Never Gonna Tell by Sarah M. Ross

4.0

When I first started reading this story I struggled with the idea that none of what was happening would happen in real life. Then I remembered that this book isn't real life it's fiction and that I need to lighten up. Once I snapped out of my snobbish thoughts and tried to imagine myself as my 15 year old daughter reading this book, I really started to enjoy it.

The story is fast paced and well-written. I found myself cheering for Reagan and shaking my head at some of the decisions she made at the same time. I was a fan of Marco's from the very start and couldn't wait to see him redeem himself, though I still question if there was much to redeem at all. The secondary characters weren't really a focal point in the story but I learned enough about them that I'm sort of intrigued by at least Charlie and wouldn't mind reading more of his story.
If you like a good mafia suspense and enjoy a good YA (leaning NA) novel then I would recommend this in a heartbeat.
