I’m still reading Never Have I Ever and I’ve noticed some foreshadowing Sara Shepard, the author, is using. In chapter 11, Emma, the main character, and Ethan sneak into Emma’s neighbor’s pool at night because her neighbors are out of town. Right when they are getting out of the pool, lights shone thorough a fence and they heard a car outside. Ethan left and Emma went to go check if the car was still there. It was gone. Emma suspected that someone had been watching them while they were swimming. Then, when Emma gets back into her house, she is surprised by Laurel, Emma’s younger sister, who is still awake. Laurel asks Emma a bunch of questions about what Emma was up to so late at night, and Laurel already seems to know she was swimming and was with someone. Laurel seems like a very suspicious character and might do something in the future to harm Emma. This whole book is about secrets and mysteries, and the girls in the book are all involved in “Lying Games” which are pretty in-depth pranks they pull on each other. I think Laurel might try to pull a “Lying Game” on Emma with secrets she knows. I still have to finish the book to find out what happens next.
I read this novel too, and I agree that every character seems really suspicious. Sara Shepard sets it up this way to keep the mystery alive. I remember there being a big twist at the end, where the mystery is explained.
