One of BookPage's best romances of 2025

"If you need a romance to make you believe in love again, this is it. Gilmore packs an ungodly amount of yearning into each page." —BookPage (starred review)

"With a fun music-performance backdrop, Gilmore delivers a unique twist on the popular second-chance trope." —Booklist

“Clare Gilmore is truly THAT girl for me. Clare’s writing grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let up until the end (and then leaves you still thinking about it after). I loved Never Over with all my heart, and it needs to be an auto-buy for second-chance romance fans!” —Sarah Adams, New York Times bestselling author of the Rome, KY series

"Never Over combines three of my favorite things: music, men whose middle name is Yearn, and Clare Gilmore's gorgeous writing. I found myself reading slowly because, selfishly, I never wanted to get kicked out of Paige and Liam's world. This book is tender, intimate, and ridiculously engrossing, and with it, Clare shows why she's one of the most impressive voices in the romance genre." —Jessica Joyce, USA Today bestselling author of The Ex Vows

"Prepare to add Gilmore to your auto-buy list." —Ashley Winstead, USA Today bestselling author of The Boyfriend Candidate

"With crackling chemistry, pitch-perfect banter and one of the swooniest, most emotionally intelligent couples I've ever read, Never Over is a stunning meditation on passion, our own self narratives, and second chances. I loved every second of living in Paige and Liam's world. I'm a Clare Gilmore evangelist for life." —Katie Naymon, author of You Between the Lines
