ARC Review: Never Over by Clare Gilmore

Publication Date: October 28, 2025

Never Over was one of those books that as soon as I saw the blurb, I knew I HAD to read it. And it completely lived up to the hype. The dual timelines between Liam and Paige were timed out perfectly, and I loved the interwoven moments showing how the past continues to affect their present. There is a tenderness with this story that just caught my heart from the moment I saw it.

So much of Never Over is about choosing yourself as well as choosing love. Watching Paige find her voice through her songwriting and reconnecting with Liam was beautiful to see. Even the moments of tension come from a place of wanting the best for each other. Sometimes, words fail us, but music speaks for us, and this story exemplifies that.

I very clearly loved this book. The musician x sports romance is a combination that I don’t see a lot but always love. Paige and Liam’s second chance story was heartwarming at all the right places. If I could read it again for the first time, I absolutely would!! 

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and St. Martin’s Griffin for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
