Always Never Yours by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka
My name is Skade. I am a high schooler. I live in Hailey, ID with my mom, dad, brother and dog. I like to bike, swim and play basketball in my free time.
Always Never Yours is by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka. It is about Megan Harper who is a high school senior who loves to flirt with boys, she has never had a true love most of the boys she’s dated have a history of finding their perfect matches right after they’ve dumped her. She loves theater, but always backs away from the spotlight.
Megan wants to major in theater for college but she needs some acting practice in order to get into the college she wants. She auditions for the least important part in Romeo & Juliet but ends up getting the lead, Juliet. When the cast list is up, Megan finds her name, and sees that her ex-boyfriend is playing Romeo. He left Megan for her best friend. She tries to talk to the drama teacher but her teacher thinks this is a good experience for Harper.
Megan soon meets Owen Okita, who is writing a play inspired by Rosaline from Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet and needs Megan’s help. This is a character who, like Megan, knows a thing or two about short-lived relationships. She agrees to help Owen with his play. As Megan spends more time with Owen she wonders if this could be her Romeo. Rosaline is a good book for 9th grade and higher. There is some sex and profanity but other than that, it is great and really drew me in!
