It took me a while to not only think of Devi and Ben in Never Have I Ever, even though the pairings don’t have anything in common except for their academic rivalry. Once I got into the book I was surprisingly hooked. It’s sort of lovely and bittersweet. 

I commend the author for the important discussions about feminism, female sexuality, antisemitism and consent. Sometimes the writing was a bit, hm.. on the nose and repetitive. And though the plot was predictable, the characters were lovable and the game of Howl was captivating enough that it didn’t matter. 

This book and the nostalgia/“end of an era”-feeling left me unexpectedly sad haha.
