What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Never Have I Ever written and read by Joshilyn Jackson.

Sunday Times Thriller of the Month

'Wonderful – suspense and surprises, real characters and a scary, ominous backbeat'
LEE CHILD

'Absolutely immaculately done, to be read in one breathless sitting’
INDIA KNIGHT

'I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough'
CLARE MACKINTOSH

A smart, suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat read, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, T.M. Logan and Louise Candlish.

It starts as a game at a book group one night. Never Have I Ever... done something I shouldn't.

But Amy Whey has done something she shouldn't. And Roux, the glamorous newcomer to Amy's suburban neighbourhood, knows exactly what that is.

Roux promises she will go away – if Amy plays by her rules.

But Amy isn't prepared to lose everything. She's going to fight back, and in this escalating game of cat and mouse, there can be only one winner.

Critics Review

Brilliant... horribly credible, and Jackson’s dialogue and scene-painting are impeccable as each chapter addictively advances the battle of wits
Sunday Times, Thriller of the Month
Wonderful – suspense and surprises, real characters and a scary, ominous backbeat. This feels like the book Jackson was born to write
Lee Child
A smart, original thriller with real, compelling characters and a chilling reveal. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough
Clare Mackintosh
Jackson writes the kind of book that will set even the most blameless on edge, leaving us to wonder who might know our imperfect histories. Once I started, I couldn’t put this one down
Christina Dalcher, author of Vox
Full of masterful suspense, this is one hell of a thriller
Heat
Our old friend, the psychological thriller, absolutely immaculately done, to be read in one breathless sitting
Sunday Times Magazine
A heart-pounding tale of cat and mouse with twists you won’t see coming. Just when you think you couldn’t be more shocked, Jackson delivers a mind-blowing ending. Riveting!
Liv Constantine
A riveting read that will get you wondering who you can trust
Prima Magazine
This book will make you gasp with shock. A summer must-read!
Woman
Jackson raises the stakes again and again in this skilfully plotted novel
Guardian
Wow – what a book! I devoured it in one day, and it’s a book that will stay with me for a long time. It is such a compelling story, but for me even more important than the brilliant and original plot was the strength and clarity of the characters
Rachel Abbott
The more Roux and Amy became obsessed with each other, the more obsessed I became with the book … By the time of the explosive, entirely unexpected climax, I was clinging to the edge of my seat
Sara Gruen
Nail-biting suspense … Jackson builds on her talent for creating imperfect, capable and multi-layered characters to write smart suspense, driven by the intelligence and determination of the instigator and her prey
Booklist
One of those thrillers with such a distinct style and such rich writing you simultaneously want to turn the pages but also just want to slow down and soak it up. Amazing
Amy Lloyd
Dark, twisty and brilliantly plotted. Never Have I Ever is a compelling game of cat and mouse. Couldn’t put it down
Alice Clark-Platts
Well-developed, memorable characters and an action-packed plot
Publisher’s Weekly
Chock-full of dramatic reveals and twisty turns… Be warned: It’s a stay-up-all-night kind of book. Compulsively readable
Kirkus Reviews
[Jackson's] prowess at writing affecting, character-driven fiction is on full display, and readers will devour the twisty, consuming story
Library Journal
A tale of moral suspense in addition to a psychological thriller. Its several plot twists are surprising and effective ... Many books claim to be the perfect beach read. This one doesn’t, but it certainly fits the bill
Wall Street Journal
