Sometimes Never, Sometimes Always deals with religion, homosexuality, suicide, bullying, love and finding yourself. I just think there were too many issues going on. I did think this was an enjoyable, quick read. Religion can be the cause of much conflict in people’s lives. This is another aspect of the book that was believable. I respect other people’s beliefs and I have my own, but I can’t stand it when religion is shoved down people’s throats. Cass is surrounded by a family who are so religious and religion is particularly powerful in the community in which she lives. However, for some reason I had trouble with connecting with Cass, even though I understood where she was coming from.Ī lot of this book does focus on religion. Thinking about it, this is what many people are like. She did come over very hypocritical, slamming people who bully, yet not being the nicest person herself. It is like she’s not sure who she is and she’s trying to find an identity. Cass changes her attitude quite frequently in the story. This is utterly believable, I think we’ve all gone through this at some point in our lives.
Cass believes that she’s been a follower all of her life, she wants to find her own way and work out who she really wants to be. Her family are incredibly religious and they force their religion upon her. I just found Cass to be quite hypocritical and also quite selfish.Ĭass is a teenager who isn’t sure what she believes in. This doesn’t always matter, but I really wanted to like her. It was completely readable, but I didn’t really get to like the protagonist Cass. I have really mixed feelings about this book.
