A Novel

Narrado por: Joshilyn Jackson

“Wonderful - suspense and surprises, real characters, and a scary, ominous backbeat. This feels like the book Jackson was born to write.” (Lee Child, New York Times best-selling author)

Named a Best Book by USA Today • People • The Wall Street Journal • Time • Entertainment Weekly • Bustle • and many more...

From New York Times best-selling author Joshilyn Jackson, a twisting novel of domestic suspense in which a group of women play a harmless drinking game that escalates into a war of dark pasts.

In this game, even winning can be deadly....

Amy Whey is proud of her ordinary life and the simple pleasures that come with it - teaching diving lessons, baking cookies for new neighbors, helping her best friend, Charlotte, run their local book club. Her greatest joy is her family: her devoted professor husband, her spirited 15-year-old stepdaughter, her adorable infant son. And of course, the steadfast and supportive Charlotte. But Amy’s sweet, uncomplicated life begins to unravel when the mysterious and alluring Angelica Roux arrives on her doorstep one book-club night.

Sultry and magnetic, Roux beguiles the group with her feral charm. She keeps the wine flowing and lures them into a game of spilling secrets. Everyone thinks it’s naughty, harmless fun. Only Amy knows better. Something wicked has come her way - a she-devil in a pricey red sports car who seems to know the terrible truth about who she is and what she once did.

When they’re alone, Roux tells her that if she doesn’t give her what she asks for, what she deserves, she’s going to make Amy pay for her sins. One way or another.

To protect herself and her family and save the life she’s built, Amy must beat the devil at her own clever game, matching wits with Roux in an escalating war of hidden pasts and unearthed secrets. Amy knows the consequences if she can’t beat Roux. What terrifies her is everything she could lose if she wins.

A diabolically entertaining tale of betrayal, deception, temptation, and love filled with dark twists leavened by Joshilyn Jackson’s trademark humor, Never Have I Ever explores what happens when the transgressions of our past come back with a vengeance.

This audiobook includes an episode of the Book Club Girl Podcast, featuring an interview with Joshilyn Jackson about Never Have I Ever.

Intense scenes cause one to listen with breathless anticipation. Jackson provides yet another performance sure to thrill listeners." (AudioFile Magazine)

Joshilyn RULES

I enjoyed every minute of this story. First off I am a big fan of the author and second I love her narration. That said, I haven't loved everything she has written. This story grabbed me from the first moment to the last. The characters were well crafted and well layered. The story, while a bit bizarre, was also believable in many ways-maybe not quite as exaggerated. I enjoyed the descriptions about diving ( which I know nothing about ) and how she used it as analogy to what the characters were going through emotionally. I have recommended this as a great summer read to all my friends and for those who love audio its a dont miss!

Not Your Usual Joshilyn Jackson Book

It is very difficult to review Joshilyn Jackson’s newest release. I actually had to pause several times because I wasn’t sure I could handle the next event. In the end I couldn’t figure out whether Amy was a heroine or a sociopath.

Ms. Jackson, with or without your southern accent, it’s time to move on to thrillers. You have indeed arrived.

Fantastic book!

This books takes you on a whirlwind journey!! The characters are deep! And once you think you have it figured out you are completely thrown off track! Unbelievable ending!

Many twists to this story!

Great book! Joshilyn narrates exceptionally well. couldn't stop listening, wanted to know what was going to happen next! you'll surely love this book and you'll never guess the surprise ending!!!

An thrilling adventure

4.5 Stars The storyline was interesting but at times cringeworthy. I felt like it went on slightly too long but overall it’s an enjoyable listen. I’m astounded by the narration by the author. It was phenomenal.

Worth the credit

Really good story line. If you are looking for a book that “hooks” you... this one will do it. I am not at all a grammar snob but I can see those who are picking this whole book apart. A lot of repetitive writing but nothing that takes away from the richness of the book. I definitely recommend this book.

very long & drawn out.

This was the never- ending book!! So much detail and description that it borderlined tedium.

This one threw me for a loop!

I read a lot of thrillers and most of the time I feel a bit underwhelmed. This one was a great read and kept me engaged the whole time. Loved it!

Kept me engaged throughout

I finally figured out about halfway through this novel that it was written primarily for a female audience. That's OK. It was a good story and I enjoyed it. Well written and with the requisite amount of twists and turns. Amy was a strong character but she wasn't Jack Reacher. Male listeners will miss the absence of macho violence with the good side winning. But they will probably enjoy the dripping evilness of Roux and the fact (a spoiler coming) that she gets her comeuppance. It would have been much more satisfying if Amy could have punched her in the face once or twice. Not sure if I liked the Tig character. The author left it to the listener's imagination as to his worth. Probably a good thing. I liked this Chick Thriller enough to give it four stars. Might give the author another listen.

Multiple plot twists

Alot of unexpected twists! Great characters and intricate plot that surprised me...especially at the end
