Never Never: Part One

I decided to wait till part two had been published to read part one. I am very glad I did but never realised there would be a third book to the series.This book keeps you hooked from the beginning. If you don't like cliff hangovers please don't let that stop you reading this book. Just wait till the whole series is finished.I couldn't tell one authors writing from the other, even though I did try. I am an avid Colleen Hoover reader but I have never read any Tarryn Fisher books (this could change in the future). There writing blended wonderfully to create a magically powering story.Charlie and Silas lose their memory, or part of it. I thought it was some sort of do over day yet when you get to the end of the book you realise it might not just be a do over day. It is a difficult book to categorize. It is definitely a romance, with a supernatural or whatever else it is twist. There could even be a bit of a thriller depending where the plot will continue to go in the other books to follow. There is so many questions going through my mind. It is honestly just such a mind blowing book I started to lose my own mind. I definitely can't wait to read the second installment which I have purchased.PLEASE DO READ!

I had been recommended Colleen Hoover books time and time again but, as romance as a main theme is something that doesn't automatically appeal to me, especially in a contemporary setting, I had held off. I decided that this was the month I was going to join the bandwagon of ardent Hoover supporters and, for better or for worse, see what all the fuss was about. Based on what I knew of the author, and of Taryn Fisher's writing, I made some predictions about this book, which were proven unequivocally incorrect, and and some preliminary expectations, which were well and truly surpassed. I just did not expect to love this book as much as I did!Never Never is the story of high school sweethearts, Charlie and Silas, who forget they were ever sweethearts. In fact, they forget who they are entirely. And it is at this exact point that the story begins. The reader is given no backstory or preceding introduction into who the characters are or what is occurring: we go into this just as blind as Charlie and Silas. I found this frustrating, but frustrating in the good way, and my mind was running rife with theories as to how exactly this could have occurred. All of which were proven wrong. This book gives you one answer to every one hundred questions that arise and I spent the entirety of reading it foiled and perplexed.The Gothic tenebrosity of the cover should have alerted me to the fact that this wasn't going to be a typical 'boy meets girl', but nothing could have prepared for the feeling of total helplessness and confoundment I found myself in. Yet, whilst giving the reader nothing, Hoover and Fisher still manages to create a world, characters and a plot that felt whole and real. And in a surprisingly few number of pages as well. The biggest frustration of all was the quick-paced plot and action-packed climax leading us to an ending comprising of three word: 'to be continued'.

Blurb: Best friends since they could walk. In love since they were fourteen. Complete strangers since this morning. He'll do anything to remember. She'll do anything to forget.IMG_2287 My Thoughts:The truth is, it's hard to write a review about a novella that is shrouded in so much mystery and intrigue. I don't want to give anything away that will ruin what Is a romantic, thrilling, fast paced and mysterious read. A story which will have you guessing what is going to happen from beginning to way past the end. Charlie and Silas are wonderful characters to discover, as we embark on learning who they are, who they were, what happened and what are the secrets they share.....I found myself consumed by Never Never and loving the writing partnership of Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher. With Hoovers books being a favourite of mine, it was her name that led me to this book but noe I will definitely be reading Fishers books. I can't recommend this enough, it is phenomenal and I need to read the second one desperately!“How odd to be made of flesh, balanced on bone, and filled with a soul you’ve never met.”

I bought this book as soon as it was available on Amazon, simply because it's by Colleen Hoover. I've always loved everything written by her, so I didn't hesitate to buy this book which is a collaboration with Tarryn Fisher. I've yet to read anything by Tarryn Fisher, but as she's an Author I've heard of, and a few of her books are on my to-read list, I didn't have any qualms about buying this book.This is the first time that I've found a Colleen Hoover book difficult to read and review, as it's the first time that I haven't really found myself falling in love with one of her stories. This could be because it's so different from her other books that I've read, or maybe it's the alternating points of view between the two characters, and between the two Authors. Whatever the reason for it, I just couldn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked.The ending of the book left a lot of be desired for me. Although I'm used to cliffhangers in books, I felt that the cliffhanger in this book was too big, to the point where nothing was explained and I was just left confused.That being said, I did enjoy the mystery surrounding Charlie and Silas, as neither of them have any memories of their lives, and the people in them. I thought it was interesting that although they could remember how to drive, and they could remember the names of celebrities, they couldn't remember anything about their personal lives and those closest to them.All in all, I was a bit disappointed with this book, but it's possible that my expectations were too high because of how much I love Colleen Hoover's other books. However I am interested in reading the second part of the story; perhaps it will shed some light on the mystery surrounding Charlie and Silas, and help to clear up my confusion.

