I had been recommended Colleen Hoover books time and time again but, as romance as a main theme is something that doesn't automatically appeal to me, especially in a contemporary setting, I had held off. I decided that this was the month I was going to join the bandwagon of ardent Hoover supporters and, for better or for worse, see what all the fuss was about. Based on what I knew of the author, and of Taryn Fisher's writing, I made some predictions about this book, which were proven unequivocally incorrect, and and some preliminary expectations, which were well and truly surpassed. I just did not expect to love this book as much as I did! 
 Never Never is the story of high school sweethearts, Charlie and Silas, who forget they were ever sweethearts. In fact, they forget who they are entirely. And it is at this exact point that the story begins. The reader is given no backstory or preceding introduction into who the characters are or what is occurring: we go into this just as blind as Charlie and Silas. I found this frustrating, but frustrating in the good way, and my mind was running rife with theories as to how exactly this could have occurred. All of which were proven wrong. This book gives you one answer to every one hundred questions that arise and I spent the entirety of reading it foiled and perplexed. 
 The Gothic tenebrosity of the cover should have alerted me to the fact that this wasn't going to be a typical 'boy meets girl', but nothing could have prepared for the feeling of total helplessness and confoundment I found myself in. Yet, whilst giving the reader nothing, Hoover and Fisher still manages to create a world, characters and a plot that felt whole and real. And in a surprisingly few number of pages as well. The biggest frustration of all was the quick-paced plot and action-packed climax leading us to an ending comprising of three word: 'to be continued'.
