Was not expecting this book to be the sequel to another (nowhere was this indicated) and it thus felt a tad strange trying to wade in. And then, all three main characters just felt off to me, not the type of people I'd like to get behind and/or root for. Maybe if I'd come to know them from Book 1, it would've been a different story, but being introduced to them the way it happened here had me going 'Hell, no!' which then carried through much of the book based on this first impression.

Hilarious! I didn't realize this was part of a series but it is easily read as a stand alone. Sometimes overly chatty and a lot of potty mouth but it is very relatable and you can imagine hearing these characters as they sip their wine. A lot of dialogue, would probably make a good theater production.If you're looking for some light reading and a few laughs, this is a good start!
I was provided an advanced reader copy and was under no obligation to write a review. The opinions expressed are my own. Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

3 college friends get together for a girls trip to plan a wedding, but not everyone is as happy as they look. They’re each facing issues they don’t want to discuss, but their friendship and sisterhood pulls them through. 4 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is going to sound crazy, or maybe not, but this book gives me Tyler Perry vibes. Not that I didn't like it I actually enjoyed the book, but it was so annoying and then so damn cheesy at times. I didn't know there was a book one, but I am happy that the book can be read as a standalone. I loved reading about beautiful black women doing their thing, and being all successful and in LOVE! But some parts I was ANNOYED and almost put the book down. I am telling you this book read like a Tyler Perry movie, and I don't mind the cheesy stuff especially when it comes to the romance thing, and their sisterhood being in a Sorority, but some of the characters were so ANNOYING, and inconsiderate. But then again, I loved how their sisterhood keeps them together, they care for each other enough to be there which is great.

This was everything and more I could have expected from this author. The ins and outs and personalities of the leads and supporting xast was worth all of my time.

What started out as a challenge on a Girls Trip, turns into three sorority sisters/friends dealing with relationship issues.

Twyla is hiding a devastating secret from her friends, and try’s to face her past. The healing must begin, in order for her to hopefully find the love she so desperately deserves.

Hahna’s relationship with Sam is moving into a positive direction. Even after she takes him home to meet her family. This, while trying to rebuild the brand that she created.

Kimberly and Ron are planning their destination wedding. Bridesmaids, sorority sisters and an ex-wife are all a source of drama. I love the fact that their love supersedes it all.

I gave this book by @tiffanylwarren 💎💎💎💎, because I was thrown off by the use of both first and third person narrative. Loved the story tho!

Great follow up to book 1. Also a good read. This book was a page turner and keeps the reader entertained from cover to cover. It’s filled with lots of love, drama, jealousy, and revenge. You will be on an emotional roller coaster so sit back and enjoy the ride!!

This was a great read. I featured it as Book of the Day on all my social media platforms, and I included it in my monthly roundup of news releases for my Black Fiction Addiction blog.

This lively novel follows the lives of sorority sisters, Kimberly. Hahna. Twila. We follow the ups and downs of their lives and the importance of solid sisterhood, especially when sharing secrets that are tearing apart your life. I loved this book and enjoyed reading about their glamorous lifestyles but related to the ups and downs of life and the importance of having friends to cry on.

Three college friends and their sorority line sister come together to plan for Kimberly’s wedding. There is over 20 years of friendship but some of them have been going through the difficult times in their lives. Kimberly who is about to marry the man she met in college but went their separate lives with other’s and now found their way back to each other. The only thing is Ron has an ex-Wife Sabrina and their twin daughters and Sabrina is giving Ron and Kimberly a hard time with the twins being in the destination wedding which is on a Caribbean island. Twila was a victim of rape and after going on a run in her subdivision, she sees the person who raped her is now living in her subdivision too. Hahna’s business has taken a lost due to the fact that a former employee did damage to the company’s reputation by causing a scandal. Now an ex is trying to come back in Hahnas life under the pretense of wanting to help her, especially now that she is in a serious relationship with someone else.
Some of the other sorority sisters has some life challenges Samantha who is a minister and takes being religious to a whole another level and is upset that she is not a maid of honor but just a bridesmaid instead. Debbie a single mother who is looking for the next man with money to help take care of her and her kids.
There is a lot of drama, love, romance, jealousy and revenge that takes place in this storyline. This was a page-turner and my attention was held from the beginning until the end.
I highly recommend this book to read.

I voluntarily received a ARC from Netgalley and this review is of my honest opinion and thoughts.

