that I wanted him to.

He noticed my best friend instead.

I stood by and watched their relationship blossom.

An outsider looking in, wishing things were different.

Torn between my loyalty to my best friend and the boy who had unknowingly stolen my heart.

Weighted by feelings I could never express out loud, I wrote them all down.

Every thought. Every feeling.

I poured them all into a letter.

A letter he was never meant to read.

Only that’s exactly what he did.

He read it.

Every single word.

But by then it was too late.

Even if he was no longer dating my best friend.

Even if I was more in love with him than ever.

He was leaving.

I was leaving.

And there was nothing either of us could do to change it.

Alec Murray was my almost fairytale.

The happy ending I swore I’d never get.

But our story is far from over....

Almost Never is a friends to lovers, complete stand-alone.

Heart Wrenching

Man, oh man did these two tug on my heartstrings. I liked Hope and Alec and felt they were meant to be. That being said, I also eventually just seriously wanted to shake them both so hard and tell them to "Wake Up!!". This was particularly true for Hope. I admired her loyalty and adherence to the "girl code" but I also think that these can only take you so far and when you have to start throwing your own happiness under the bus, enough is enough. Despite these frustrations I thought this was a really good read. It sure inspires powerful emotions in the reader as they enjoy this angst filled, heartache inducing romance.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
