I was eagerly waiting for this book, the third and the final installment in the Everything Series and I was so happy to read this ARC. Kerry Lonsdale has fantastically written this last compelling chapter.
In Everything We Give the narration alternates between present and past events of Ian’s life and from the beginning I was absorbed in this fantastic story of love, sacrifices, and hopes. Reading this book evokes so many strong feelings and the characters, as in the previous books, are brilliant and deep, and you’ll love them.

It was so intense reading about the theme of mental illness and from a child’s point of view. I loved how the author concludes this series with an engaging, emotional, and unforgettable story.

If you already read the previous books, don’t miss this one, you’ll love it as much as the other two; and if you didn’t…I absolutely recommend this series by this brilliant author.

I've read all three books in this series and I loved them all! The characters became real to me and became people I cared about. I highly recommend this series!! You will not be disappointed.

Loved it! My favorite of the three, although they were all quite enjoyable. Sad to see the series end, but Lonsdale gave us a finely wrapped up story which answered many questions pertaining to Ian's history and the closure between Aimee and James. I'm excited to see what Lonsdale has next up her sleeve! Well done!

I found myself loving the story while disliking the writing and not connecting with the characters. The character and point of view of Ian felt really forced and...clumsy. It’s almost as if she was like “hmmm this is way a man must think! Must include random sex scene any time they talk about something serious!” It started out awkward and then turned (unintentionally, I think) funny by the end.

That said, I love the journey these characters have been on over these three books and was happy to get to dive into Ian’s backstory and get some closure for him.

It has been a while since I read books #1 and #2 so I didn't remember all the details between the characters and their stories. I still enjoyed this book and would recommend the series.

I discovered Kerry’s books back in March 2017 and read Everything #1 and Breaking Waves in days! I waited patiently for Everything #2 to come out that summer and again read it in just a couple of days! I am in love with this author’s stories! Waiting for Everything We Give (#3) was hard but I survived :) and was extremely pleased to be picked to be an advance reader. It took me longer to read #3 but only because a busy life got in the way! I loved every second that I had with this story. Learning all about Ian and the hard life he had growing up and how he turned things around with the help of his wife, Aimee, to have a happy ever after life was the highlight of my reading time. I was sad when I swiped the page to start another chapter and found the acknowledgments. My time with this family had come to an end. :(
Wow! What a story.

For future readers, make sure to read Everything #1 and #2 first to get the whole effect! Then read #3! You won’t be disappointed!

Me... I’m just waiting now for Kerry’s next story. I know it’s going to be good!

I think this was my favorite book of the series. The way the author wove a somewhat suspenseful tale in a character-driven story was fascinating. It's a bit of a slower pace than I'm used to, but I liked these characters, so that wasn't a big deal. Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for a copy of this ARC.
