We'll Never Be Apart, by Emiko Jean From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up—Alice Monroe has been sent back to the mental facility on Savage Isle. This time around, she carries physical scars to match her emotional ones. Her boyfriend Jason died in a fire while attempting to help her escape the hospital the last time she was a patient. Now her scars ache, in particular during her one-on-one sessions with the overly concerned Dr. Goodman or while she is near the irreverent loner Chase Ward. Alice's biggest cause for concern is Celia, her pyromaniac twin sister, who is locked in the neighboring D wing just a few miles away. "Cellie" is the one who started the fire that killed Jason and burned Alice. The only way to stop her? Alice will have to find a way out again and vanquish her once and for all. This story, one part mystery and two parts psychological thriller, also gives a substantial amount of time to the development of a romance between the roguish Chase and the isolated protagonist. The work is fleshed out by supporting characters like Amelia, Alice's punkish roommate, who proves to be just as dynamic and interesting as the main characters. Perhaps a little predictable at times, the plot and its conclusion will be guessed by savvy teens. In spite of this, Alice proves to be a compelling narrator worthy of her audience's attention. VERDICT A good secondary title for collections in need of YA intellectual thrillers with strong female protagonists.—Ryan P. Donovan, Southborough Public Library, MA
Review "Realistic characters make good use of a gothic setting that will attract anyone with a taste for the edge."—Kirkus "A clever psychological thriller that had me holding my breath to the bitter end. More please!"—Kimberly Derting, author of the Body Finder series "Engaging and twisted, Emiko Jean's WE'LL NEVER BE APART will draw you in and leave you reeling. An intimate study of damaged people, the pain they're in, and the havoc they wreak."—Kendare Blake, author of Anna Dressed in Blood “I love a wild psychological ride—and Emiko Jean elevates the genre with this taut, provocative thriller. Jealously, violence, and revenge are the sharp corners of a novel that holds at center themes of loss, love, and the warm, beating heart of human connection. Alice and Celia are fascinating as twins whose personae play out along a rich dynamic of entrapment, suspicion, trauma, and alienation—and raise always-intriguing issues of sisterhood, duality, and how existing as a double is also a splintering of self. A killer debut!” —National Book Award finalist Adele Griffin “Haunting and gripping, WE’LL NEVER BE APART is a twisty, thrilling debut that kept me completely riveted. I can’t wait to read whatever Emiko Jean writes next!”—Megan Miranda, author of Fracture “Taut and disquieting, WE'LL NEVER BE APART will unsettle you long before it pulls the rug from under your feet. Like the institution that Alice and Cellie call home, this book comes with a warning: Once inside, be careful who you trust.”—Kat Rosenfield, author of Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone

It's as simple as that.Alice Monroe, 17 has had a hard knock life, a life straight out of Dickens. Alice and her twin sister Celia were orphaned when their grandfather who was their only living guardian died. Readers know and learn nothing of the girls' parents. The girls fended for themselves for a few days until a kind neighbor saw them playing outside and took them in until other arrangements could be made. It was at the neighbor's house that Alice learned how to do origami and become quite proficient at it. It was also at this time that therapy became a large part of the girls' lives.The twins are bounced around from one unsatisfactory group home to a mental health facility to other group homes. It is at one group home where Alice meets Jason, a peer with a similar background to hers and who becomes her protector. He in fact would return to the home where they and the other charges were being abused and confront their abuser in a very effective manner.Alice and Cellie, as she calls her sister are fortunately not the cliche good twin-evil twin routine. It is plain that deep seated emotional problems are part of the picture and Alice appears to be very suggestible. She sees herself as the one who takes the blame for things that Cellie does, such as setting fires with Jason. The Pyro Peers have become quite a force to be reckoned with.After one such incident involving fire and violence, the Pyro Peers are committed to Savage Isle State Hospital in Washington State. Alice is free of Cellie, whom she believes is in the worst ward, D Ward with its barbed wire, high towers and guards. Other inmates have important parts in the story such as Alice's roommate Amelia, a girl with self mutilation issues. A boy named Chase becomes a staunch ally. Somehow Chase knows Alice is one of the Pyro Peers. Alice had served time in the same institution earlier in that same year after a horrific incident involving fire. She and Jason somehow manage to escape from the institution with dire consequences.Returned to the institution, Alice is faced with legal proceedings against her for the fire setting incidents. She is determined to find Cellie and believes that Chase can help her get to her sister so she can kill her.This is a very taut psychological novel. I love books like this. This is a book that will have readers staying up late to finish. As another U.S. reviewer noted, I think it is aimed at an older audience than 12. Adult themes and language are part of the story. That having been said, that somehow makes the characters all the more plausible and the story stronger. Alice has a horrific life and the institution is no place anybody would ever want to be. Even so, Alice lucks into the aptly named Dr. Goodman as her therapist. She also interacts with her fellow inmates. Seclusion and the Quiet Room, which was a padded cell are ever present dangers that hang over the inmates' heads like a Sword of Damocles.The legal repercussions of the fire starting; Alice's spotty memory and the good journal she keeps at the direction of Dr. Goodman make a good book even better. Readers will stay with this book until the very last page.The Dave Clark 5's delightful 1965 classic "Catch Us If You Can" could well underscore this book. So could "Hard Knock Life" from "Annie" and Arthur Brown's terrifying 1968 hit "Fire," which is a large part of the story.

