SuitabookNever Have I Ever
Sara Shepard
- Reading
- If murder or danger may feel intense, agree to pause and check in as the mystery develops. The ending and the detail of the harmful games remain unclear, so revisit those concerns while reading.
- Themes
- Identity and impersonation: Emma takes Sutton’s place, including wearing her clothes and calling her parents Mum and Dad, while trying to identify Sutton’s killer. The premise makes identity and family roles part of the mystery, but does not establish whether the impersonation is ultimately approved or challenged.
- Past games and harm: The book addresses past games and harm; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. Past behaviour and its effects appear relevant to the mystery, but the games’ nature and the story’s judgement of them are unknown.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes murder, death and the possibility of further lethal danger to Emma.
