Never Been Shipped

Praise

“This book changed me on a molecular level. The friends-to-lovers tension is absolutely sublime, with a yearning so soul-deep, it’s crushing to imagine these characters spending a single second of their lives with anyone else. This isn’t just Alicia Thompson at her very best, although it certainly is — it’s everything that makes the romance genre great. Vivid and wise and deeply intoxicating, Never Been Shipped is one of my new favorite books of all time.”—Rachel Lynn Solomon, New York Times bestselling author of Business or Pleasure

“Sexy and nostalgic, Never Been Shipped has all the yearning tension you come to Alicia Thompson for! Add Micah and John to the list of characters I’d like to take a fandom cruise with!”—Julie Soto, USA Today bestselling author of Not Another Love Song

“Alicia Thompson’s Never Been Shipped speaks to the ways that music and love connect people across distance and time. I was invested in Micah and John’s love story from the first page, and I loved witnessing the friends to lovers progression of their relationship. Alicia Thompson is one of my favorite contemporary romance writers, and as always, I can’t wait to read whatever she writes next!”—Kristina Forest, USA Today bestselling author of The Love Lyric

“With Never Been Shipped, Alicia Thompson put me right in the room with the band. I could taste the tension, smell the hint of metal in the air from the instruments, and feel the electricity between Micah and John. I’m something of a cynic, so I love it when a writer can convince me that a couple is destined to be together. How could anyone not ship those two? Their love for each other was swoon-worthy even before their second first kiss. Micah and John 4ever! Encore, please.”—Xio Axelrod, USA Today bestselling author of Girls with Bad Reputations

“Alicia Thompson’s Never Been Shipped is the perfect combination of wit, steam, and heartache — exactly as I’ve come to expect from one of my favorite authors. I believed in the world she crafted, every sensory experience she described, and most importantly, the inevitability of Micah and John’s relationship. Alicia Thompson has done it again!”—Rachel Runya Katz, author of Whenever You’re Ready

“Filled with witty dialogue and sizzling chemistry, Thompson’s characters spark on the page as they attempt to mend what was once broken. Fans of rockstar romances and
friends-to-lovers dynamics will adore experiencing John and Micah finding each other once again, as well as the very realistic dive into the culture of music.”—Booklist

“Fans of Thompson’s With Love, from Cold World will enjoy seeing familiar characters, and readers who love second-chance romance and forced proximity will be in dual-trope heaven.”—Library Journal
