“We’ll Never Be Apart” was one of the roughest thrillers I’ve read. The mindful narration was subtle, unexpected and eruptive! A totally mind engaging novel, tiring all your thoughts and leaving you speechless. Psychotic actions meant only to give you such unforgettable goosebumps. Nothing could have got me ready for this book!
Title: “We’ll Never Be Apart”
Author: Emiko Jean
Number of pages: 288
Genre: Psychological thriller
Trope: mental health
Stars Rating: 5/5 โญ
Recommended Age: +16
The book is narrated subjectively by Alice, the supposed healthy mental sister. Its ending will prove us why the single perspective story was for the best. Every sequence of this psychological thriller was designed to mess with our curious minds. The aesthetic of this book just got more and more frightening. It was definitely the best psychological thriller for the mind game lovers. “We’ll Never Be Apart” had always been one of my constant book recommendations.
The backstory
The girls’ backstory was a brilliant way of narrating such creepy details and sequences! Only the thought of living in the same house with two pyromaniac creepy kids and it’s enough to leave forever that house. It was not only creepy, but unexpectedly the perfect tension maker. I could feel the terror of the characters and see Celie’s revengeful and emotionless stare. Everything was so, so real! And it was all because of the details and amazing narration. I admit: the author did an amazing job transmitting the complete story!
It doesn’t matter how in love I am with a good classic romance novel, I’ll always be crawling back to the creepy thrillers from my bookshelves! They simply give me the needed reason to continue reading and blogging: they bring me the new, the unpredictable and mind blowing details. The thrillers just make my heart pump better in my chest and beat faster. The adrenaline is unmissable and I am completely in love with this!
The twins
The girls were absolutely amazing in their interactions. They grew up together only to grow out from each other. Celie developed a narcissistic dangerous psychotic feature, which put her sister and everyone else in an immense danger over the time. Alice always sustained she was put on Savage Island by mistake, because she was the crazy one’s twin sister. Seeing all those flashbacks of memories through Alice perspective strongly influenced my guesses upon the action. This whole novel is a complete mind-game, squeezing your mind and turning it upside down in a monstrous crazy fast spinning plate.
A crime of passion
I think their childhood conditions and Celie’s mental health problems all faded away when the girl started the fire. Alice lost back on that night the one person able to save her from Celie… Justin, her boyfriend. It was a crime of passion, definitely. The reason of that crime was Celie’s love and also the fright she would lose Alice and Justin as well.
I think the girls’ need to hang on someone else came obviously from their childhood abandonment issues. They had lived plenty of days in the same house with a dead person. It was impossible not to activate chaotical and crazy mental health issues. Alice had always seen Celie guilty of her boyfriend’s death and I thought that was a pretty good reason for the action to be put in motion, deeper and darker.

A wormhole inside the world
Savage Island was like a wormhole. All the circumstances created by the place of action just added some savor to the memories and thirst of revenge. All of Alice’s staying on the island revolved around her tries of finding Celie and stopping her once for good. Chase, another patient, offered to help her get rid of her stress factor, Celie.
All the outside world went quiet, while the readers got caught between security breaches, calculated plans and revenge. It was really creepy how Alice was talking about her plans to put her sister down. All the speeches about being scared for her own life and safety, feeling like by killing her she would gain her spark again. The emotions were burning intensely and the tension was raising to unbearable limits. Celie was never to be found, but the plans were just getting more effective and more ambitious.

In the following part of the review, I will approach aspects of the book which will include possible spoilers.
Pure insanity! Celie was her! Celie was part of Alice! LITERALLY! I haven’t ever read a book with an ending as shocking as this one!
When Alice found her file, I thought that was it. I strongly believed she would find out the truth, accept it and try to heal. In exchange, she accepted that Celie will never be gone. Alice preferred living in her own delusional world, where she would be happy, but still judged by the others, living a life of faking her sanity.
Alice was extremely ill, of course, but her character development was totally something new and fresh for what readers expect from a thriller. I mean… generally a happy end or a sad one, right? I guess “We’ll Never Be Apart” is not quite the type of a usual thriller. And I am so glad for this!
