NEVER EVER

Sara Saedi

Peter Pan meets Pretty Little Liars in this screenwriter’s debut.
"I, Wylie Dalton, solemnly swear to: Never ever grow up. Never ever turn into my parents. Never ever fall in love..."

When Wylie encounters Phinn—confident, mature, and devastatingly handsome—at a party the night before her brother goes to juvie, she can’t believe how fast she falls for him. Wylie and her brothers find themselves whisked away to a mysterious tropical island off the coast of NYC where nobody ages beyond seventeen and life is a constant party.

Wylie’s in heaven: now her brother won’t go to jail and she can escape her over-scheduled life with all its woes and responsibilities. But the deeper Wylie falls for Phinn, the more she begins to discover has been kept from her and her brothers. Somebody on the island has been lying to her, but the truth can’t stay hidden forever.

Born in Tehran, Iran and raised in the Bay Area, Sara Saedi received her B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley in film and mass communications. After college, Sara pursued a career in television at ABC Daytime where she worked as the director of west coast programming. In 2010, Sara decided to depart the company to pursue a writing career. Since then, she has penned three TV movies for ABC Family and has had multiple pilots and feature projects in development. In 2011, Sara was awarded a Daytime Emmy in Outstanding New Approaches for “What If...”, a web series she wrote for ABC. Most recently, she was a staff writer on the FOX comedy The Goodwin Games from the creators of How I Met Your Mother. Never Ever is Sara’s first novel. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband.

Saedi, in her debut novel, creates an original, fantastical world for her lost children… Fans of Danielle Paige’s Dorothy Must Die series will love this dark version of another childhood tale. A cliff-hanger ending promises more strange adventures ahead.

An edgy thrill ride . . . a cleverly repackaged Peter Pan for teens, with characters and subplots that beg for a sequel.

A shocking twist awaits the reader, giving this just enough to separate it from other Peter Pan offshoots.
