All That Was was an interesting book, but I am not sure that it is something that I will remember reading after a few months.

Could not get into this one. Did not finish just under 8%.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

This wasn’t a very happy book and normally that doesn’t bother me if the story is interesting, you feel a connection to the characters, etc. because not every story has to be happy. I think that was the problem with this. I didn’t connect to anybody. Most of the characters were very unlikeable, the plot was slow and repetitive. I just really felt nothing except maybe some exasperation with the whole thing.

Heartbreaking. The characters were really well developed. Totally something I'd recommend to my students.

This book takes you on a wild ride through the friendship of Piper and Sloane. Things get ever crazier when Piper's boyfriend "Soup" kisses Sloane. But, then the unthinkable happens Piper is found dead and Sloane has to face the guilt of what happened.

Holy Cow.
Actual Rating....4.5 stars.

I'm still trying to formulate feelings into words.

The writing...I loved the writing. This author...I need more!

What I loved...No is no even if no started out as yes....the minute yes becomes no it's NO. I think that point can't be driven home enough. I really liked the way the author didn't preach this theme...but it was there, just below the surface. And sometimes the hardest person to say NO to is the person who is supposed to be your best friend.

What I didn't love....certain parts of the book were a bit confusing. Possibly because I was reading this on my device and I think in places the formatting was off a bit. NBD...did not in any way ruin the story.

What I needed....I would have loved a little more ending. A little more clarity in the end. BUT, I understand why that isn't there. So, I'm just imagining the ending just the way I want it...PERFECTO! :-)
