Intrigued by the overall concept. I love how Lexi went off the beaten path, stopped doing everything she was supposed to do following societal narrative, and instead found herself without worrying about what everyone thought. I was never totally pulled in emotion wise. Perhaps greater depth was needed for that. And yet I finished and I do like how the author concluded the story. A bit inspiring to see such love + growth!

Thank you Julianne Hough, Ellen Goodlett, Sourcebooks Landmark, and Netgalley for this free ARC in exchange for a review.
This was a very enjoyable spiritual novel about an awakening, which was filled with distinct characters and healing.

I enjoyed the premise of this recently published book and Ellen Goodlett’s notes:
“As humans, we are hardwired for comparison. We study everyone else, trying to determine how life "should" be or what's "normal." But there is no right way to live. Or rather: there are as many right ways to live as there are people in the world. I hope (main character) Lexi's journey reminds you it's never too late to start over. The most powerful force we possess is change. Use it.”

I was so excited for this book! It sounded so good. The cover is absolutely beautiful!
Everything We Never Knew started out so good. But by 25% I was so bored. I kept reading just because I was so excited for the book. I had such high hopes but really I should have never finished it. I still did not like it by the end.
To be honest, I’m not 100% sure why I didn’t like it. I think I just had such high hopes because the premise of the book sounded like it was going to be so good.
