A few of the reviews I’ve received along the way.
“This is an amazing novel, and I do mean AMAZING! I highly recommend it. Bostic is a phenomenal writer, and her debut novel comes from the heart. Bostic has created such authentic, vivid characters that, as the reader, you can’t help but feel for them; it’s like they’re your best friends too.” ~ Books: The Cheapest Vacation You Can Buy
“Megan’s not just created a memorable character in Austin, she’s constructed a positive role model for both kids and adults. This book is definitely an excellent addition to the libraries of readers of all ages.” ~ Bex Boox
“This is a fantastic novel and while it made me cry I would highly recommend it. I can’t wait to see what else Bostic comes out with after this amazing debut.” ~ The Lady Critic
“This is a quick read. It’s not too long, but it requires some emotional dedication. This is one of those books that will make you think and wish you were a better person. Very well written.” ~ Deborah Andreasen
“If there are never enough life lessons to learn in this unpromising world of ours, turn to this startling novel written by Megan Bostic. The story was solely based on earthly matters – life, death, friendship, love, and trust. I’d count off all the emotions I’ve ventured through in this book, but I’d literally run out of fingers. I don’t think I’ve read a book so deep within passion since Our Town, and yet, that still had no affect on me the way this novel did.” ~ My Home Away From Home
“Bostic’s ability to weave humor, hope, love and happiness into a hugely tragic event is simply beautiful. This may be a short read, but don’t underestimate it. If you are ever feeling sorry for yourself, read this book, it will really put your life into perspective. I would definitely recommend it.” ~ I Like These Books
“This was such a beautiful and moving story with equally beautiful writing. There are books out there where I needed to step back from just because it was too emotional. I found myself doing that several times with this book. I had difficulty breathing by the time I got to the epilogue and seriously needed to go for a drive afterwards. Dramatic much? Maybe. Read this book and then we’ll talk.” ~ Joyous Reads
“You know going into Never Eighteen that this story is not a happy ever after…. Yes it’s a story of death, but it’s also a story of love and hope… It is heartwarming, heartbreaking and heart wrenching and it will touch your heart as it did mine.” ~ YA Book Addict
