"You have no idea how good it feels to wake up and know you aren't alone. Someone loves you, needs you, wants you. It's addictive."
I enjoyed reading Never Let Me Go. I love this author's dark romance books so I wanted to give this contemporary romance a chance. My favorite scenes were the interaction between the two main characters with the child. He in my opinion stole the spotlight in this book, and his scenes were definitely the ones I enjoyed the most. As for the romance between Lulu and Dorian, I thought their actions the first time they met was a bit too much. However, it didn't make me feel a certain way about the characters. I thought this book was heavily focused on the relationship, which gave me enough time to connect to them. I also enjoyed seeing the characters grow as individuals, especially Dorian who mostly spend his life alone focusing on business, realized there was more to the world than just work.
"What is love but two people, for whatever reason, saying 'never let me go'?"
So why a 3 star rating? The book was a bit on the short side. I didn't feel like the author was rushing until the last quarter of the book. There was a situation and that was resolved pretty quickly. Also the author threw a twist to the story, and I didn't feel like it really belonged. She also didn't really go into it, so it could've easily been left out. It felt like the author wanted to throw an emotional curveball, but it just didn't work out really well. Also the ending was very abrupt, it would've been better if there was at least an epilogue to tell the reader what happened next, and not leave us in the dark. Overall, Never Let Me go was an okay read for me. I will check out this author's other non-dark romances.

It was enjoyable
I can't put my finger on it, but this book just didn't feel like other J.J.s books. I didn't feel invested in the characters, and while story felt rushed (with a couple spelling and grammar mistakes).
I did enjoy the book, and it's an easy read, however I don't feel like I need more of Dorian and Lulu.
I would recommend it, however it's not a masterpiece such as Sugar Baby Beautiful or Ruthless People series.
