Book Review: Never Look Back
Never Look Back by Lilliam Rivera
Eury has been tormented by an evil spirit, Ato, since she was very young. She visits New York in hopes that the evil spirit won’t be able to find her there. In New York, she meets Pheus, a boy who sings the best bachatas around. However, Ato discovers where Eury is; it is up to Pheus to save Eury.
This modern play on Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice is a great romance that shows everyone has something going on in their lives and it’s important not to judge. Pheus eventually learns that you should always try to help even if you don’t understand what’s going on. I really appreciated the lessons that this book teaches, while also seeing how Eury and Pheus figure out what is best for them.
