I think my high school students will love this book. I thought I had the ending figured out, but I definitely didn’t! There’s suspense, mystery, emotion, and romance all rolled into one.

I enjoyed this book from the beginning. Learning about the characters and building a relationship with River right out of the gate kept me engaged the entire book.

There were twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting that made this book that’s much more enjoyable!

LOVED IT.

I did not see any of those twists coming. I had limited time for reading when I first started the book, so my pace was slow, but once I got to where you learn Logan has secrets, I blew off my whole day just to finish because I absolutely NEEDED to know what his deal was. I loved how River was confrontational when she found shit out, too. We didn’t have to wait forever to get answers every time she learned new parts of the mysteries in her life.

It was spicier than I expected, so if you don’t like that, you may want to pass.

This was my first Sloan Harlow book, but I’m a forever fan now and may have to go back to read her debut. Thanks, NetGalley and Putnam for the ARC.

River learns that in a world of bittersweet blessings, every silver lining has its cloud. Working at the local diner, River finds herself constantly wondering who the mysterious benefactor could be. It's definitely not her hot but aloof coworker, Logan Evans, who seems to have a personal vendetta against her—until he unexpectedly comes to her rescue in front of her ex. Sparks fly between them, but trust issues are an ever-present storm cloud. As River navigates the tangled mess of secrets from her family’s past and the hidden motives of those around her, she learns that sometimes, the people you least expect are the ones who can help you the most. The mystery of the anonymous donor keeps you guessing, and Logan’s protective side adds an extra layer of swoon-worthy drama. I loved the relatable characters and a roller-coaster of emotions. This is a compelling read that balances heartbreak and hope in equal measure. It’s a story of resilience, unexpected allies, and finding light even in the darkest of times.

This book is perfect for those who enjoy a blend of romance and intrigue, this book will leave you turning pages long into the night.

I like where the story is going but this book gives me the vibe of my Wattpad phase. If my younger self was reading this, for sure I’d be raving about the book. If you’re seeking for a YA romance, mystery, and plot twists, then this is for you. The only problem i had when reading the book was the obvious plot holes.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thank you to Sloan Harlow and NetGalley for this eARC!


I loved this book! It had me hooked from the beginning. I was constantly wanting to read another page! The mystery, the who dun it, the romance, and the thrill of it all were amazing. I kept forgetting I was technically reading a YA book! I really would love to read about what happens to River after the book ends!

This book had me hooked with its emotional depth and complex characters. The story explores family, love, and secrets in such a way that you can't help but be drawn in.

Enjoyed the story and characters but a bit too young adult for me. I flew through it and did like the book just meant for a younger crowd. Thank you NetGalley for this arc

When this book starts out the main character, River has lost everything. Her mother has disappeared months ago, her father was killed in the house fire that destroyed all her belongings and almost killed her. Months before she had been deserted by her longtime boyfriend. The only thing she has is one female relative that she lives with and her best friend Tawny with whom she works at a local diner in the small town in Arizona. As the story unfolds readers are treated to hints about all the reasons these things happened to River, and they all come together in the end in a startling way. The characters in this novel are well done and the plot is excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed this well-written mystery and romance. Thanks to #NetGalley and #Sloan Harlow#AllWeLostWasEverything for the opportunity to read and review this very excellent book.

This book pulls you in from the beginning and doesn't let you go, until the end.
River is a strong character who is going through a lot!
I really liked River and felt for her as she discovers more about her family's past.
I liked how the relationship between her and Logan blossomed. There were some things that came up and things that could pull them apart, but they realized they both really needed each other.
Her Aunt is a gem and does her best to take care of River.
There were some twists at the end that I was not expecting.

A good read for young adults who are going through a hard time.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

3.5 I really enjoyed this book. And I’m very thankful for getting an Arc. I enjoyed the mystery and the romance in this book. It got brought down to a 3.5 because there was a plot twist I that seem to unbelievable to me.

Synopsis: River has had a difficult year. Her mom disappeared, her father was killed and her boyfriend broke up with her. The only people she can count on are her best friend Tawny and Tia Anna. River uncovers some dark secrets about her family. How can she go on?

Thoughts: This is the second Sloan Harlow book that I’ve read, and I really liked it. There are twists and turns that I was not expecting. This was a slow read in the beginning but the pace picked up around 40% of the book.

Thank you to Sloan Harlow, Penguin Random House and NetGalley for the advanced copy.

Big thank you NetGalley and to the publisher for the chance to review this book pre-release. This was my first book from this author, and I really enjoyed it. It had some good twists & turns, though I did wish that the ending had a stronger impact in my opinion. I enjoyed it though, and will certainly try more by Ms, Harlow! A more formal review will be available on my IG/TikTok and Goodreads for release. 3.75 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this dark, twisty thriller, geared toward a teen/young adult audience. After her mother walks out and a house fire takes her father's life, eighteen-year-old River is just trying to keep her head above water. An anonymous two million dollar GoFundMe donation throws River for a loop, but she vows not to use the money - while she simultaneously tries to figure out the donor's identity. Meanwhile, River keeps busy working at the local diner alongside her best friend, while trying to dodge both her ex-boyfriend (Noah) and her alluring but standoffish coworker (Logan). A series of events leads River to question her family background and history. Was the fire really an accident? Where is her mother? And why does it seem like *everyone* has something to hide? All We Lost Was Everything kept me guessing, and I simply did not see the layers of twists coming. Bonus points for a half Filipina protagonist and for Tigery the cat.

Thank you NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP For the Arc!

Honestly, the beginning of the book was interesting. We get to learn about River and the tragedy that befell on her family, years later where she is still mourning the loss of her father and the what if's of her mother ever returning. It was around the 20-50% mark where things felt they halted quite a lot. River got with Logan, her Ex was back in her life. And the romance with Logan took a lot from the thriller aspect. It wasn't until halfway that the book began to pick up again, and made everything fly by for me.

I was obsessed with finding out all the mysteries and plots going on. Some of them left me a bit confused, but overall, the thrill was there and I was into it. The ending of the book was okay. I wish we got to know more on what happened with Noah's father and a bit more time with how Logan and River reconciled afterwards.

Overall it was a great read and I can't wait for more!

This book totally sucked me in! Even though it's marketed as YA, I think adults will love it too. It's got the whole package: sweet romance, a mystery that keeps you guessing, and some seriously surprising plot twists. If you're looking for a quick read with a dash of romance and and character's who all have secrets, you should definitely check this one out.

Thank you to NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group for an ARC of this book. I voluntarily read it and gave an honest review.