A Amazing book...i could not leave it till d time it was finished wish i culd get d next copy free :)

Very interesting storyline, with characters that were believable. At times you loved them, or hated them, and that felt so right.Can't wait to read the next one and see what.happens to Charlie and Silas

I don't want to sound creepy but I don't want to spoil any of you so I try to be explanatiory vague with this review.Silas and Charlie both "wake" up at the same time with no recollection of their memories about the people in their life at all. They don't know anyone, not even each other. The whole book plays in about two days time while they are trying to figure it out what happened with them without any actual help. They don't dare to tell about themselves to anyone so they keep pretend. “You're a rich kid who's a dick to your housekeeper. I'm a mean teenager with absolutely no personality who takes selfies to make herself feel important.”Never Never is a total mindf*ck. You don't know what is happening, not even when it is happening. The whole book is actually one big mystery. I mean, think about it: you lose your memory of everyone you know, even yourself. You don't know who you are, you don't know who are your parents, family, friends, nobody, yet you have to act like you do, if you don't want them to think you went crazy or are insane. "None of this makes sense. How can we remember celebrities? People we've never met? How do I know that Kanye West married a Kardashian? How do I know that Robin Williams died?"Charlie and Silas have been lovers for four years. Now they don't even remember the other. They forgot all their happy moments, all the big events and heartbreaks. This could actually be a good restart for them, if only they weren't strangers. “…she’s the girl I supposedly make love to. The girl I’ve apparently made love to for a while. The girl I apparently still love. I just wish I could remember…”Never Never is told in both Charlie and Silas' point of view, so it's easier to get to know both of them and connect to them. Connecting with them is really easy, they are both very likable characters.Charlie is the storm that can only be tamed by Silas' calm.The romance between them is kind of underlying but you can still feel it in bits and pieces. They have to play lovers in front of their friends but you can't really fake emotions you are supposedly feeling without actually feeling them deep down. From the two of them, I think Silas is the one, who wants to remember how they were before losing their memories and Charlie is the one who wants to know more why and how it happened. “She loved you. I'm not even sure if I like you yet.I don't know myself very well, but I must have been extremely competitive. Because I just took that as a challenge.Took what as a challenge? You think you can make me like you again?No. I'm gonna make you fall in love with me again.”What I mostly miss in mystery books are the humour but here I had it, even if it was in small doses and mostly came from Silas, but it made me laugh here and there. The jokes were sometimes cheesy but they added to their personality perfectly. “You're talking about us like we're body invaders.You have no idea how many times a day I think about invading your body.”This book is a very captivating read that gripped me from the very first page. It kept me guessing all along and there are so many questions left unanswered that I've never read in a book before. The ending is a huge cliffhanger that will make you suffer for a long time after finishing it. “Charlie is a devastation left in the wake of a tornado.”Never Never is a fast paced, mysterious story, that will keep you looking for clues everywhere. The possibilities for the outcome are endless. You won't put this book down until you are finished with it, but it won't left you alone. If you like all the things above, then Never Never is the book for you. This was the first I've read from both Colleen and Tarryn but definitely not the last. They easily got on the list of authors I want to read everything from.

