Synopsis: Goodreads 

Review: 

I’m not usually a fan of contemporary.. I just always find it to be lacking. To me, I need the build up, the rush. I need my heart to beat until I feel like it’s going to stammer out of my chest. I want the chocking feeling in the back of my throat where I cry and sob. And pretty much everything I want contemporary books can never fulfill. February has been such a disappointing reading month for me. My two go-to-authors have disappointed me. When I started this book I was skeptical.. It’s contemporary, and you already know how I feel about that, I am already having a bad reading month, and I’ve read so many iffy reviews I didn’t wanna waste anymore time with mediocre books. 

Jenny Han proved me wrong. I have found a new found love and respect for the easy light, fluffy contemporary books. From now on, I will look at them so different and will never hesitate to dive into the the unknown. I’m so happy I went through with reading it. 

I can understand the controversy about Lara Jean. Personally, I loved her character. She’s complex and different. She acted exactly her age, and she was hilarious. I loved feeling the butterflies in my stomach, giggling and blushing. It was such a good feeling. 

Over all, I really really love the book. I love the plot. I love the ending. I love the characters. I love Peter. The drama and angst, it was all the perfect amount. Very balanced. I highly recommend every one check this out. It’s written beautifully. It read off like lyrics on a page, smooth. I can’t wait for the second one. I hope it’s just as good as the first.

Review: 

WoOoooOoooah!! My mind is still reeling from what I've read. I'll repeat what I said above: I highly suggest you don't read the synopsis. Keep your knowledge of this book to a minimum. It's so great to go into this blind, and I believe the book overall with have a better impact! I've never read anything by Tarryn Fisher. I own her Best Selling book Mud Veins which I now plan to pick up soon. Colleen Hoover, if you've been following me long, you know I've read pretty much all her books, and love them! 

I am so impressed with Never Never. I was thrown into this world that was confusing and all consuming. So many things happening at once. The writing is exquisite. Tarryn Fisher is writing the girl's point of view (Charlie) and Colleen Hoover is writing the guy's (Silas). Both characters are so wildly different. (I can't explain, the less I say the better. For you at least.) I will say: I love Silas. I wish I had someone like him while I was in high school. He's so supportive, charming, and sweet. 

"I want to remember what it feels like to love someone like that. And not just anyone. I want to know what it feels like to love charlie."

Over all, this is a wonderful read! It's so entertaining and mind bending. You're hooked from the first page and I promise you won't put this book down. I can't wait until the second book. Never Never ended with my jaw dragging on the ground. It's the perfect mystery-thriller with a smidgen of romance. A perfectly balance book. I highly recommend this! I wish you all the best and hope you love it just as much as I do! Happy reading loves. xx 

It took me about two weeks to read this. To me, that’s a mighty long time. Especially when it is a book by your favorite Author and one you were very excited to read. When I heard Jennifer Armentrout was coming out with a New Adult Paranormal, I flipped. I was so excited, I love her New Adult book: Wait for you and her Paranormal: Lux Series. I immediately thought Wait for you + Lux Series = Best book of the freaking century.  It’s partly my fault why I didn’t love it.  Before even reading the book I gave it took much praise in my head, I’ve hyped it up too much. As I was reading, my expectations weren’t being met, thus leading to my disappointment. 

This story line its self wasn’t disappointing. It’s interesting, and bad ass actually. The characters are awesome. I love Ivy and completely feel for her, the pain she’s endured. She’s such a fearless character, which in paranormal is dangerous. When you’re fearless, you’re reckless, and that she was. I loved Ren and his emerald green guys, his way with words, and just how honest he was. He was  domineering but not in a suffocating, scary way. He’s funny, witty, and has everything a male Jennifer Armentrout hottie would have. 

What I found to be disappointing was my lack of connection to Ivy, and uncertainty of their love. The writing, didn't convince me, so I didn’t love it or feel anything. When something that was suppose to be painful and heart wrenching happened it was like wind blowing by. Also, I felt like a lot of the “little” clues were too much. By the end of the book when it all unraveled I knew what the big secret was, and the plot twist before it was even told. Don’t let my review steer you away from the book. It was so very enjoyable, entertaining and cute. I highly suggest you go read the book and make your own judgement. Can’t wait for book two!
