Never Have I Ever (Part 2)
I read more of Never Have I Ever and it's getting really good. Sara Shepard has a way of keeping you totally engaged in the book by adding a bunch of mysteries and secrets to unfold. A chapter I just read was about a "lying game", or a prank, that Sutton played on her friends. In the book, Sutton is dead, and her sister Emma is taking her place, but for this chapter, there was a flashback on the prank Sutton pulled. She was driving her friends, Char, Mads, Gabby, Lili, and Laurel to a party. It was dark and they were passing over a train track when the car ran out of gas. The girls tried opening windows, unlocking doors, breaking glass, but they were trapped inside the car and a train was approaching. Laurel got out her phone, called 911, and told the police their situation. But, the train was approaching too quickly. While all the girls were panicking and realizing the end of their life was near, Sutton reached to the dashboard and released the choke. The car rolled off the tracks, Sutton unlocked the doors, and everyone fell out just inches away from the train rushing by. Then Sutton exclaimed, "Wasn't that the best prank ever?!" Later in the chapter, we find out that Gabby was missing right after they got off the train tracks. So, Sara Shepard uses little mysteries and dramatic and intense scenes that make the book addictive and hard to put down. I also think, the train track lying game will be a very important part in the book that shows Sutton's daring personality.

This part of the book seems very intriguing and interesting how Sutton would put herself and her friends in danger like that. I'm reading The Lying Game right now and Never Have I Ever seems very good to and I'd like to keep reading this series. It seems like Sara Shepard makes the reader keep wanting to read because of the scary/exciting parts in the book. This part of the book seems like it really shows Sutton's personality and how she can be too daring by putting lives in danger.
