What an emotional journey. Please read trigger warnings. This was heartbreaking no less than 10 times.

Seeing these two grow together and apart was beautiful.

Thank you Netgalley for this copy

This book by Mia was hands down better than the overhyped Archers Voice. Unlike in Archers, the characters felt more mature to me with real life understandable problems. I felt the despair of Eloise so deeply. Her story is so tragic and how it is revealed overtime was beautifully done. At first she seems like an unlikeable character but you learn how she became that way and can empathize. Her journey to self love and self sufficiency was truly inspiring and completely believable.

Gabriel. What a guy. His guarded demeanor with Eloise at first felt off but once you learn his history and what he endured, you can’t help but feel his pain as your own. I loved how her overcame his internal struggles and then put his love into Eloise. His tenderness and care of her was honorable and I couldn’t help but root for Eloise to finally let him in.

The epilogue was perfect!! Mia has a beautiful way with them and this was no different.

I've recommended this very successfully to fans of Colleen Hoover's books who want drama but not trauma. Not necessarily a mass appeal book but it has potential

Holy moly, what an emotional roller coaster this book took me on! I’m learning with each book that I read by Mia that I need a box of Kleenex next to me! This book completely broke me and then put me back together! Ellie and Gabe both have traumatic pasts and prove just how strong they are! Their love story is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time! I couldn’t get enough of it and didn’t want it to end!

mia Sheridan has quickly become one of my favorite authors recently. her stories are so captivating and this one is no exception. I love her characters and the story line and there is decent spice.

Crystal and Gabriel both had very traumatic childhoods for different reasons. Crystal earns a living by stripping, and truly believes this is what life has to offer her, and that she isn’t worthy of anything better. Gabriel views the world with a deep appreciation after surviving his past, and their two similar yet contrasting world’s intersect.

I really enjoyed how this book is a romance at its core, but really it’s about healing and growth, and left me feeling hopeful. There’s something so satisfying about witnessing a character discover their own self-worth.

The reason I didn’t rate it higher was because the beginning felt a bit slow to me. It also felt like Gabriel went from having severe anxiety over intimacy due to his childhood, that he overcame it in a week— which just didn’t work in this story.

5 ⭐️

A broken woman . . .
A man in need of help . . .
Only love can mend a shattered heart . . .

Mia Sheridan knows how to write stories that reacs in a grab ahold of your whole freakin heart! Crystal (Ellie) and Gabriel’s story brought tears, anger, and full face smiles. SO many intense feels. This was such a heartbreakingly beautiful romance about two broken souls working through shedding their past pains to find themselves, and love.

What I Loved;
💛 Slow Burn Romance
💛 Grumpy/Sunshine
💛 Emotional Journey
💛 Beautiful Characters

Most of All You is an absolute must read. Fans of Archer’s Voice will fall so in love with this one!

Originally published in 2017, but when I saw it available to request I couldn’t pass it up. Thank you to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed this book so much. Getting past trauma and finding true love. Gabriel was the ultimate cinnamon roll MMC. He was just the sweetest. 4.5 stars!

Most of All You by Mia Sheridan held a great deal of potential, yet unfortunately, I found myself unable to fully embrace the author's writing style. The story had a captivating premise and explored intriguing themes, but the execution fell short of my expectations.

Most of All You by Mia Sheridan is a beautifully written and unforgettable romance novel! I absolutely loved Ellie and Gabriel's story, and how it alternated POVs to better understand the main characters unique pasts. Such a heartwarming book that is sure to stay with you forever! If you want a deeply emotional story about two very broken people trying to find their way and become whole again this book is for you.

Is there anything Mia Sheridan writes that is not amazing? Her flawed characters always get me!
Most of All You is moving and beautifully heartbreaking! I enjoyed this book from the first page and I can't recommended this amazing romance to everyone!

3 stars. CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING.

