I had no idea that this was just a short excerpt from a full book when I read it, so I was disappointed when I figured that out, and I have yet to get permission to read the entire book, so giving a rating is not easy and doesn’t make sense to me.

If I’m rating the story, that difficult as well after one short chapter, but that’s all I have to go on.
This was a disappointing experience.

Oh you tease, Raven Books! Gimme more (please!!). I loved this short and sharp extract. I read with a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. What does Roux know? What secret is Amy hiding? Will book club ever be the same again?? I think not!! Can't wait to read more of NEVER HAVE I EVER - I just hope it's soon!

As this is an excerpt, it’s hard to judge the book from just so few pages. Taking this into consideration, I feel curious about what happens next and how the story could progress from here. Books involving suburban moms are particularly interesting and I am certainly reminded of Big Little Lies and The Rumour. I can’t wait for the pub date.

This premise sounds interesting and I cannot wait to read the rest. everyone seems to have secrets and it's hard to know who to trust. A good start to an interesting book.

This is just an excerpt of the book. After reading this small portion I definitely look forward to reading it in its entirety.

This is an excerpt of a book that I am really anticipating this summer. A great whetting if the palette for a book that I believe is going to be the suspense novel of the summer!

Intriguing, sinister start to this one with a good introduction to the characters.

Roux is like a magpie, a new interloper to the book group, causing problems! There are obviously a few big reveals ahead and she seems to know things about the others, especially Amy! All rather ominous.

The sample is the first chapter and I'm keen to find out more!

This was just a sample that I read of 30 pages but I want more!!! I guess the lesson is do not read the samples because then you will want to read the book. The writing style I enjoyed it and it was easy to read and the characters seemed like with more story line they would come into their own. I am interested in pursing this read!

Mothers should be sensible, passed the days of drunken party games. But these mothers meeting in a regular book club have invited a visiting stranger in to the group one evening who takes over in an oh so enticing way. Inviting trouble, encouraging secret sharing, making invisible women feel special again. And she knows a secret about the host...

An intriguing start to the novel in this extract from the book given to me by Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my thoughts. It has dragged me in and I look forward to reading the rest once it’s released.

NOW I NEED THE WHOLE BOOK lol
Draws you in.
Hard to review a bit
I really need the whole thing.
I can't write more than i read.

I can't wait to read the full version of Never Have I Ever! I have read all of Joshilyn Jackson's books she is one of my favourite authors! This one seems to be a change of genre, they all have a suspenseful element, a slowly revealed surprise, but this one seems more of a thriller and I love this new direction. Secrets and lies are yet to be revealed but I can already feel the menace laced with her trademark humour. I always laugh out loud while reading a Joshilyn Jackson novel. I can not wait to read the full length edition of Never Have I Ever!

Very promising start for an extract and a book club setting too. What more can a book lover ask for. Great characterisation and Roux seems highly intriguing.

An intriguing start to what sounds like one to the most promising thrillers this year. The characters definitely stuck in my mind, there's Charlotte, the bossy host of the book club, Roux the extrovert that wants to be quirky, but is clearly sinister. Utterly captivating.

This is only a small extract but it definitely packs a punch. It introduces the characters at a book club that descents into a drunken game and the reader learns that there is something sinister bubbling behind the scenes. It’s intriguing, dark and it pulls you in so I’m looking forward to reading the full book!.

This was just an extract for review and honestly it didnt grab my attention at all. I wont be purchasing the full book.

Really gripping extract, can't wait to read the whole book! Gutted when it ended as I was well and truly hooked. Great writing and characters

I am so sad that this was only an extract and not the whole book and that I didn’t pay attention to that before I started reading it.

I got completely sucked into the story and now I really want to know what Amy is hiding and how Roux knows about it.

Full of intrigue and suspense. Cannot wait to read the full book! Who is this Roux, what secrets does she hold?

As this is only an extract, hard to get a real feel for the book, however, it appears to be off to a good start with an interesting cast of characters and some down and dirty intrigue may yet be revealed. Thanks to Netgalley for the free excerpt.

Wish I had a little more, but it is only an extract. So far, I'm pretty hooked. Will I buy it, possibly. Based on what I've read, it's definitely up my alley. Adding it to my to be read pile to dig into further.
