Initial Impressions 10/2/15: This book was a psychological thriller with a twist and... sadly, I knew what the twist was after the first chapter. It was one of those -- like We Were Liars -- that I hoped I hadn't guessed right but alas. It was true. Unfortunately when you guess the twist of a book, it makes the rest of it much less interesting. I was picking apart all of the dialogue and action according to my hunch and it all made sense to me and therefore, it just wasn't as interesting. The middle was fairly slow. I didn't really connect to the characters much, possibly because I was distancing myself. I did like how the ending picked up and I always love little jabs at the very end that make you question things but overall it was just a run of the mill psychological thriller for me. Sadly it wasn't something unique for me and it didn't take me by surprise which is ultimately the end goal of this twist. A good read for those who haven't read as many of these books. If you're new to these elements, this might take you by surprise! 
 Full review as originally posted HERE on The Book Addict's Guide 10/16/15: I'm always interested in a good psychological thriller so I was really excited to start WE'LL NEVER BE APART, especially when I was looking for something with an edge to read around Halloween time (you know... for those horror-chickens like me)! As with most psychological thrillers, I went into this one nearly blind so I could be surprised by any twists that might occur. 
 WE'LL NEVER BE APART definitely had its thrilling moments but... maybe I've read too many psychological thrillers recently... I totally guessed the twist after the first chapter. This was one of those books I was hoping I was wrong and that there would be something more surprising coming but turns out my guess was accurate. It was kind of a bummer because then I spent the rest of the book reading it assuming what the twist was and it made it a bit anticlimactic instead of exciting and mysterious. 
 I did appreciate that the story really dug into deeper layers as the book went on. I struggled for a bit in the middle because, well, once you know the twist, the suspense deflates a bit so I didn't feel as hooked as I had hoped. Things really start to pick up around 50% to 75% in and the pacing really picked up! I found out so much more about the backstories of the characters and there were some very shocking revelations about their backgrounds and how their past affected their present/future. 
 I think the thing I was disappointed in was that even guessing the ending or not, the middle of the book didn't seem to develop as much as I had hoped. I'm sure being in the dark would have left some suspense and I would have felt more of a pull to read but even still, I feel like there wasn't too much going on in the middle. I'm not sure what I was expecting -- more action? More thrilling moments? More hints at backstories earlier on? -- but the book as a whole just didn't quite grab me. I enjoyed the ending and thought it culminated nicely but again, it just didn't feel like anything original for me. I do like when books end on a sort of open note like this -- it's all tied up in the end as far as plot goes but there's juuuust a little jab that makes the reader think twice and I kind of love when horror/suspense books do that! 
 WE'LL NEVER BE APART felt a bit like it fit the mold of the other psychological thrillers I've read so it was nothing too new for me, BUT I think if you're new to these sorts of books, this could be a really fun one! Unfortunately, it just wasn't a good fit for me.