I didn't love "Most of All You" by Mia Sheridan, but I like the general sentiment it's trying to express. This book gave me strong "Archer's Voice" vibes (there are SO many parallels), but with less chemistry between the main characters, Gabriel and Crystal/Ellie. I don't think I ever really rooted for them to be together until the last few chapters. The story shows the value of healing and reconnecting with yourself after immense trauma(s), learning to ask for help from others, taking the time to fix yourself, not judging a book by its cover, and allowing room and space for second chances. The plot is simple, but mounds of crap keep getting added to both Gabriel and Ellie's backstories, which makes this a challenging read. At least their trauma has intention, if that makes any sense? Like, everything ties together, in the end, it's not just a bunch of random horrible things that happen to them that serve no purpose by the book's end. It feels like this book is missing something. It's missing some key element that would have otherwise roped me in and hooked me. Maybe it's the writing style? Maybe it's because I "just" finished "Archer's Voice" and liked that book way more. Maybe it's too jumbled? Maybe it's because it's a little slow to unfold. I liked Ellie and Gabriel as individuals on their own separate healing journies, but together?? They are a bit boring together. If the third act hadn't happened the way it did, I would have liked this book even less.

Thank you to NetGalley, Mia Sheridan, and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for providing me with an ARC copy of this book! All opinions are my own, and I was not compensated for my review.

excellent storytelling as usual. Gabriel and Ellie both find Love from pain and perseverance. the journey paints a compelling tale that kept me captivated from start to finish. Love the new cover on this excellent book.

Most of All You by Mia Sheridan is an emotional, well written, and gripping story! Two broken people come together after very tragic pasts and events to heal themselves through love of each other, and themselves.

Mia Sheridan develops these characters so well, they come alive on the page. If you love a slow burn, he falls first, will they or won't they read, you'll love Most of All You!

While I couldn't relate to the characters I think it does shine a light on victims of abuse which is an important topic. It was a very heavy read, and I would only recommend it to readers looking for just that. It's not a typical romance novel for the typical romance reader.

"Most of All You" an enchanting romance novel that swept me off my feet from the very first page. With its delightful characters, heartfelt emotions, and beautifully crafted narrative, this book is an absolute gem that will make you believe in the power of love. Mia Sheridan blends spice and sweet so well!

If you like archer’s voice i highly recommend you pick up “Most of All You”! I could not put this book down! The hurt/comfort and angst of this book is like no other. I actually think I preferred this book over Archer's Voice but I can't pinpoint the exact reason. Maybe because of the tropes?

This book was absolutely stunning and such a beautiful story. Leave it to Mia to rip your heart out and piece it back together beautifully. Wonderfully written.

After Archer’s Voice I’ve been trying to find another book from this author that really grips me. The premise of this book had promise, but it was a bit too corny at some points to really get lost in the story. Perhaps it’s a bit obvious that this book is from the author’s earlier stages of writing.

"How extraordinary life could be: so filled with glorious beauty and heartrending despair. And so often swirled together that you couldn't separate the two."
-Ellie

The entire time I was reading Most of All You, two words swam through my mind; pain and beauty. The balance between those two is so fragile, yet so necessary to live life as it demands to be lived.

Mia Sheridan has brought me to my knees with Gabriel and Elosie' s story. I cried for their suffering. I cried for the splendor these two individuals found in each other.

This is the story of two people who have each been ravaged by the worst life has to offer. It is the story of two souls who have found a way to survive despite the hell they have edured. It is the story of the rainbow which reminds us there is the sweet promise of hope after a violent storm.

The indestructiblity of the determined human spirit is exquisitely illustrated by Mia Sheridan's well-chosen words. She has chosen and woven the words so expertly. The fabric they make flows and shimmers like the finest silk.

This book made me think, question, and marvel at the fragility and strength that exist in life. It made me appreciate that sliver of hope that shines through the darkness when you least expect it. Most Of All You is a provocative and stunning piece of literature.
