Never Ever Getting Back Together

Romance, revenge, and reality TV. The new queer YA rom-com from Sophie Gonzales, bestselling author of Only Mostly Devastated.

Eighteen-year-old Maya dumped her cheating ex-boyfriend Jordy two years ago. So, when she receives a call to participate in Second Chance Romance - a reality show in which the now-famous Jordy re-dates his ex-girlfriends - she isn't interested . . . until she realizes she can use this opportunity to exact her revenge. If she can make it to the final spot on the show, she can reject Jordy in front of the nation, and publicly break his heart.

Maya's fellow contestants include Skye, the beautiful, charismatic girl Jordy cheated on Maya with. Skye charms the socks off everyone she meets, except for Maya, who knows that underneath all the sparkle, she's the girl who dated her boyfriend while he was still her boyfriend.

The reality show is a challenging environment. Amidst backstabbing, bickering, and having to see Jordy again, Maya finds herself becoming friends with Skye. Together, they come up with a plan for the ultimate revenge on Jordy.

But as she spends more time with Jordy and Skye, Maya is torn. Is Jordy a good guy who made a mistake? Is there more than friendship between her and Skye? As the season finale approaches, can Maya execute her plan, or will she go off-script?

"Employing hilariously biting alternating perspectives and a cast populated by strongly characterized female heroines and deliciously despicable reality TV villains, Gonzales expertly taps into contemporary society's Bachelor obsession to deliver a smart rom-com with a twist." ―Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Narrated in alternating points of view by two layered, complex characters, this fun YA romance is full of twists and turns, petty revenge schemes, and chaotic drama that rivals an actual reality show. If you enjoyed Netflix's Do Revenge and are craving a bisexual season of The Bachelor, you absolutely must pick up this book." - Booklist, starred review

"Never Ever Getting Back Together is an absolute home run...the queer feel-good romcom of the year." ―The Nerd Daily

"Containing juicy secrets, sizzling chemistry, swoon-worthy reveals, and all the drama one could want, Gonzales's delightful rom-com will leave readers craving more." ―PopSugar

"A hilariously charming mix of romance meets reality show." ― Paste Magazine

"A light, escapist read." --Kirkus

"Wickedly funny [and] searingly sexy... Gonzales has written an incisive reflection on the thin line between love and hate. Don't let this one get away." --Kelly Quindlen, author of She Drives Me Crazy

"A fun, fast-paced enemies-to-lovers romcom, full of banter and heart... queer love and teen girls you can't help but cheer for. This book gets my final rose and all the ones before it." --Jenn Dugan, author of Some Girls Do

"As binge-worthy as your favorite Netflix series...a bitingly funny, warm, and wonderful knock-out of a romcom." --Julia Lynn Rubin, author of Trouble Girls
