Never Never by Brianna R. Shrum
September 22nd 2015 by Spencer Hill Press

 

James Hook is a child who only wants to grow up.

When he meets Peter Pan, a boy who loves to pretend and is intent on never becoming a man, James decides he could try being a child—at least briefly. James joins Peter Pan on a holiday to Neverland, a place of adventure created by children’s dreams, but Neverland is not for the faint of heart. Soon James finds himself longing for home, determined that he is destined to be a man. But Peter refuses to take him back, leaving James trapped in a world just beyond the one he loves. A world where children are to never grow up.

But grow up he does.

And thus begins the epic adventure of a Lost Boy and a Pirate.

This story isn’t about Peter Pan; it’s about the boy whose life he stole. It’s about a man in a world that hates men. It’s about the feared Captain James Hook and his passionate quest to kill the Pan, an impossible feat in a magical land where everyone loves Peter Pan.

Except one.

       

I'm totally obsessed with anything about Peter Pan, Captain Hook and Neverland. So yeah... I just GOTTA read this. It sounds like a really great read!

Best friends since they could walk. In love since the age of fourteen.
Complete strangers since this morning.
He'll do anything to remember. She'll do anything to forget.

Never Never is my first book by Colleen Hoover as well as Tarryn Fisher and it was not a bad read for a 140 page book but it wasn't the best either. 

I guess I'm feeling a little underwhelmed by the overall story. Sure, I love a good mystery but it wasn't all that exciting. I did like the writing, it was pretty good and I love dual points of view. 

Starting this book I had no clue what was going on. I had a lot of questions along with the main characters, Charlie and Silas. I also liked the chemistry between the two, though there wasn't a whole lot of romance yet. And I do love me a good mystery so I thought bring it on! 

I enjoyed the story but not a whole lot happened so it's hard for me to say if I love it yet.  I just really wanted some real answers as to what in the world is going on with Charlie and Silas that causes them to lose their memories like that. And then there was that cliffhanger. Hmm... I guess only time and the next book will tell.

Overall, Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher had a pretty intriguing storyline but in the end not enough happened. It was also a very short book that I finished very quickly. Not that there's anything wrong with that but I just needed more, you know? Bring on the next part, please!

About Colleen Hoover

Website | Facebook | Twitter | Goodreads

Colleen Hoover's love for writing began in 1985 when she was five years old. Her first story was titled "Mystery Bob" and was a huge hit with her mother, who was really good at faking interest. Colleen continued to write short stories for friends and family until December of 2011, when she decided to write a long story she titled, "Slammed." She self-published SLAMMED to Amazon in January, 2012 and it hit the NYT's bestsellers list in May, 2012. She has since signed with Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, and now has six NYT's bestsellers. Colleen prefers to be called a writer, as the term "author" still terrifies her and makes this feel like a job with expectations. She doesn't work well under pressure and hopes writing will always remain fun and exciting. Colleen's newest novel, UGLY LOVE, releases August 5th, 2014. She is currently working on a new novel, CONFESS, which she is writing as fast as she can before she wakes up from this crazy dream.
