Dave and Julia are determined to not fall victim to high school clichés. The night before the first day of their freshman year they draft a list of all the clichés they must avoid in the years to come. All goes well until March of their senior year when Julia decides that, before the school year ends, they have to complete every item. (Even the one about never dating your best friend.) High school as they know it is turned upside down, and Dave and Julia begin to see the world in a new light. Adi Alsaid’s Never Always Sometimes is a funny and endearing story of friendship and high school told by two people living it to the fullest.
