A review by norababora
All We Ever Wanted Was Everything by Janelle Brown

3.0

This book is very detailed and the characters are well developed. Everyone has secrets and everyone has flaws and these flaws are more evident as the plot unfolds. I liked that the message of the book essentially was about the mother and her daughters finding a way to accept each other's flaws and come together in order to conquer the larger issue aka the husband/father Paul.
I wasn't sure how i felt about so many things happening all at once to this family. I understand that Janelle Brown was trying to play on the "skeletons in the closet" of suburban families but usually there are only one or two secrets and they don't get revealed so quickly. The climax of the book felt like a big cluster of anything that could possibly go wrong.
This book did have great pacing and a lot of great details and i liked it a lot overall.