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."When they ask me what happened that night, I'll say, It was a mistake. But it wasn't. I don't remember, I'll say. But I do."- - -We'll Never Be Apart opens up to a horrific scene. From Cellie's point of view, we get to see the night this book is all centered around. The fire in the barn—a fire set by Cellie herself. Her twin, Alice, along with Alice's boyfriend, Jason, are caught in the fire. Cellie wants them to burn. She enjoys it. She feels like a third wheel and resents both of them for planning to leave her behind.After that, we jump ahead. Cellie and Alice have both been taken to Savage Isle—a hospital for the mentally ill. They are being kept separate. Alice wants revenge on her twin, because Jason died in the fire that night. So Alice makes it her mission to find where they are keeping her twin and kill her before she can finish what she started in that barn.We follow Alice's POV through the entire book, but there is also a flashback type element told in the form of Alice's journal. We learn how she and Cellie ended up where they are and a little bit of their past. We learn that the twins lived with their grandfather until he died. They were then sent to foster homes (which is how Jason came into the picture), some of which were okay, others...not so much. From the moment their grandfather died, we see a slow decline and really witness some of the true madness that lies within Cellie.I liked this book a lot, but it did have some flaws. Mostly, I found the pace a little bit slow and drawn out. In the end, it didn't matter much because the story was great; very thrilling and tough to put down.My favorite part of this book is the plot twist. You will probably see it coming, but the author does a great job of disguising it. I had an inkling it was happening, but I still needed confirmation. I won't spoil it, but it's pretty huge and awesome. Emiko Jean did a fantastic job with this.I also think the kind-of romance between Alice and Chase was cute, but Alice's constant moaning over Jason kind of ruined it for me. Again, this didn't matter much in the end, because it wasn't the main focus of the book. Alice and Cellie's life was the main focus. Their mutual declination as well as the revenge aspect were definitely in the forefront. The romance between Alice and Chase was more of an afterthought for me.Emiko Jean is a great writer. Her words were quite poetic and beautiful even with the grittiness of the story. The whole book had this dark, almost spooky feel to it. It was almost like a haze over the whole story. I don't know how to describe it other than that. :) But it was amazing.All in all, I definitely recommend this book. It has it's flaws—mainly a slowness to the plot—but it also has great strengths. The book is mysterious and creepy, but also thrilling and keeps you guessing. It has a very twisty plot, which I LOVED. The characters are very well written and quite relatable in some ways, even under the circumstances they are in. The ending had some loose ends, but not enough to leave you feeling unhappy. Emiko Jean wrapped up just enough, but left some things open for speculation. It was really a great book and I recommend it if you are looking for something creepy and surprising."And I know, I know, we'll never be apart."
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A Fantastic Thriller with a Creepy Twist! By Kelly Gunderman This review originally appeared on my young adult book blog, herestohappyendings.com.I’ve always had problems with books that label themselves as thrillers, mostly because they are so predictable and the author just tries too hard to make it believable or interesting. The characters usually lack depth, and they’re typically uninteresting, because that author will work so hard to create a great story and plot line, and then they forget to do anything worthwhile with the characters.If you feel that way about a lot of “thrillers” that you have read, let me introduce you to We’ll Never Be Apart, by debut author Emiko Jean.Yes, this is her first novel. How, I have no idea. I had to double check that, because this book made it seem like she’s been writing for years. Part of me wishes this were the case, because I absolutely need more books by her. Since there are none, I want to go into hibernation until she writes another.Okay, let’s take a look at the book now, shall we?Our story starts off with our main character, Alice, locked up in a mental hospital called Savage Isle. They believe that she started a fire in an abandoned barn that gave her some pretty nasty burns and killed her boyfriend, Jason. Only she knows that her twin sister, Celia, started the fire. Alice finds out that Celia is locked up in the same hospital, in the D ward, which is the ward with the highest security. Since charges are being pressed against her, she is determined to make sure that her sister pays for what she did.While she is in Savage Isle, she meets her roommate, Amelia, who has spiky pink hair and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Amelia and Alice become good friends – eating meals together, sharing secrets, and spending their time together. Alice also meets Chase, a mysterious guy who was recently in the D Ward – and who promises to help Alice find Celia. So they work together, with Chase stealing key cards to break out of their locked rooms, and while trying to help Alice seek her revenge on Celia, the two form a bond and a relationship that makes Alice feel cared for in a way that she hasn’t in a long time.The characters in this book were deep and interesting. Their personalities are fantastic – especially Alice. She and Celia have had a very troubling past together, which is told in Alice’s journal entries that she keeps while she is a patient at Savage Isle. These journal entries describe Alice and Celia’s troubled childhoods that include going from foster home to foster home, abuse, and Celia and Jason’s love for setting fires. As the journal entries continue through each chapter, we learn more and more about how troubled Celia really is, and how Jason isn’t the person that Alice thought he was.This really is one of the few books that live up to the name of “thriller.” It’s exciting from the very first page, and it kept me guessing to the very last.Note: I received an ARC copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
