Robyn Bloom thought Ash Barnes was the love of her life – until one day he announced he was leaving her to fly halfway across the world.
Months later, Robyn is struggling to move on – but then she has a brainwave: The Never Have I Ever Club. Her handsome next-door neighbour Will helps her bring their fellow Yorkshire villagers together for some carpe-diem-inspired fun.
From burlesque dancing to Swedish massages, everyone has plenty of bucket-list activities to try, but it doesn't take long for Robyn to realise what – or who – her heart truly desires: Will.
There's just one problem: he's Ash's twin brother.
Make that two problems: Ash is moving home... and he wants Robyn back.
Mary Jayne Baker is the recipient of the RNA Romantic Comedy Award for A Question of Us.

Unfortunately, this was one of those books that I was so hopeful that I’d love–but it just fell short for me.

The writing wasn’t bad–in fact for the first few chapters I found myself really engrossed. It was just a little bit into the book I found myself not enjoying the story and I got bored.

This is a case of–others may enjoy it… It just wasn’t my cup of tea.