Love the book i was so in to the story that didnt realize i had finished until im read To Be Continued that had never never happened to me before also i have a confession to make this is my first Tarryn Fisher book and let me tell you It is not going to be the last thank you Colleen for introduing me to her writting

Eu sabia que isso iria acontecer! Eu não tenho o preparo mental necessário para ler séries inacabadas... Especialmente com cliffhangers... Especialmente quando o autor em questão é a Dona Tarryn Fisher!!! Mas o que eu posso dizer? Eu sou uma masoquista, e TF e CoHo são, definitivamente, minhas amas, então sim AMAS! Vou lê-lo... E eu vou enlouquecer completamente... E eu vou esperar... mas não de uma forma paciente e contida, devo dizer! Não, não!!! Isso é pedir demais!Então... Como começo isso?Quando ouvi pela primeira vez que Colleen Hoover estava escrevendo um livro conjunto com outro autor, meu primeiro pensamento foi: TARRYN FISHER! DROGA!!!! Eu sabia, naquele momento, que eu estava lascada! Eu não tinha certeza de que era dela que a Colleen estava falando, mas eu tinha certeza de que era dela que a Colleen estava falando. Deu para entender?Enfim... Minha "certeza" foi confirmada e eu imediatamente senti um arrepio correr pelo meu corpo. Isso iria ser impressionantemente aterrorizante e monstruosamente torturante!Tinha uma pequena ideia do que esperar desta coautoria ColleenHoover-TarrynFisher, mas MEU DEUS! Eu não pensei que iria gostar TANTO assim!E se você me acusar de ser uma leitora imparcial por ser inegavelmente apaixonada pelas duas autoras, eu terei que te contradizer, porque você não sabe do que está falando. Quem me conhece SABE que não tenho medo, nem meias palavras quando o assunto é minha opinião. Se amei, amei. Se não gostei, não gostei; Se odiei... Este livro é fantástico e amaria cada parte dele, mesmo se escrito por qualquer outra pessoa.Eu amei tudo neste livro! Amei o enredo, mesmo ainda estando longe de compreende-lo em sua totalidade. Amei a cidade que elas escolheram para ser o local onde toda a história se passa (eu sempre fui fascinada por essa cidade e tudo que a envolve e fiquei em êxtase quando descobri o que essa escolha poderia significar). Eu absolutamente AMEI Silas e Charlie. Colleen sabe exatamente como escrever um personagem masculino pelo qual eu sempre me apaixono rápida e profundamente (<3 Awn *suspiro* Daniel *suspiro* <3) e Tarryn sabe como escrever uma personagem feminina teimosa que nos faz torcer por ela mesmo assim (<3 *Vai* Senna *Vai* <3). Teimosa, turrona, mas nunca chata! Amei os diálogos cheios de ironia, sarcasmo e piadas trocados entre Silas e Charlie. Amei a dinâmica estre os dois. Novamente, Tarryn e Colleen sabem escrever diálogos divertidos que me fazem rir alto.O mistério... O romance... Tão brilhantemente executados... Tão fantasticamente desenvolvidos!Também amei ver tantas coisas escondidas sutilmente por trás dessas páginas, por trás dessas palavras, escritas nas entrelinhas. Fantástica a dinâmica entre as duas: TF e CoHo! Amei as piadas internas trocadas através de seus personagens. Adorei a leveza e diversão que isso trouxe ao livro. Adorei vê-las em seus personagens.E as teorias... Ai meu Deus, as teorias! Essa é sem dúvida a melhor parte de tudo isso... As infinitas teorias que levam os leitores a beiram da loucura! Mal posso esperar para desvendar tudo isso! E aquele final? Que fez meu coração acelerar tão rápido, que creio que ele não tenha retornado ao seu ritmo normal até agora?Além disso, Tarryn Fisher e Colleen Hoover podem tentar me enganar o quanto quiserem..."Pode haver um significado em tudo isso... Ou isso tudo pode significar absolutamente nada."Não tentem me enganar! Aposto na primeira opção! TUDO SIGNIFICA ALGUMA COISA AQUI!!!Finalmente um livro 5 estrelas este ano! F.I.N.A.L.M.E.N.T.E!!! Não tinha dúvida disso! Mas eu REALMENTE preciso do próximo livro... Pelo amor de Deus e pelo meu bem estar mental!!! AGORA! Por Favor!!!Eu provavelmente irei relê-lo nesse final de semana... muitos detalhes... muitas teorias! Que Deus guarde minha sanidade!
