Loved it! This would be a wonderful book to read aloud as a family and could lead to good discussions about important issues teens or their family and friends may encounter. Never Less offers just the right amount of suspense and mystery for young readers and a satisfactory conclusion that shows a model of a family walking through a dark time and coming out closer and stronger. I love the message that family is worth fighting for-no matter what the cost. Jill Stanish, Reedsy Discovery reviewer ""Never Less is a compelling story told through the eyes of two engaging and very likable 12-year olds. Their bravery and friendship made me want them to succeed against a truly evil villain and kept me reading until the riveting ending."" Dr. Lawrence Walser, M.D. ""This is not just a story about addiction, but a story about two teens who care so much about their fathers that they are willing to do anything to keep them safe. Pablo and Mindy are wise beyond their years, and their tenacity and big hearts showcase the importance of family, biological or chosen."" Lindsay Larris, MSW, LCSW, LCADC, licensed therapist and alcohol and drug counselor ""Never Less deals with a difficult and highly-charged subject in a thoughtful way. Author Geoffrey Wells has taken great care to craft an empathetic novel that will spark important conversations with middle school students."" Jeannie Moon - Librarian and USA Today bestselling author of adult fiction. What I liked best about this story is how much these kids value their friendship. Though they are from different backgrounds, they are, in every sense of the word, simpatico. In an ideal world, young people shouldn't have to deal with adult problems. But we know better. Sometimes, they have no choice. And in Never Less, they do not shy away from their responsibility. Steven Ramirez, Author.
