Trust no one.
Because it could be anyone.
When eight teenagers in a small Michigan town start receiving texts urging them to play Never Have I Ever, they find themselves caught up in a deadly game of secrets, repentance and retribution that may be connected to a girl who disappeared the year before.
As they find themselves stalked by someone in a scarecrow costume — or is it a costume? — the school bully sets out to discover who’s playing the prank in hopes of redeeming his past behavior.
And staying alive.
But will he figure it out before that past catches up to him?
From the acclaimed author of the award-winning dark love story “Until September” comes something completely different. Expanding upon an idea he had when he was 17 and living on a dirt road in the Midwest, his young-adult thriller “Never Have I Ever” takes readers to October in his small Michigan hometown where scarecrows both line the streets and haunt your nightmares, where secrets are more plentiful than the shadows, and where everyone is a suspect, so you can trust only yourself. Weaving social themes into a whodunit with an LGBT slant, “Never Have I Ever” asks us to look inside ourselves to see just what regrets we may want to hide — and to consider that setting them free may be the healthiest choice to move forward.
