When You Were Everything
by Ashley Woodfolk
A sweet story about a topic seldom covered— the hurt and heartbreak when friendships come to an end.
A few issues, though:
Is there a high school in this country where AP Lit is offered as a course for sophomores?? MAYBE juniors, but it’s primarily something that seniors will take.
Sending an email to the entire student body from a library computer (after quickly creating a new untraceable account)?? It’s 2020, and I can’t imagine a school system that doesn’t have some kind of security in place to protect against this type of abuse.
Two-dimensional characters. Sloane and the other chorus girls are catty and superficial; Dom is way too good to be true; and the various storylines are wrapped up with so many feel-good ribbons at the end.
Overall, a strong start, but the contrivances and predictability put it firmly in the average category.
Thanks to Random House, Delacorte, and NetGalley for the electronic ARC.
