Love Me Never by Sara Wolf (Realistic Fiction)

Isis Blake has just moved to a new town in Ohio from her home in Florida, trying to get away from both her and her mom’s messy past there. She has lost 85-pounds and is determined never to fall in love again. When she arrives she meets her new best friend Kayla and also finds a new enemy, Jack Hunter. Jack is known as the Ice Prince, he is a completely closed book and no once can figure him out. As her friendships and rivals develop at her new school, she realizes there is something she is missing. Not only is there a mysterious girl that Jack won’t go away to college to stay for, but there is one night that happened years ago that no one will tell her what happened.

Love Me Never is the kind of book that once you start, you don’t want to stop until you finish it. The characters in this book are all very complex, near the beginning of the book they seem like your stereotypical high school romance characters but as the book develops, so do the characters. Since the book goes into details of the characters backstories, it gives them much more depth. If you are planning on reading this book, be prepared to read the second and third books in the Lovely Vicious series, Forget Me Always, and Remember Me Forever. The other 2 books complete the story so it is best to read all three. The author does a really great job of slowing giving details of each character’s past. For example, in the beginning, you know that Isis had a bad experience with an ex-boyfriend back in Florida but as you continue reading, there are small pieces of information thrown in about him throughout that start to come together in your head. Also, there is some big event that happened in Jack’s life that is very unknown in the beginning of the book but throughout it, it starts to come together slowly and in the second and third books, it is continued to be expanded on.
