Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author, for an ARC of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
The synopsis of this book sounded interesting to me so I requested a copy to read.
Unfortunately, I have tried reading this book on 2 separate occasions and during this 2nd attempt, I have
decided to stop reading this book
and state that this book just wasn't for me.

I’ve been a fan of this author for some time. While not my favorite of her work, this was an enjoyable read…with all the elements this author is known and loved for…warmth, humor, strong quirky characters, food, books and animals. You can always count on this author for an engaging tale.

It was interesting and quick read.
I really liked Evie, she was interesting, funny and had some kind of spunk.
But wow, i did not know what to expect; but it was good.

What a fun quirky book! I loved all the characters and all her animals! Loved the fact that everyone knew about her premonitions and believed her. I thought this was a really good story! Thanks to Netgalley for the early copy. Definitely recommend

You had me at premonitions! I was instantly attracted to this story and loved every minute of it. It had humor and heartache. A must read.

I have loved so many of Cathy Lamb's books but this one missed the mark for me. I will be looking forward to more in the future, and chalk this up to a one off.

What a wonderful story! It was full of twists and turns. I wanted to go pack up and live in this small town and own a bookstore! Cathy Lamb just knows how to write a story and it draws you in and you just don’t want the last page to ever end! I was asked to read this ARC for my honest review. I want to give this more than 5 stars it’s another master piece 🎉🎉

A lovely story that has everything, quirky characters, humour, fantastic setting and family generations. The story works well being told by the different points of view and it is one that will keep you intrigued until you have finished it

I’m a huge Cathy Lamb fan. As with all of her books, All About Evie does not disappoint. The way Cathy writes makes you feel like you’re right there with her characters. Evie is unique, funny & her relationship with her family is beautiful. You can’t help but adore her. I personally love the reference to another character from a previous book. It was a really cute connection. I don’t want to give too much away but I definitely recommend this book.

It was well written and I really enjoyed the plot. I had recommended this one to my friends and family. Thanks again to NetGalley for the chance to read and review this book.

This book has it all. From the crazy characters, romance, mystery, lovable animals and a sexy vet. This book had me laughing out loud at different times and shaking my head at other times. I have not read Cathy Lamb before this book but I will be reading more of her stories.

This is a feel good story with great, developed characters. I love family dynamics in stories, and this one has that! I’m from the PNW and Lamb did a great job describing the scenery. I enjoyed reading this novel.

For once, I am not sure how to review a book!! The story idea was interesting and unique, but the choppy sentences and different PoVs put me off. I found it very difficult to get my attention back and literally had to force myself to finish. Maybe it's just me not being able go get into the book. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher, Kensington Books, for providing me with an ARC of this book.

I fell in love with so many aspects of this book: quirky characters, beautiful setting, the main character, Evie’s love of books and of course the story itself. It is full of family love, heartache, pain & sorrow and magic. .I also liked that it is a generational story, switching back and forth between the timelines. Another great ready by Cathy Lamb!

An emotional journey of life altering revelations. Cathy Lamb’s description of the town and the delightful characters make you want to move. This is a must read, page-turner.

Evie Lindsay lives in the San Juan Islands of the Pacific Northwest and owns her own quaint little bookstore. While she loves her family, she always feels like a bit of a misfit as she has premonitions - seeing what is going to happen to people - and has since she was girl.. Evie doesn't like this "gift" although the residents always show interest and intrigue. Evie often wonders where this gift came from as no one else in her family has it. She is close with her mother and sisters and her sister Jules is set to get married on the island. With the help of a DNA test and Jules, she uncovers secrets of her past and the people in her life.
I adored this book!!!! It was a bit slow in the beginning, but I LOVED the cast of characters and the story line. My first Cathy Lamb book but DEFINITELY not my last!!
Thanks to Cathy Lamb, Kensington and NetGalley for the ARC of this book.
