Never Never: Part Two

Okay, so yes this part 2. Part 3 and the ending is still to come. BUT, I actually feel far more enlightened after Part 2, much more so than after Part 1.So, Part 1 of Never, Never left us with a huge cliffhanger of doom, and emptiness. (Yep I'm going with melodrama) It actually left me with a crazy book hangover for a couple of weeks. I was sat trying to get my head around, all the facts we had been given, and those still missing.So by the time Never, Never Part 2 came along. I was more than ready for some answers.Charlie and Silas, friends since well, forever. Dating since 14. Crazy in love for years. Wake up one day when 18, and have zero clue who the other one is. Oh and no clue who they are either. So, basically no knowledge of well anything.So, in the first part of the trilogy, we see the next 48 hours, alternating between the 2 characters, and trying to work out what the hell has happened. And why they can't remember themselves, or anyone else.They have clues scattered far and wide. It's like a massive 1000 piece puzzle, that someone has thrown up in the air, and let the pieces scatter everywhere, far and wide, and now they have to find them all, and piece back together.At the end of Part 2, Charlie is missing. Having walked off by herself, after a fight with Silas. But she has no purse, and no phone.Silas, finds a letter written to Charlie, that Charlie and Silas had written the week before, to themselves, explaining what they had found out so far. Turns out, it has already happened twice before, and if the pattern is consistent. It will happen again, every 48 hours. Which by the time Silas has finished reading, is in the next few minutes.So we were left with, a chunk of knowledge, but not quite enough yet, and Charlie is missing, and they are about to lose their memories again. Not in love. Not at all. Never Never.So on to Part 2.Obviously Silas wakes up in the car, where he was left in Part 1. Letters strewn around him. And again, zero knowledge of who he is, where he is, or any other information.Plus, Charlie is still missing. I'm worried about her. I need to find her.Silas catches up, by reading the letter, and notes made. He's still completely thrown, and has no idea what to think. But he is probably in a better place than Charlie. Who will wake up, god knows where, with no memory. He knows he has to find her fast. He only has 48 hours, before it happens again. I'm obviously in love with her. Or at least I was in love with her. What happened to us? What happened to her?So that really is all I'm going to say about the content, as this series is pretty much, the most compelling thing, I have read this year. It really is like a mystery, that is being put together, with tiny little details at a time.This time we get to see snippets of Silas and Charlies past, through letters written to each other, or journal entries. That Silas found. Which I have to say were incredibly sweet. They had something so special, that I'm dying for them to get their full memory back, and find out what went wrong.I also learned in this part, every little detail means something. Even the small stuff, take it all in and file it in a little memory box, it will be needed. "So what's the deal with us?" she asks. "Are we like....in love and s***? I laugh out loud for the first time since yesterday morning. "Yeah," I say, still laughing. "Aparently I've been in love and s*** with you for eighteen years now."Now, when I read Part 1, I literally had zero clue what was going on. I absolutely loved it, of course the writing was compelling, it had to be with two incredible authors, and that made the story even more gripping.But, I had no theories. I could make some guesses, but I knew they were completely wrong. It had been so cleverly written, that I just didn't know where to start, to try and break it down, and work out what was going on. All I knew, was the main facts we were given.So, upon reading Part 2, I actually felt like I could start making theories and guesses. We had been given a different set of clues this time, and put them together with the clues from Part 1, and things started to make far more sense.I'm obviously not going to give my theories in this review, as that would be a whopping big spoiler, but I've tucked them away, until the release of Part 3, and I'm wondering how close I will be, to the truth.Again, I have to mention, this series has blown me away, right from the start. Every single page gripped me. But even with a killer storyline, and a genius concept. It wouldn't be quite so incredible without the amazing authors to write it. Both Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher have stand out, gripping writing styles. They are both known for it, and they are obviously, completely different. So for both of them to come together and blend so perfectly and seamlessly, was pretty epic! They both bring all the tricks they have, and make it work amazingly well together.It's actually going to be quite hard, as well as amazing, of course, to read the final part in the Never, Never series. As much as I want to know what happened, more than anything, once it's all done, it's over. And I have loved the Never, Never mystery. I don't want it to end!Again, I can't recommend this book, (and series) enough. Don't whatever you do, read it without reading Never, Never Part 1 first. Or your head will explode, simple!But if you love a good mystery, and guessing game, with genius writing, and know that underneath it all, is an epic romance, then get this now! :) Never forget that I was your first real kiss. Never forget you'll be my last. And never stop loving me between all of them. Never stop, Charlie. Never forget. ~ Silas5 Stars.

Never Never Part Two is the second part of this gripping series that tells the story of Silas and Charlie, two high school seniors who suddenly have no memory of who they are or what their lives are like. Gradually, they try to piece together the missing memories, but they end up uncovering a whole bunch of stuff they weren’t expecting.I was really looking forward to reading this instalment after the cliffhanger at the end of part one and while I definitely enjoyed it, the pace did seem to slow down a bit. It was still interesting and totally readable,There’s a whole bunch more investigation in this book, mostly led by Silas, and because of the whole memory-loss thing, it takes him quite a while to find anything out! Charlie manages to get herself into a right old predicament that opens up a whole new can of worms and makes me wonder where on earth the authors will be going with this new plot strand.Charlie isn’t in this novella so much and the story is mostly told from Silas’s POV. That’s fine, but I really enjoyed Charlie’s POV from the previous book. I admire an author (or authors) who has the guts to write a protagonist who actually isn’t a very nice person and yet still manages to make you care about them. The lack of Charlie wasn’t really a dealbreaker, but I’m hoping she’s going to be in the final instalment a lot more.So, while this was a good instalment and I was glad I read it, it didn’t have quite the gut-punching impact of the first book. I’m still going to read the final part, though, because I’m dying to find out what the big reveal is!

