OMG WHAT HAVE I READ?!

What an ending!!

I don't even know what to say. Never Never is one of the most gripping YA reads I've read this year. It definitely lives up to the hype. I don't want to say much in case I spoil it for anyone but if you like contemporray YA that's a little dark, you should give this a try.

I need book two!

So much angst! 5 never never stars!

Awesome Book!!! 4.7

The descriptions throughout the book are what grabs readers and keep them immersed in the story. Charlie and Silas’ story is such a beautiful reminder of how one will truly miss something that is so important to them after they no longer have it and will struggle greatly because of the loss. Beautiful, beautiful!!!

This book wasn’t good. The characters kept losing their memories and it would restart the whole story over and then they would make the same dumb mistakes as before. And it moved soooo slow. Ending was confusing and I still can’t understand what happened. Maybe it’s for some people but not me lol.

I flew through Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher because the writing and storyline instantly pulled me in. The pacing in Part One was fast and had me hooked, even if the high school drama made me roll my eyes a bit. I don’t read much YA these days, so some of that “hs bs” wasn’t really my thing. What did work for me were the letters Silas writes to Charlie, which gave me that nostalgic flutter of young love.

That said, a few things didn’t sit right. The subtle adult/teen relationship hints were icky, and while the intimacy was mild, it felt strange reading it as an adult. Part Two dragged for me, with not much happening. Part Three picked back up, but the rushed ending and flat explanation left me underwhelmed. At least the epilogue was fun and tied things up in a lighter way.

Overall, I’d call it a 3.5-star read. It had strong intrigue, addictive pacing at the start, and moments that pulled on my heart, but the uneven middle and unsatisfying resolution held it back a bit for me.
