Never Always Sometimes
Adi Alsaid

Never date your best friendAlways be originalSometimes rules are meant to be broken.Best friends Dave and Julia were determined to never be clichés so they even wrote their own Never List of everything they vowed they’d never, ever do in high school.Some of the rules have been easy to follow; But Dave has a secret: he’s broken rule #8, never pine silently after someone for the entirety of high school. It’s either that or break rule #10, never date your best friend. Dave has loved Julia for as long as he can remember.So when she suggests they do every Never on the list, Dave is happy to play along. He even dyes his hair an unfortunate shade of green.It starts as a joke, but then a funny thing happens: Dave and Julia discover they’ve actually been missing out on high schoolAnd maybe even on love.Praise for Adi Alsaid'Reminiscent of John Green’s Paper Towns' - School Library Journal'Balances both the quirky fun and the harsh realities of adolescence’ - Entertainment Weekly‘Let's Get Lost is an absorbing, beautiful novel we all need in our lives.
