Always Never Yours by Emily Wibberley & Austin Siegemund-Broka - Restarting August 24th 2018

[Abi]

Megan Harper is the girl before. All her exes find their one true love right after dating her. It’s not a curse or anything, it’s just the way things are, and Megan refuses to waste time feeling sorry for herself. Instead, she focuses on pursuing her next fling, directing theatre, and fulfilling her dream school’s acting requirement in the smallest role possible.

But her plans quickly crumble when she’s cast as none other than Juliet–yes, that Juliet–in her high school’s production. It’s a nightmare. No–a disaster. Megan’s not an actress and she’s certainly not a Juliet. Then she meets Owen Okita, an aspiring playwright who agrees to help Megan catch the eye of a sexy stagehand in exchange for help writing his new script.

Between rehearsals and contending with her divided family, Megan begins to notice Owen–thoughtful, unconventional, and utterly unlike her exes, and wonders: shouldn’t a girl get to play the lead in her own love story?

(view spoiler)[Dang, the whole Tyler situation is kind of horrible. I feel so bad for Megan! Having her boyfriend fall for her best friend is sucky enough, but now having to play his Juliet when she already doesn't want the part. This is going to be interesting. (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

I’m starting this right now :)

(view spoiler)[ And having her best friend talk about him all the time... and stopping her to have fun with someone she wants, even though I know she wants to protect her it's annoying me.
Honestly we kind of know that she's going to end up with Owen, but I want her with Peter, I don't know why, but I want her to get him back, it sucks, but the way he 'jokingly' insults her annoys me. (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

Chapter 8-15
(view spoiler)[ I said I wanted her back with Peter, because how he insluts her whole the time. So I want him to run after her even though Madeline is an amazing friend, but well now I really would have loved that, cause she is an awful friend and a liar. I love Owen, how awesome he is and how open-minded he is, no double standards at all, rarely seen in guys. I like Will but well he’s not for her, but I don’t want him with alyssa either lol (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

Chapter 16-21
(view spoiler)[ OMG Will is an asshole. I like Owen, but he should deal with the Cosima issue before going after other girls, cause that's just cheating. And I'm not sure if I was in Megan's shoes I could have forgiven or more like trusted Madeline ever again. (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

Finished
(view spoiler)[OMG lol I'm taking my words back, I'm glad that she was't with Peter, what a douche, meanwhile Owen is just precious!! and the coward Will, ughhh.. I think the most sincere dialogue was between her and her dad. I loved that scene, I loved all of it! It was a fun read (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6:
(view spoiler)[As our mc I really like Megan. Especially that she knows what she wants and she is straight forward when it comes to getting it. I feel sorry for her, because of the whole her dad wants to move on with his "new" family-thing.

However I dislike Madeleine and Tyler. She seems to be everybodys darling and perfect in every way. Getting together with your bffs ex is bad enough but stealing her boyfriend away? That's just a shitty thing to do. (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Chapter 18:
(view spoiler)[Poor Megan, I'm feeling bad for her because of how Will's treating her. I mean, we probably all new this wasn't meant to be, but I still feel sorry for her. At least she was able to hold her ground against Megan.

I'm all Team Owen! He's such a good friend for Megan and he's cute. I'm wondering how the whole situation with his (made up?) girlfriend from Italy resolves. And I'm curious about the whole family-thing, I have the feeling that Rose really is trying to be there for Megan and maybe her Dad thinks Megan doesn't want to be part of his new family, just like she thinks he doesn't want her? (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[Why is Megan so distraught about being cast as Juliet if she wants to work in theater in college? I know it was explained, but I just don't get it. I guess she wants to be a director and not an actor? Also, she's definitely going to end up with Owen at the end. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yes, as I understood it, she wants to direct and not act. What I didn't understood is, why her teacher is giving her the role of Juliet at all - Megan didn't audition for it and doesn't want the role... (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole]

Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[Why is Megan with Will if she's going to end up with Owen? I can tell it's not going to work out with Will, but that's probably supposed to be obvious to the reader. This book is cute so far. I hope Anthony and Eric make up. (hide spoiler)]

@Julie
Ohh, I see. I don't understand either!

[Nicole]

Chapter 21
(view spoiler)[This is getting dramatic! I just read the part where Owen and Megan finally kiss but then they fight and Megan leaves his house crying. I'm glad that Megan finally broke up with Will. he was getting annoying and she made the right choice. (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Astrid wrote: "Chapter 21
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah, she definetly did! Owen is such a sweet guy and Will was so annoying all the time and not was Megan deserved. (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole]

@Julie
(view spoiler)[I totally agree! I haven't liked the main love interest in the past few romance novels I've read recently but I really like Owen and I think him and Megan are good together. (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole]

Finished
(view spoiler)[I liked this book a lot! I loved that Tyler kept the role of Romeo and Megan went through the play with him even though they fought. The part where she says that she looks at him not as Tyler but as Romeo was great. And I'm glad that Megan and Owen were together in the end. (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Astrid wrote: "@Julie

(view spoiler)[Same here, I think Owen was very good written and he wasn't the typical love-interest, they both were building a friendship first and love came later, not the typical insta-love. That was something I really liked about this book. (hide spoiler)]

[Rae]

Chapters 1- 10 (view spoiler)[ I am really liking Megan! it is wonderful to actually have someone who is sure of themselves and what they want. Especially at that age.
But this friend of hers, Madeline... how could she do that. I don't particularly care for Tyler but as a best friend you shouldn't even be looking at the boyfriend... ewww! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Rae]

Chapters 11-20 (view spoiler)[ Will can go kick rocks... like until his feet bleed. I am pretty sure that she will be getting with Owen but honestly I am not 100% sold on that either... it doesn't seem like he is confident enough for her.
Side note... I WOULD NEVER WANT TO WORK IN THEATER!!! it seems way too hectic even at that level. I would just die! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Rae]

My thoughts on Cosima!

[Rae]

Chapter 21-24 (view spoiler)[ I hate that they just went on without her, i do feel like this play is making her confidence go down though. I am going to need Owen to MAKE UP HIS MIND!!! You know she is right for you whats with the mixed signals!!! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Rae]

Chapter 25 - fin (view spoiler)[ that was so freaking sweet! I love that she was Owen's first, forget what I said about her and him not really matching up they were perfect for each other at the end! i love it! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]
