They were both very quirky and I could see why they became best friends. There were times when Julia was a little too wild for me but it worked for her character. I enjoyed both characters, Dave a little more than Julia. By that time, I always knew which POV I was reading. This way, they each got to develop their voice before the POVs started to alternate. I also thought it was a smart choice since Dave and Julia seemed so similar in the beginning that it could have been a little difficult to tell their POVs apart. Solely Dave’s POV, solely Julia’s POV, and then a combination of both of their POVs. I really enjoyed Let’s Get Lost so I was really excited for a new Adi Alsaid book and the premise sounded like a great summer read. This was a really fun book to read filled with so many clichés and quirky characters. It started out as a fun joke but as they scratch numbers off the list, they realize just how much they were missing out on. When Julia suggests actually doing the things on their Nevers list, Dave goes along with it. It’s either that or break ‘never date your best friend’. ‘Never pine for someone through high school’ is one Dave has been breaking. Things like ‘never dye your hair a colour from a rainbow’ or ‘never hook up with a teacher’. They didn’t want their time to be defined by high school clichés so they came up with a list of Nevers. Best friends Dave and Julia were determined to have an original high school experience.
