I will definitely recommend this book to new adult, romance lovers. Your Rating:. She finds a dangerous method to help her cope. She doesn't feel safe wi Don't let the synopsis of this book fool you. She doesn't feel safe with others except her best friend Guy.
For Hope, trust and love are very terrifying for her emotionally, physically and dangerous to her heart and defenses. Then Mason happens in to her life. I have no idea what happened, or how, or even why. I was just walking through life one day and, BAM.
Mason smashed into me. Into my mind. My body. My heart. He's filled every fraction of me. Every minute, of every day, Mason is a part of me. They realize how so alike they are in random ways which helps with their relationship as these two opposites strongly attract to each other.
It's a part of what made him but its not what makes him once he meets Hope. He never uses it in anyway against her. It's not a topic that the author has the reader dwell over thankfully. Hope's issues take more precedence in this story. Mason is a bit messed up too, just in a different way than Hope. Hope and Mason must over come obstacles in their path if they want to stay together. They need to learn to trust each other, love each other, and let their defensive walls down.
I like the cast of secondary characters. They were there as supporters and good friends. They made you want to care about them and their feelings. They made you want to know what happens to them down the road too.
I hope a few of them get their own book. For me I felt this book was about learning how to: cope, trust, figure out relationships and there different forms, love someone and oneself, and finally how to let go, move on, and free oneself of past demons.
Now, because of you, I'm making days count. As for the epilogue, even though I loved it, it needed a little bit of clarification regarding the time line even though I think I have it all straightened out in my mind.
I will definitely read another book by this author in the future. View all 5 comments. Jan 01, Francesca rated it liked it Shelves: ya-contemporary. This book has gone the way of recent YA and NA novels such as The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden and Hopeless - where the guy and the girl have an equally messed up past, overcome their personal demons and find comfort and love in each other.
Hope is a bit of a bad ass. I love how she managed to This book has gone the way of recent YA and NA novels such as The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden and Hopeless - where the guy and the girl have an equally messed up past, overcome their personal demons and find comfort and love in each other.
While Mason is a bit of a pussy in my opinion. And I don't mean emotional shit since that is acceptable given what she went through. I'm referring to things she did that were just pure bitchiness view spoiler [such as continuing to date Parker even though she was kind of dating Mason too.
As long as Mason could be with her, he was okay with it. The other thing that bugged me was the instalove — Hope and Mason knew each other for a day and were suddenly obsessed with one another. This was literally their second or third time hanging out. I know Hope was being somewhat facetious when she said this but it just seemed too fast to be realistic to me.
I hate instalove almost as much as love triangles. He was hilarious and so refreshing. With who? What is your obsession with public oral sex? Yeah, too much info, for real. Guy chuckles. Guy laughs. And if he were given his own story, I would snap it up in a heartbeat. Overall, this wasn't too bad of a read - more predictable than anything.

Blogger VanillaOrchid recommended this series, and I'm so glad she did! I hadn't heard of this author but I plan on gobbling up the series based on my love for this first book.
Bookworm Brandee also recommended Reason to Breathe which I plan to review soon.

While Sometimes Never touches on sad issues like parent abandonment, parent death, sexual abuse, and self-injury, the characters address these issues in such a lighthearted manner that I often found myself cracking up.
It's rare that I love both the heroine and the hero as much as I fell for Hope and Mason. Hope Love yes, that's really her name is a high school foster kid who doesn't believe in relationships or love despite her last name. She's a candy addict who plays drums for a band. She's spunky and irreverent. Here she is typing away in an internet chat room: ASL flashed on the computer screen. Age, sex, and location. I sat back and thought, Who do I want to be today?
I never tell the truth. Seventeen, female, living in a house with seven other kids in Ohio. Like a fucked up, twenty-first century version of The Brady Bunch.
Usually when the first question has to do with your age and sex, it's a horny, middle aged man looking to cyber. When I'm in a mood, like I was last night -- sick of the world and all its bullshit -- I like to put on my Fergus persona. Fergus is a fifteen year old boy, recently discovering his gay sexuality. Mason is an eighteen-year-old who just moved to Hope's town and of course he notices her right away.
