Ridiculous, self-indulgent tripe playing on deliberately sexualised nonsense. Never Never has of the weakest narratives I have ever read - all telling and no showing. I should've stopped reading at the silly fainting scene in first few chapters. Thank goodness it is barely 150 pages - I won't be reading the click-bait "sequel".

I demand a sequel right now!! Seriously, one shouldn't end a book like that especially when the fun and mystery started to unravel!

There was a girl , who found a book that looked intriguing. She had a lot to study for her upcoming exams but could not resist the urge to read that book. So she started reading a page that became a chapter, the chapter became 100 pages .... and before she coukd realize whatbshe was doing, she ended up reading the whole book. She found it as one of the most intriguing and the sweetest books she's read in a while. This my friends, is not the synopsis of the story , but my experience of reading this book.


So the story starts with a girl , waking up in a class. And she can't really remember who she is or where she is. I don't want to tell more about the plot. I don't want to spoil you. So go read this gem !


It's been a while since I read a good book. I was stuck in a kind of a book hungover and Never Never turned out to be my saviour. Charlie and Silas are now my OTP and I can't stop but day dream about this book. I think , this book is worth turning into a movie.

I loved reading Charlie and Silas' story. I loved that each part started with them having no memory. I also loved the growth we see in them, they managed to learn from mistakes they did not remember making in order to better themselves. I loved the twists and turns all three parts had and how everything came together at the end. I did not, however, love how everything was resolved. The reasoning behind why they had lost their memory was not solid enough for me. It was a concept mentioned only briefly and only in Part Three. Perhaps I was expecting far too much and so I felt underwhelmed when it all came to a close. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this thoroughly and I would definitely recommend reading it.

Never Never was extremely interesting and intriguing. The only reason I even thought to pick it up is because Colleen Hoover is one of the authors and I am a big fan of hers. I surprisingly enjoyed the first part to the story and am eager to find out what happens next in the second part. Basically, the book is one big mystery. Silas and Charlie have both woken up in the middle of fourth period with no memories. The whole book revolves around them trying to figure out about who they are and what happened to them. “Her eyes are like two open books and I suddenly want to devour every page." - Silas For me, Silas stole the book. One of my favorite things about books is finding characters that have the best one-liners and Silas was magnificent at it. He was the perfect teenage boy. I could picture these scenes in my head and just see him standing there dumbfounded and confused or getting lost staring at Charlie. I literally fell in love with his reactions to what he found out and how he described his thoughts about Charlie in his head. He could also be so awkward which I adore. “I’m Tetris Silas. All my pieces and parts are going to fit into all of your pieces and parts.” - Silas I also really liked Silas and Charlie's relationship. They stuck together even as they found out awful things about each other. They knew they were supposed to be some kind of dysfunctional item, but they didn't have memories of being together, but they didn't just leave each other in the dust. Silas pursued Charlie and Charlie tried to force herself not to like Silas. It really was a cute predicament. “You think you can make me like you again?” - Charlie “No. I’m gonna make you fall in love with me again.” - Silas A round of applause should go to whichever author came up with the idea for the ending. It was a cliff-hanger that kind of blew my mind. I wasn't ready for it and I am still a bit shocked. It was so unexpected and now my mind is reeling about what this could mean and about what part 2 is going to unveil. “She's familiar. My only familiar thing in a world of inconsistency and confusion.” - Silas

Never, Never have I been so ready to finish a book. In all seriousness, I love Colleen Hoover but this one was a struggle. It was like ground hog day meets 50 first dates. The concept behind the book was great but dragging it out into three books only benefits the authors. Charlie and Silas are high school “soul” mates until a family scandal causes the families to hate each other thus ending their relationship and tempting fate. They both “wake up” and have no idea who they are or the world around them. They only have 48 hours to figure it out before they loose their memory again. On this journey, they uncover more family secrets, the truth about themselves and their relationships. **I will say that the second book in this series went by quicker.

I gave this book a lower rating solely based on the lack in completing ties at the end. The book had a great plot and I was able to finish within a few days because I just couldn’t put it down. But, when it came time to wrapping up and providing answers, I feel like there was a lot left unsaid and the ending was abrupt. I want to know more about the mysteries in the book. It was all just thrown together and masked by romance. The epilogue left me confused and I had to reread it 4 times before gaining some sort of understanding and yet, I am still confused.

As far as recommending this book to read, I would recommend if you are looking for a romance and don’t mind having unanswered questions. Like I said, it was an easy read because of the plot!

