Never Never: Part Two Paperback – May 17, 2015

Completely out of the blue, Silas Nash wakes up in his car, and find that all his memory has escaped him. he has no idea who he is or what he is doing. However, upon glancing into the car's glove department, he finds hastily handwritten notes explaining that he and a certain Charlie Wynwood are under some kind of spell, leading them to a total loss of memory every 48 hours, so the two of them captured all they could find in those notes.But the notes also say that Charlie went missing, and there is no telling where she could be. Charlie and Silas probably broke up because of a quarrel between their families, sending Charlie's father to jail. Yet Silas is determined to look for this person he doesn't know, but feels intrinsically connected to. And as the story unfolds, it turns out that there might be more to their family quarrel than the two of them thought."So what's the deal with us? Are we like... in love and s***?"I laugh out loud for the first time since yesterday morning. "Yeah," I say, still laughing. "Apparently I've been in love and s*** with you for eighteen years now."What I loved about this book:Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher write a book together. Pure awesomeness.Super suspenseful and unusual storylineInteresting charactersWhat I felt needed improvement:I needed to re-read Part One to really get back into the storyThe story is fairly shortHuge cliffhanger (release part for sequel unknown!)Yay! Never Never: Part Two finally released and it's a masterpiece born from the collaboration of two very talented authors: Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher. Please note that Never Never: Part Two is the sequel to Never Never , and you will need to have read Never Never prior to launching into its sequel.Oh and make sure you read it not too long ago, because I was completely lost when I picked up the sequel a few months after having read the first part. I had forgotten so many details (and it was a disturbing/confusing read as it is), that I had to actually re-read the last third of Part One to make sure I remembered what the deal was.It is very rare for me to give sequels a higher rating than original books, but in this case, the authors really nailed the sequel. Everything, from pace to storyline, was just perfect. Well, that is if you forget about the massive cliffhanger in the end of the book. If you were looking fr a lighthearted, sexy read - you won't find this here. But what you will likely find is angst ans suspense, and a whole lot of emotions.I absolutely loved how heartfelt the read was compared to Part 1: I loved how the characters had no idea who they were, but still felt a sense of belonging to each other even though life apparently (and from what they found out) brutally tore them apart."I've enclosed some pictures I want you to go through. Hopefully they'll remind you of what we could have again someday. A love that wasn't dictated by our parents or defined by our family status. A love we couldn't stop if we tried. A love that got us through some of the hardest moment of our lives."While in book 1, I really disliked Silas, and was completely on team Charlie's side, this book was completely different. Although the writing was alternating their points of view, Never Never: Part 2 was much more focused on Silas, and totally put him in a different light... and kind of cast a bad light on Charlie. That "other point of view" was highly interesting, and I really wonder what Part Three (the last installment in the series) will bring the couple."I would give anything to have that memory back - to see what it was like between us when we loved each other enough to believe it was forever."All in all, I'm definitely recommending this read and will be looking forward to Part Three.

Never Never 2 left me holding my breath up the end. We don't really know the why's yet but we might know the who's. It's a fast read but very engaging. Colleen and Tarryn have created a rather unique little series that captures your attention. What we know about Silas and Charlie before this, I don't think they would be very popular characters in a 'normal' plot setting. But who they are becoming as the mystifying story progresses, I can't help but feel something for them. Our past shouldn't define our future and I see this as their second chance to be who they were always meant to be.This.This must have been why I felt an unwavering need to find her. Because until this very second, I didn’t know Charlie wasn’t the only one missing. When she disappeared, part of me must have disappeared right along with her. Because this is the first time I feel like me—like Silas Nash—since the second I woke up yesterday.

Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher ended Never Never with a killer cliffhanger that left thousands of readers desperate for more of Charlie and Silas. If you are anything like me, you’ve probably been wondering, “Where is Charlie?” Never Never: Part 2 is very satisfying, and although it’s not the conclusion to the series, I’m delighted to share it completely surpassed my expectations!Once again, we find Colleen Hoover writing the chapters for Silas Nash. Sigh. Out of all of her male characters, Silas Nash is my favorite. I love his passion. His intensity and determination. His fierce love for Charlie. “Never forget that I was your first real kiss. Never forget that you’ll be my last. And never stop loving me between all of them. Never stop, Charlie. Never forget.” Silas is a young man who will not be deterred. He's smart. Determined to find Charlie. Determined to find out why he and Charlie continue to lose their memory.Tarryn Fisher continues to be the voice of Charlie Wynwood. Even with no memories, Charlie is a very perceptive young lady. She’s a strong protagonist who – underneath all of her bravado – can also be a little vulnerable. Readers, like myself, who are somewhat familiar with Tarryn Fisher? I think we all see a little bit of Tarryn in Charlie. Just like Silas, we were all left scratching our head, wondering what could have happened to Charlie at the end of Never Never. Since we begin Part 2 with a reset, Charlie has no real answers. It was a brilliant way to keep the mystery of “Where is Charlie?” alive.Plain and simple – I absolutely loved Never Never: Part 2. This story is everything I had hoped for. Everything I had been anticipating. More often than not, the second novel of a trilogy is the weakest installment. Not with Never Never: Part 2. It’s honestly one of the best middle books that I have ever read. It appears to be well thought out. It’s full of classic writing from Hoover and Fisher. Really – anytime you read a story written by either of these authors, you can expect the writing to be exemplary, but it’s also seamless. The story is narrated by Silas and Charlie, the authors choosing to alternate points of view by chapter. The difference in writing styles feels completely natural because each protagonist has a unique personality.My emotions were all over the place while I was reading Never Never: Part 2. It was thrilling. I was anxious and confused. It even had me in tears. From beginning to end, the story is creative and dramatic. Mysterious. Intriguing. Romantic. Part 1 of Never Never left my mind in a whirlwind – I had questions on top of questions after I finished reading. Have you ever been subjected to information overload? We are given a boatload of information in Never Never: Part 2. Theories are laid to rest. Questions are answered. Never Never: Part 2 has a satisfying conclusion that left my mind at ease, and I am nothing but hopeful for Silas and Charlie in the final book of the trilogy.Lots of novels receive a 5-star rating. When I review a novel, I sometimes do something a little more. If a 5-star novel deserves more than that rating, if I feel it has something extra-special, I give it a bonus star. Never Never: Part 2 falls directly into this category. 6 stars for Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher!
