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.

This book hooked me from the first page and kept me wanting to know more right up until the last word. This book provides plenty of mystery for every sleuth, plenty of romance for the hopeless romantics, and lots of edge and wit.
As the chapters alternate between Charlie's and Silas's point of views, the reader is poised with the task of piecing together what happened as both characters start from nothing. As the reader rushes through each page, gulping down each inch of information the characters are able to obtain, it ends abruptly in a thrill of emotions as the puzzle starts to be come clear, just to end on a cliffhanger.
All I can say is that this quick read is addictive and ended far too soon. All I can do is wait until book 2 comes out and probably devour that one in a day as well.
Enjoy :)

i think it had a very good plot line, and maybe the lack of personality was justified, but the amount of subplots that just got thrown out somewhere was...a lot to handle

This book was like reading a modern fairytale. There were times when i couldn’t put it down but the ending was kind of boring. It was a sweet, romantic book, but it could have had a better ending.
