Never Never: Part Three of Three

Okay, Tarryn and Colleen, I "get" it finally! After spending months trying to figure out what evil plots, gut-wrenching drama, and unexpected curveballs you twisted geniuses were going to throw at us readers, my heart, mind, and soul are soaring.After reading the first two parts of Never Never, I admit I drank the Kool-aid and hopped aboard the conspiracy train. My lurking skills were on overdrive as I tried to figure out what Colleen and Tarryn were going to do next. I HAD to be the first one to figure it out! I actually posted some of my thoughts *gasp* in hopes I'd get a critical element right and Tarryn and Colleen would finally know who I am and want me on their amazing team... In the midst of all this, I had this nagging thought in the back of my mind that kept growing and kept residence until I read Never Never Part 3 last night. In some responses to the crazy conspiracy comments that were coming to life in social media, the authors essentially said that sometimes we should accept things the way they are, that sometimes things don't have secret meanings or deep innuendos, that sometimes the answer is just staring at us, waiting for us to realize that some occurrences are just simply a part of life. In other words, take, enjoy, and love Silas and Charlie for who they are, not what you think they are becoming. I admit, once I started focusing on Silas and Charlie instead of symbolism and clues, I truly felt their story blossom.Never Never Part 3 allows readers to see who Charlie and Silas really are and why their love is so powerful and perfect for them. Charlie and Silas seem to take over this installment like never before. Part 3 took them to a different level as Colleen and Tarryn got down to the nitty gritty and revealed the depths of their connection.Yes, Never Never Part 3 answers many questions and brings Charlie and Silas' story closer to us. Yes, there are suspenseful twists and turns and "aha" moments. In true Tarryn and Colleen style, though, closure, excitement, drama, and answers aren't the only gifts these two masterful story tellers give us. They give us the chance to see what's been staring at us all along - not just in the book but in our own lives as well. Perhaps that is what I love most about these authors - how their influence goes beyond the written pages. Their messages, their words, are powerful and majestic in the real world as well if we take a few moments to slow down to think and feel. Colleen and Tarryn's messages don't end with their books - they carry out in all our lives one way or the other. Some of the "gifts" I take from the Never Never series are to be kind to each other, take leaps of faith, believe in love, always search for the truth, letting go of stubbornness will oftentimes allow you to let others in, and love is always worth the risk...Tarryn and Colleen built the Never Never series in such a way that they could have gone virtually any direction with Charlie and Silas' story. I can just imagine Colleen and Tarryn laughing their butts off when they read what the readers were thinking and guessing about their story! I love how they allowed their readers to keep their story alive through these theories. I also love and appreciate that Tarryn and Colleen stayed true and followed their own path in writing this series. They allowed Charlie and Silas' story to tell itself and to give us all hope that love is love and sometimes that's all we need.

The original review can also be found at: [...]What?! This was the most cutest frigging piece of original fluff I've ever read! Ugh! I can't! They should publish another book. One that contains all of the letters/diary entries/pictures used. Because man! Wouldn't that just be amazing! I'd leave it on my coffee table so I could read it every time I walked by... and I guess for guests too...It's so cute I wanna vomit. Yes. Just YES!Updated note: Okay I feel like I have to address the obvious which I hinted at before but should probably be stated firmly:This ENTIRE work.... is a piece of original fluff .A lot of people were disappointed in the ending. Honestly, I was also disappointed. As soon as the word (view spoiler) came into the picture I was like "oooooh....no. they didn't." And it's true. It's cheesy. A bit insulting. And completely falls flat of the humongous build-up. But that's only if you go into it blind like ...well everyone did. But! If you were to read this series knowing that it was fluff then I feel like you could really and truly enjoy it for it is.As it stands I can't blame the people who are pissed off, confused, and left wanting. But at the heart of my curiosity this whole year was this stupid cute relationship. So I have to say though the plot just FAILED miserably in this last installment, I was still a very content and happy camper! Hence my positive review :) Now if you're looking for a story with plot and intrigue with everything nicely tied together and packaged with bow--and also featuring a character that resembles Silas ;)--then I suggest the book Confess by Colleen Hoover. I loved it. If you're feeling sore about this book that one will make up for it.Think of this book as like....the written counterpart of the movie Next starring Nicholas Cage. Amazing concept, great movie...but that ending? I wanted to break my television and throw it out of the window. And yet every time it's on cable I watch it. Because it's good...until it's not. This is true with Never Never. But again...this is a piece of original fluff and should be read like one or you will be so very, VERY disappointed. You have been warned!Now. I'm going to go back and revel in the fluff that is the stupid cute letters of these two adorable characters.

Whilst enjoying this novella trilogy, I can't say I would exactly be in a rush to read it again. The first installment was so full of promise, the second felt completely flat, and this third one felt too pushed and pulled together at the end, to give some semblance of everything being neatly tied together. I don't know what ending I was expecting, but it wasn't that.Charlie and Silas are childhood sweethearts who both are suffering from a continual cycle of amnesia. Whilst attempting to piece their fragmented memories back together, they are also deciding who they were, who they are, and who they want to be in the future.The plot sounded so promising, but, for me, it failed a little in the delivery. The ending was sweet, I guess, but I wanted more answers, more fever and more torment! The three parts all meshed together to culminate in a moment that, whilst taking up just under half of the third novella, felt rushed and insincere.Maybe the fault lay in the reader and not the author: I am a self-processed loather of romance and here I am reading a book predominately based around adolescent love. What was I expecting? As I said, I'm not too sure, but it certainly wasn't this!

Actual Rating: 3.25 stars.The mystery is finally revealed and to be honest, it was a bit anti-climactic. Though I'm not unhappy with the reason why they both lost their memories (despite the fact that there is no rational explanation because it's supernatural but I've no issue with that, it was actually sweet) I'm still feeling unsatisfied. The ending was very rushed, and that epilogue was a bit meh. This part was definitely not up to the same standard as the first two parts, and I hate finishing something feeling let down. Not sure that I'd recommend this series now, which is a shame because the writing is good and the concept is decent. I think if the last part was further developed, and less rushed, and it was released as one book it would have far more appeal. But that's just my personal opinion.

I have mixed feelings about this book! Honestly the first abd second part to never never were simply AMAZING! they built suspension and intrigue and some of it was completely unpredictable, but with the third part I'm a little upset. It is still an average-ly good book however I just wished the reason that their memories were being forgotten to be for something orginal since everyones anticipating it throughout every page of every 'part', and the reason just didn't do it for you! I kind of feel like the last few chapters of this were rushed slightly. On the high note I think i'm still in love with silas and Charlie, they sure know how to make you laugh and even make you believe in true love :)

I don't think I've ever been as disappointed with a conclusion to a story as I was with this final book in the series. It was way overpriced for 90 pages but I wanted to know what happened to these two characters. I'm none the wiser after reading this. The ending was awful, so many loose ends. The epilogue was worse! It was almost another cliffhanger. No No No, so not the way to finish this trilogy.

Complete waste of money. I bought this book because obviously if it's by colleen hoover it's gonna be good right? Wrong !! The first book left me intrigued , the second book was boring and not much happened. I bought the the third book cause you have to find out what happens but I was really disappointed. Definitely not a book I would recommend. Come on colleen hoover and Tarryn Fisher you can do better than this!!!!
