That’s all seventeen-year-old Alice Monroe thinks about. Committed to a mental ward at Savage Isle, Alice is haunted by memories of the fire that killed her boyfriend, Jason. A blaze her twin sister Cellie set. But when Chase, a mysterious, charismatic patient, agrees to help her seek vengeance, Alice begins to rethink everything. Writing out the story of her troubled past in a journal, she must confront hidden truths.
Is the one person she trusts only telling her half the story?
My Thoughts:
Wow… okay, goodness gracious I don’t even know where to start with this. I guess I can begin this way – I loved it. We’ll Never Be Apart surprised me, and I have to tell you I enjoyed it very much. After the last book I had read and had been looking …show more content…
When the book opens up, Alice has just survived an attempt on her life orchestrated by her twin sister in the hopes of killing both Alice and her boyfriend, Jason. That right there was what caught me, this book opens up with a prologue in Celia’s point of view (the twin) as she burns down the house. Let me tell you, boy did it give me the chills. So, once at the hospital, Alice is determined to get some answers and get revenge on her sister for what she has done. She enlists the help of Chase, another (swoonworthy) resident of the hospital, and chaos …show more content…
The characters were complex. They were imperfect, broken, and yet heart-breakingly beautiful. I wanted Alice to win, I wanted Chase to heal, and I wanted Amelia’s parents to come for her. As I have already said, Alice is our protagonist – and I loved her voice. I think the biggest aspect of my love for her was her stubborn nature; it’s there, but she doesn’t let it stop her when she actually needs help. Another reason I loved her so much was because of the things she did not tell us outright. This book is told in two separate ways. We get both Alice’s narration, and then snippets of her journal entries at the end of each chapter. These journal entries shed some much needed light on everything that happened to Alice in her past and how it made her into the girl we meet in the first chapter. She was remarkable, really. Then we have Chase, the hunk of the mental hospital. God, that sounds weird just thinking that – but it is true. Chase is no hero, he is no knight in shining armor and he sure as hell is not perfect. But, he is exactly what this story and Alice needs. I loved him, I really did – no explanation needed other than that. Then we have Amelia, she isn’t as big of a part in this story as Chase is, but I do feel as if she played an important role in bringing Alice out of her shell. Amelia is Alice’s roommate and I absolutely adored her. She would be an amazing friend to have, and Alice knows it and embraces it whole heartedly. All in all,