His dark hair and green eyes sound delicious, but what most attracted me is his personality. He also has a wonderful sense of humor: Hope Love. What kind of name is that? And then I laugh because I hear some kind of pun in my statement. I play around with the words in my head. I Hope I can get in Love. I'd Love to have some Hope. Ha, I'd Love a little sliver of Hope. I could do this all day. Hope and Mason seem to bring out the best in each other.
They're both sarcastic individuals who have been through tough times, but they actually feel happy in each other's presence. Unfortunately, Hope is sort of dating the lead singer in her band Park--love his name and she has a dark secret that makes her feel unworthy of being happy. But Mason doesn't scare away easily. Each time he unwittingly pushes Hope too hard, he gently apologizes until her panic settles down. I like how Mason realizes he can't "save" Hope, as much as he wants to.
I love the quirky realness of the characters. The only aspects I didn't love are the title and the reason Mason's father died, which seemed a tad overdramatic to me. I hear the next books in this series deal with side characters from this novel, and I can't wait to see what this author has in store for me next! I highly recommend this series.
Dec 24, Jennifer Kyle rated it liked it. View all 4 comments. I need to release the poison. The fear. The anger. I want the pain that festers inside of me - Out. I want it on the outside. On my flesh. Where I say how I hurt. Where I say when. Where I say for how long. Where I say stop. Where I can stop it. I'm so ugly. I am so fucking ugly. My insides are disgusting. There is nothing good inside of me.
I'm not a nice person. I'm not smart. I'm not funny. I am selfish. There is nothing special about me. I can't stand the sight of myself. I hate myself. I hate everything that makes me, Me. I can't even begin to tell you about the incredible story of Hope and Mason. Hope was amazing, She was real, she was broken and I just wanted to climb through my kindle and hug the shit out of her!
Hope self harms, to deal with her painful past. It's an addiction. It's like an itch that no matter how many times I scratch and dig at it, it just won't stop tingling until I'm raw and bloody. It may settle down for a while, but it never actually stops prickling and crawling below the surface. Just waiting to flareup and grab hold of my sanity again.
Mason, who is dealing with his own demons is amazing! Just perfect for Hope, sees past her insecurities and gets through to her. Both so terrified of what they feel for each other and what that means they slowly start to let each other in.
This was intense, Cheryl McIntyre brings these characters to life on such a raw level, You feel them, you experience their pain right along with them! The writing.. Oh was just beautiful Im utterly in love, the words just flowed off the page, I couldn't get enough!
The words spoke to me, called to me, captured me. They tell me that you're beautiful. Wax me, dye me, chop and dice me, and tell me that I'm beautiful. Choose me, use me, take me break me, and tell me that I'm beautiful. Bleach it cover it, go ahead and remove it. Break me. Break me to fit you.

First sentence: When people talk about what initially attracts them to someone, that first glimpse that makes them turn around and take a second glance, they usually say something sweet. We can die at any moment. I only gave it two instead of First sentence: When people talk about what initially attracts them to someone, that first glimpse that makes them turn around and take a second glance, they usually say something sweet.
I only gave it two instead of one because it made me laugh so hard at times. For the rest of the book, I tried really hard to like her. I know why she cuts. I understand that. But I couldn't feel bad or sorry for her. And it's not like Mason was any better. Okay, he was. He's an awesome person and an amazing boyfriend.
But totally spineless. He was practically her toy throughout the book. Even if she was the one who screwed up, it somehow ended up being Mace's fault, and each time she got upset, cut herself and didn't talk to him for a few days. And THEN she realized he didn't do anything wrong.
I do understand the forcing her shorts up part, I'd be angry too. I can't believe he just up and left his mother who is a single mother and depends on him with her younger son and all and his little brother who sees him as a role model and everything he wants to be just so he can stay with his high school sweetheart which he only knew for about a month.
A big big big no-no. I thought I might read the next few, but honestly, the only people I'm interested in reading about are Guy and Kellin. And I can't suffer another book with Hope in it. Jan 20, Francine rated it it was amazing. I stumbled across this book yesterday. At the beginning, i was intrigued. I loved this story. Do not read any further if you don't want to know anything about Hope and Mason!!!! Hope doesn't like labels, and commitments 'freak' her out. What kind of person whould be ok with you going for a relationship with a boy even if it meant hurting his good friend just because he wants you to be happy.
