“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

“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
