By Real Divas of Literature "1 Book Club in the... (World Wide) - See all my reviews
NEVER SAY NEVER BY JULIA THOMAS WAS A EXCELLENT READ. NEVER SAY NEVER IS ABOUT FOUR GIRLFRIENDS WHO HAS INDURED SO MUCH GROWING UP. AMANDA COMES FROM A LINE OF EDUCATED WOMEN AND WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO SUCCEED. SHE MEETSHER MATCH WHEN SHE MEETS DR.KEN.LANAE COMES FROM A FAMILY WHO DOEN'T WANT HER BUT WITH THE LOVE OF HER PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER JEAN HER MAKES A TURN FOR THE BEST.MONIQUE COMES FROM A GOOD FAMILY BUT WHEN HER PARENTS DIE SHE DISCOVERS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN KEEPING A SECRET FROM HER. CELESTE IS JUST LOOKING FOR LOVE AND IS BLINDED BY IT.
I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT FRIENDSHIP. IT SHOWS THAT IF YOU HAVE FAITH AND TRUST IN GOD YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. MS. THOMAS DID A EXCELLENT WITH THIS NOVEL. THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE URBAN BOOK BUT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN.WILL THESE LADIES BE ABLE TO FIND LOVE AND HAPPINESS? WILL THERE PAST BE THERE DEMISE? I GIVE THIS BOOK 5 STARS

Never say Never 'cause sometimes we do the very thing we said we would never do'
Doesn't the title of this book reminds you when mother or granny first gave you the advice not to ever say, "never say what you won't do". Of course we probably just looked, because in our mind we weren't ever going to do it.
A few of those "Never say Never", meant it, but did it, went something like this: Never will I kiss on the first date, did it. Never will I be caught waiting by the phone until he calls, did it, Never will I marry more than once, did it.
Introducing us, thorugh the lives of LaNae, Celeste, Monique & Amanda who also did it. These four women each vowed to "Never" make certain traits apart of their lives. Now, those traits, 4 to be exact were not bad preferences, but life as we think we know it always brings about a change that leads you on a different path than the one you planned for yourself.
Never say Never characters are faced with life's disapointments, growing pains, heartfelt moments, true friendship, revenge, complex confusion, blessings and love that abides. Each character will have to make a decision that will shape their future for the rest of their lives.
The author provides a two-way mirror, one side, the characters and the other side, Maybe You.
A revelation packed storyline sure to hold yor attention.
On a scale of 1-4, my rating of Never Say Never....is a 4

Couldn't put it down.........
I give this book a 5 star.....I couldn't put it down. It was very good and entertaining you never knew what to expect.
I think Julia Thomas is a great story teller and I can't wait until she writes the next one. Good luck.....