I went into this with my eyes open. I re read part 1. I made copious notes. The coke/diet. The pictures. The tarot cards. Football. The shrimp. Grilled cheese.Part 2 - pen in hand note book at the ready. Looking, hunting for clues.Finished. No clue. I went to bed, didn't sleep a wink all kinds of things going through my head. I keep coming back to the same conclusion that one or both are dead. The scent of the lilies?Initially I ruled it out Colleen wouldn't do that; she knows we can take angst followed by a HEA, but Tarryn is evil. Marrow confirmed it - sweet, lovely Judah!!! They could be dead? Or one is in a coma? I'm not going with the voodoo curse thing.I got up. Did the school run - read it again. So many questions. Why did they.... Why did they....Why did S take...How does she....Who is...The writing is as always with both authors faultless. The plot is intriguing to the point of wanting to stab someone. If you don't like a cliff hanger and you like to wait for a complete series, wait! If not read on and get your mind screwed over.Discussion group needed.My clues/bits and pieces:"What if we're Angels and we're supposed to help someone, and we were given these bodies to fulfil our mission.""I'd rather love you at the bottom than despise you at the top.""What I can tell...the only thing I will tell you...is that you need to remember what it is that someone so desperately wanted you to forget.""Silas, the answers to your questions lie with someone who is very close to you.""If it takes believing in dragons to find Charlie, then I'll be the first to wield a sword in the face of its fire.""If it were possible to hear a smile, hers would be a love song.""Figure out what you did with the Charlie I fell in love with. And when you find her, I'll be here. I told you before I'll never stop loving you. I'll never forget what we have.""Never lose hope. Never stop loving me. Never forget. Never Never."Oh my days. Hurry and write part 3. I need answers.

Me gustó más la primera parte, pero está muy bien. Este tipo de libros son muy fáciles de leer y los recomiendo para aquellos que quieran empezar a leer en inglés porque los capítulos son cortos y el vocabulario sencillo. Son asequibles para un nivel B1 y B2 de inglés.

Un libro muy recomendable para leer. Me lo entregaron en perfecto estado y antes de lo esperado. Lo recomiendo mucho.

No final de Never Never: Parte 1, além de todas as perguntas sem respostas, somos deixados com mais uma pergunta que nos atormentou durante todo o tempo de espera até o lançamento de Never Never: Parte 2.Em Never Never: Parte 2, várias dessas perguntas são respondidas, incluindo a resposta para o cliffhanger existente no final do livro 1. Entretanto, muitas outras ainda pairam... Sem sinal de qualquer resposta. Todavia, isso não me surpreendeu de maneira alguma. Não me surpreendeu e muito menos me decepcionou. Isso era completamente esperado. Afinal, como diz o mestre, Stephen King, livros bons não entregam todos os seus segredos de uma só vez!E assim acontece na narrativa dessa história. Alguns segredos desvendados, outras pistas lançadas, novas dúvidas surgidas ao longo do caminho, mas inegavelmente o talento de Colleen Hoover e Tarryn Fisher estão sempre presentes, através de uma coerência meticulosa (reli o livro 1 logo antes de começar o livro 2, e posso afirmar que não há nenhuma peça fora ou esquecida do quebra-cabeça), de uma criatividade estupenda e de uma escrita brilhante.Podemos ver nitidamente o toque especial de Colleen Hoover ao optar por narrar alguns dos pontos mais importantes do livro através de cartas, escolhendo um caminho diferente do padrão usado pela maioria dos autores.Podemos notar o toque pessoal de Tarryn Fisher ao utilizar os jogos mentais tão presentes em suas narrativas, também fugindo do padrão utilizado pela maioria dos autores.Em uma narrativa simples e extremamente cativante, sem dúvida alguma Never Never: Parte 2 merece 5 estrelas, por ter mantido a coerência, por não ter permitido que o ritmo da narrativa diminuísse e por ter me feito desejar ardentemente sua continuação!Trabalho fantástico, Colleen e Tarryn! Espero ansiosamente o final dessa história tão cativante e eletrizante, e de muitos trabalhos conjuntos pela frente!Obs.: Esses livros tratam-se de NOVELAS, ou seja, livros bem mais curtos que o padrão normal. Isso foi explicado anteriormente, mas por via das dúvidas, não custa esclarecer novamente. Por questões contratuais, a autora Colleen Hoover não pode publicar livros com um número de páginas acima de "X" fora de seu contrato. Assim, para dar continuidade ao projeto, as autoras tiveram que optar em dividir a história em três livros menores (esse número de livros pode aumentar!!!). Há cliffhanger no final dos dois livros. Isso também já foi avisado anteriormente!!! Então, se você acha que não conseguirá lidar com os finais inacabados dos livros, aconselho que espere o lançamento de toda a série. NINGUÉM ESTÁ FORÇANDO NINGUÉM A COMPRAR E LER OS LIVROS, ok? Mesmo não gostando de cliffhangers, eu decidi ler os livros e não me arrependo, mas a escolha é sua!!!! Caso você opte por ler, divirta-se e APROVEITE A JORNADA! As vezes não se trata do final, mas do caminho até lá... E afirmo que nesse caso ele pode ser bem divertido!!!!

I just finished... I'm just so excited! I loved it! So much suspense and GAH! I read this in one sitting. As the minutes ticked away in the story my anxiety rose! Brilliant cliffhanger!I loved Silas and damn I waited so long to find out where Charlie had gone and whoa... NO SPOILERS!This series is such a fun mysterious ride.

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!