It’s a nice story of sisterhood and friendship getting through the ups and dish’s of life together. However it’s also the second book in a series and it would likely have been easier to get into this one if I had read the first book.

This is book 2 about sorority line sisters of Gamma Phi Gamma that are in their 40's. The ladies have been friends since they were on line and continue to be close friends until this day. This book continues on the life of Hahna, Twila, and Kimberly. . One of them is getting married, and all of them are dealing with some type of drama and they each must make a decision as to the next step in their individual lives. This was such a great story of sisterhood and female friendship. I loved this book and can't wait to read the next book by this author.

All the Things I Meant to Tell You allowed us to catch up with Kimberly, Hahna, Twila, and their sorority sisters. As the friends/sisters prepare for Kimberly they each face challenges that are meant to make them fumble in the game of life. All the Things I Meant to Tell You allows the reader to reevaluate life, take inventory of your friends, and reclaim the peace in your life. Which friend or sorority sister are you? Easy and enjoyable read for the spring.

ALL THE THINGS I MEANT TO TELL YOU is the second installment of Tiffany Warren's series about three successful women in their forties.
Kimberly has found love and is now planning her wedding with Ron. She just isn't sure if Ron's ex-wife will ruin their dream wedding. Hahna is in her turmoil with a young writer and a past love while Twila is trying to recover after a sexual assault.
I have to got to say that I found this work really fast-paced. Some of their antics had me shaking my head while others made me laugh. These women are strong, opinionated and their love for each other is real. It's evident that they are sisters through it all. The sexual assault story can be a possible trigger but it was mentioned in the premise. It good to see the character engage in therapy, though, as the blurb says, Twila is seriously contemplating revenge.
I think fans of Tiffany Warren will enjoy this book, however, I do think you might have to read the first book to understand a lot of what went on. I look forward to reading more from this author.
Thank you #Netgalley and #Kensington for this read.

All the Things I Meant to Tell You is my first book by Tiffany L. Warren. I didn't realize it was a sequel to another book - All the Things I Should Have Known. From the cover I thought it was a beach read which I found is not true. It does involve a beach/destination wedding but there are a lot more serious things at play. The story is about three 40-something women named Twila, Kimberly and Hahna. A great story about loyalty and friendships both in good and bad times!

Read the 1st book or you won't get this one. I hadn't read the 1st one, and I just couldn't get in to this one.

Kimberly is going to marry Ron. All of a sudden, she invites Ron's ex to her wedding.
Twila confronts a ghost from her past. Will she be able to be strong and heal from her trauma?
Hahna has finally found a good man , and is incredibly happy. But then, a phone call brings bad news.
They're a sorority, even though they're in their forties. And they will act on that.

This is an interesting book. There were so many characters playing at the same time at one point, that I got a bit disoriented, but overall it was a good read.

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first novel I've read by Tiffany Warren and its certainly won't be the last. I really enjoyed how honest and refreshing the characters were, they felt like friends to me. The storyline was very realistic all the way down to the dynamics of the friendship. I think each character represented what most girlfriends have in their circle of friends, and that's what made me identify with the story more. Even though you cycle through different characters with each chapter, the story line was fluid enough that I didn't find myself getting confused. The story didn't feel rushed to me and I would love to see where these characters are in 5 years.

Kimberly, Hahna, and Twila are strong women and they all have secrets they've kept from one another and from the men in their lives. This is a sequel to All the Things I Should Have Known (which I liked a lot) - and I do think this is all the better for having already met this trio. These women have serious careers, a strong friendship, and an ability to overcome. Not to forget - Ron, Sam, and DeAndre are also good characters. Know that sexual assault is part of this plot. There's some drama but it never goes over the top and gosh it's funny in spots. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. A fun read.

Sisterhood is Tight

The ladies of Gamma Phi Gamma, the men of Omega Phi Gamma motto was " I Got You". This was evident when they were together or apart. All the Things I Meant to Tell You is the follow-up book to All the Things I Should Have Known. Delves into the lives, problems, love life, of Hannah, Twila, Kimberly, and last but not least Samantha. We also meet the men in their lives, Ron, DeAndrea, and Sam. The support they gave to each other was bar none. Ms. Warren dealt with sensitive issues, from start to finish this book was interesting., as a mature reader, I love the fact this story was about women in their late 30's to early '40s, Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book for an honest review.
