Redge reviewed Everything We Are by Janci Patterson
None
5 stars
Ah, Felix... <3 He is breaking my heart - just like I knew he would even before I started reading this story. But he turns out to be a wonderful - if deeply flawed - hero, and the connection he has with Jenna is just swoon-worthy. And then, there's Ty: Jenna's son and force majeure and stealer of hearts.
Since the book deals with some tough subjects like drug addiction, for example, this is not the book for you if you are looking for a lighthearted, fluffy rom-com. Yes, there is romance, and there are plenty of funny and lighthearted moments, but both Jenna and Felix have a lot of baggage to deal with, so there is angst and drama, too.
4.5/5 dang-it-you're-breaking-my-heart stars