You named me Skittles? As if I'm creeping on someones's personal moment. I take a step back and guys puts his index finger up, gesturing for me to hold on. So I wait, with my hands in my pockets Guy puts the finger up again, this time signaling me over to him. He rolls out from Hope's embrace and guides me until I am filling his spot. Mason came back, and hope let him. It's the person. It's you and it's me. That's the important part.
I happen to love where I am. In your bed that smells like you, surrounded by things that make you you. Put this on your TBR. One Click.

Both just floating though life. She is constantly moving Mason and his younger brother Kellin around, never settling for too long. Well with anything really.
He uses sex and his anger to get him through the days. Until the next move. Hope Love is wh Sometimes never is a distorted perception.
Crazy hair included. She has a certain circle of friends. She is addicted to candy. Hard shell but soft on the inside.
Guy is her gay best friend, also her cousin, he is the closest person she has. She hides behinds her anger, her drums and the music she writes. I was pretty much addicted from the first paragraph. It was: When people talk about what initially attracts them to someone, that first glimpse that makes them turn around and take a second glance, they usually say something sweet. Like pretty eyes or a nice smile. Shiny, bright pink, polished toes dangling from the passenger side window of a car.
I bet you wanna know more about the toes as well now?! There is sex but not detailed sex. BUT It covers some pretty tough topics! Drink driving, self harming, Gay bashing, sexual assault, paedophilia, just to name a few. There is comedic relief is this well to take away from the seriousness. Some great banter as well. I watch Mason pull his Oreo apart and scrape off the icing centre.
He flicks it right into the trash can before popping the dry biscuit into his mouth. My mouth nearly falls open. We are made for each other in cookie heaven. Guy stares at Mason intensely. Or balance. If you will. Learn to trust Learn to love. The band members Park and Chase. As well as other foster kids. As a self proclaimed cover whore I need to tell you to ignore the shit cover and go on give it a try.
Dec 15, Dawn rated it it was amazing. This book I loved this book from beginning to end, but then again, I love books that alternate between points of view, allowing me to get into the character's heads. I was totally shocked when I read Hope's first chapter chapter 2 and found out what her "vice" was. I have never read a book where a character did "this", so it was quite and experience for me.
Yes, I am being vague on purpose. I wasn't sure if I'd get into this book because of this vice, but I was very wrong. I loved Mason. By the end of chapter one I was pretty sure I would I love him. Is that even a word? If not, it should be! I think what I liked most was Mason wasn't your typical "bad boy".
Yes, he had girls swooning over him and he knew he was hot, but he didn't spend the book acting like a bad boy. He willingly and happily took care of his younger brother. He had a great relationship with his mother.
He stood up for people being bullied. He had empathy for others. And there is also the part where he wanted to save Hope! But he was not without faults. So often, in stories like these, the main characters come from messed up families. That is the case for Hope, but what I really liked in this book was that Mason had a loving home. Not a perfect home, and his family did suffer a horrible tragedy, but it was none-the-less a loving home.
I do not even know where to begin with Hope! I loved Hope's quirkiness! She seemed like such a badass, yet would say things like "cheese and rice"! She did have a horrible upbringing. Her mom was basically worthless and Hope suffered through things no child should, leading to her vice. And because of this, she also, understandably, has trouble trusting people, developing relationships, or making commitments--or so she thinks.
I don't want to say much more about Hope because I think it's better to read the book and get to know her. I really liked the other characters as well. I loved Hope's best friend, Guy! He was hysterical! My toes stick into the mucky bottom and I pause. His skin is golden and smooth.
I stifle a sigh at the sight of him. Park has a nice six-pack, but this… Mason is… Am I still breathing? Unhooking his belt draws my attention from his chest. My eyes focus on the way his hands move expertly over the buckle before trailing up.
His eyes are trained on me, taking in my observation of his unclothed gloriousness. When did I become one of these people? And I am not ashamed. I give him a grin and continue into the water. Mason drops his pants, revealing white boxers with tiny four leaf clovers all over them.
