About Never, Not Ever

Wishing her dad would show up. Avoiding her mum. Ignoring the way Zack makes her feel.

That’s how 16-year-old Tilly has kept it all together.

But when the dad she’s only dreamed of appears -and the family lies unravel -Tilly’s carefully constructed world cracks wide open.

Family secrets. Tangled feelings. A summer that changes everything.

Never, Not Ever the story she expected.
