Jennifer E. Smith meets The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy in Lily Anderson's Not Now, Not Ever, a deliciously nerdy companion to The Only Thing Worse than Me Is You

ONE OF Paste's BEST YOUNG ADULT BOOKS IN NOVEMEBER 2017

"A wonderful book." ―School Library Journal

Elliot Gabaroche is very clear on what she isn't going to do this summer.

1. She isn't going to stay home in Sacramento, where she'd have to sit through her stepmother's sixth community theater production of The Importance of Being Earnest.
2. She isn't going to mock trial camp at UCLA.
3. And she certainly isn't going to the Air Force summer program on her mom's base in Colorado Springs. As cool as it would be to live-action-role-play Ender's Game, Ellie's seen three generations of her family go through USAF boot camp up close, and she knows that it's much less Luke/Yoda/"feel the force," and much more one hundred push-ups on three days of no sleep. And that just isn't appealing, no matter how many Xenomorphs from Alien she'd be able to defeat afterwards.

What she is going to do is pack up her determination, her favorite Octavia Butler novels, and her Jordans, and run away to summer camp. Specifically, a cutthroat academic-decathlon-like competition for a full scholarship to Rayevich College―the only college with a Science Fiction Literature program, and her dream school. She’s also going to start over as Ever Lawrence a new name for her new beginning. She’s even excited spend her summer with the other nerds and weirdos in the completion, like her socially-awkward roommate with neon-yellow hair, and a boy who seriously writes on a typewriter and is way cuter than is comfortable or acceptable.

The only problem with her excellent plan to secretly win the scholarship and a ticket to her future her golden-child, super-genius cousin Isaiah has had the same idea, and has shown up at Rayevich smugly ready to steal her dreams and expose her fraud in the process.

This summer’s going to be great.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: While I'm not sure Lily can ever top The Only Thing Worse Than Me Is You, her sophomore novel, Not Now, Not Ever, is just as wonderful. It is nerdy and swoony and funny in all the best ways.
It took me a teeny bit of time to get used to Ever, but her voice is distinct from TOTWTMIY's protagonist, Trixie. She isn't used to having friends or knowing she's smart, but she's just as driven and she's tentative about letting emotions get in the way of her goals. She's just as nerdy as the TOTWTMIY gang, except her knowledge revolves around science fiction, not pop culture. Her roommate is a ball of fun and so sweet, and I'm glad there was no cattiness between them. And y'all, I thought Brandon was adorable in TOTWTMIY, but he's even better here now that he's a senior and sharing the spotlight. He's still tentative and shy but a little less so, and his personality really shines. He is precious and wonderful and totally going on my list of book boyfriends. Although his and Ever's relationship moved a little fast, it never felt like insta-love - just friendship and attraction. Also, I loved all the cameos from the other characters. Some are more prominent than others, and some have grown beards (which I find hilarious). (Also it turns out Cornell is black, and I feel so bad for assuming he was white during the whole course of TOTWTMIY.)
The plot revolves around another academic mystery, and the answer to this one definitely surprised me, and I didn't see it coming.
My only real problem with NNNE was that the ending felt a teeny bit rushed, and it lacked a certain resolution, especially because I felt certain Ever's parents wouldn't let her go to Rayevich if she didn't have a full-ride scholarship. Oh well.
There was definitely more swearing than in TOTWTMIY, but romance and violence were all fairly clean (although there's mention of a college-age couple living together).

The Verdict: My words can't do justice to this book.

Not Now Not Ever A Novel Lily Anderson Books Reviews

Lily Anderson’s companion novel to The Only Thing Worse Than Me Is You is inspired by Oscar Wilde’s jovial play The Importance of Being Earnest. In Not Now, Not Ever, seventeen-year-old Elliot Gabaroche concocts a plan to attend Camp Onward in an effort to win a scholarship to her dream college. The only problem is she has to do it without her overprotective family finding out. But as Ever Laurence, Elliot gets to be whomever she chooses, without the expectations of her parents hanging over her head. Winning one of the few scholarships at a camp full of geniuses and keeping her scheme a secret becomes increasingly more difficult when Elliot’s annoying younger cousin Isaiah shows up, hoping to win a scholarship himself.

Elliot is a character who is easily relatable. On the verge of adulthood, Ellie needs to decide what path her life is going to take. This isn’t easy when she’s been born into a family where her choice of career means choosing one parents over the other. Her mother expects her to attend the Air Force Academy over the summer, to follow in so many Laurences’ footsteps. Her father and stepmother are hoping she takes a different route — the former hoping she chooses to study law like him. Elliot on the other hand has dreams of her own. At Rayevich College she’d have a chance to study her all-time favorite authors like Octavia Butler and N. K. Jemisin. Even though Elliot’s family is a point of contention in the novel, I loved how important a role family played in the story. It’s easy to see how much Elliot loves her parents and how much she doesn’t want to disappoint any of them. I also loved that this novel has a positive portrayal of a blended family where Elliot’s stepmom is an important part of her life. Elliot’s relationship with her cousin Isaiah has been defined by a childhood where her own accomplishments were always overshadowed by his own. I wanted more for the two of these characters in terms of their relationship. In the end, it felt like Elliot had more of a chance to mature, but this is her story, so it’s somewhat understandable.

The Only Thing Worse Than Me Is You is filled with nerdy references and Anderson does not disappoint in this department when it comes to Not Now, Not Ever. A camp full of nerdy geniuses provides plenty of opportunity to celebrate all things geeky. Anderson has a way of writing settings where the cast of characters gets to celebrate their nerdiness in a fun and unapologetic way. One of my favorite things about her books is how authentic and relatable these incredibly intelligent characters end up being. Fans of the first novel will recognize some familiar faces and rediscover others. Elliot’s love interest, Brandon, for example, is a character that I didn’t know I wanted an update on. Their relationship is sweet with just enough realism to feel authentic.

Not Not, Not Ever is the perfect contemporary for those who love nerd culture. It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend everyone pick up both of Anderson’s novels as she continues to impress me with her writing.
