From Adi Alsaid, the acclaimed author of Let's Get Lost, North of Happy, and We Didn't Ask for This A story about being in love with love. Dumped by her boyfriend the summer after senior year, popular love-and-dating columnist Lu Charles can't seem to write another word. Devastated, she spends her time wondering if everything she used to believe about love was a lie. But when Lu overhears another college-bound couple breaking up--before deciding to stay together for one final summer--she is inspired. Could Cal and Iris be the key to solving her writers block? Lu starts chronicling the couple's final weeks around New York City, ignoring her friends, her family, even her looming column deadlines as she becomes Cal and Iris's unofficial third wheel. With her NYU scholarship hanging in the balance, will Lu be able to discover the truth about love that she's been looking for? Or will she learn a much greater lesson?

Reviews
"Many teens will find something to take away from this story. Hand to fans of Jenny Han or other romantic comedies." -Booklist "A refreshing novel about friendship and romance that defies cliché, Never Always Sometimes will win readers over with its hilarious musings and universal truths." -Adam Silvera, author of More Happy Than Not on Never Always Sometimes "An utterly charming and thoughtful meditation on love, friendship and all the territories in between." -Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything on Never Always Sometimes "Reminiscent of John Green's Paper Towns, Alsaid's debut is a gem." -School Library Journal on Let's Get Lost "Debut author Alsaid creates enough adventure to make the stories feel breathless." -Publishers Weekly on Let's Get Lost "There is a kernel of truth in every cliché, and Alsaid cracks the teen-lit trope of friends becoming lovers wide open, exposing a beautiful truth inside. He also perfectly captures the golden glow of senioritis, a period when teens are bored and excited and wistful and nostalgic all at once. Everything is possible in this handful of weeks, including making up for squandered time." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review on Never Always Sometimes "An exceptional tale of grief, ambition, love, and maturity." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review on North of Happy