That was, well, I don't know. This got me speechless only because it was an utter BLAH. I got through the three books in a few days because of the air of mystery brought about by the two protagonists forgetting about who they are and what happened and why it's happening. But when I got to the end and finally found out what happened, I was just like "wtf that's it???? I could have written a better plot twist than that -- and I'm no writer". It was disappointing, to say the least. Note: The rating and the I review that I gave this third part is for the entire series.

"Trust your gut. Not your heart, because it’s a people pleaser, and not your brain, because it relies too heavily on logic." Tarryn Fisher and Colleen Hoover took the easy way out of this story and I have to say, I'm a little disappointed. I wish they would've gone for the more complicated, more difficult road. Everything just went a little bit downhill in this book. Everything was in a straight pace and the thrill was no longer there, unlike with the first and second parts. I think they just focused on the romance here. The chemistry between Charlie and Silas still gets me. I love how they always don't fail to swoon me with their actions, their dialogues, or their letters to each other. Regardless of what I previously said, I still like how simple the explanation is because it teaches us a lesson. Sometimes we just have to look at ourselves and accept the blame for our mistakes before we go and blame others for it. But I honestly would've preferred the tarot card twist. Oh well, we can't have everything in this world. The important thing is I did enjoy this book and it was a good read. "We want to find someone who believes in us. Who will take our side and make us feel less lonely."

Finished! Phew. Never Never had me confused and frustrated from the start. The whole time it had my brain trying to figure out what the heck was going on. In Part Two we finally find out a bit what happened, and in Part Three everything gets resolved pretty much, just not in the way I was hoping for. I absolutely adored the setting and the idea of the story. It was absolutely phenomenal, but I really feel the characters deserved a much more thrilling ending, it was a bit anti-climatic. The magical realism was enjoyable and add the extra oomph the story needed. Now a little side rant: I really dislike the main girl, Charlie. She is probably one of my least favorite characters. I know we aren't going to like every character we read, but she was one of the main characters! I was really rooting for her, and she just disappointed me a bit. Silas on the other hand... I adored and appreciated his character development. He had motivation, he had growth, even when he didn't remember anything he was still smart, while Charlie for me was just, well there. That plot twist though. I did not see it coming and I'm trying to figure out if Tarryn or Colleen wrote it. Over all I want to give it a four, but I was not too satisfied with the ending, but it did keep me very engaged. I just wanted to know what the heck was going to happen!

This review was originally posted on Latte Nights ReviewsI had forgotten this book was coming it out on January 19. Totally spaced! When I saw someone had posted a picture of it on Instagram, I immediately bought it, dived in and finished it quickly. I was mildly disappointed. It was way too much of a fast read and that took away some enjoyment. Not only that, I felt like the authors threw everything on this last part and didn't completely explored more of the story and where it could go. I was left expecting more. The story itself didn't wow me. However, I did like the concept of why they had lost their memories—a bit cliche and something that's been done before but it was good, nonetheless. I got more Silas feels in this book. He could be book boyfriend material. Charlie was okay. I still don't really like her much but Silas makes up for it :D In all seriousness, though, I just can't really connect with Charlie. We do see a change in her character by the end of it and I was glad but that's about it. The epilogue was interesting. I loved the flash-forward into the future and seeing how everything turned out. I would say it left me hanging and I wish some characters had made an appearance because they were given more light in this third part. Then the ending was kind of an eye-roller for me. Okay, I had to read it a bunch of times to understand, but when I understood, I rolled my eyes. It was just so... Obvious, I would say. I hadn't thought about it happening but once I read it, I wasn't surprised in the slightest. Overall, it was a fast and easy read but nothing surprising. I wish I had enjoyed it more.This review was originally posted on Latte Nights Reviews

I know it's a romance but everyone says Colleen Hoover is amazing and I'm not seeing it. The premise of waking up (view spoiler)[a new person every 48 hours sounds like it could have been made creepy but it wasn't, unfortunately. Because. Romance. (hide spoiler)]

I liked it, it was a fast read and it keep me interested during the whole book. i haven't quite connected with the characters just yet, so that's why I didn't give it 5 stars. I'm looking forward reading the next part though, that ending definitely left me wanting more.

I don't care if the ending was cliche. I thought this story was really cute and I wanted more of it. That epilogue was just perfect. I wish that would really happen to people who stop being grateful for what they have in life.

** spoiler alert ** Sorry? What the hell was that? It started out really terrific: Why don't they have any more memories? BOTH? I was hoping for a huge scandal. Thought there was someone behind it who - oh no sorry, it was the universe?! What the hell? The book itself was really good for a long part, but the ending was the biggest crap I've ever been presented with.

Trust your gut. Not your heart, because it’s a people pleaser, and not your brain, because it relies too heavily on logic.
