Everything You Need by A.L. Kennedy

3.0

I would've liked to read this without the italic internal thought... it often seemed too much, like hammering home points her prose and her story was doing well enough anyway. The characters and the basic story were well done, though, even if there could have been a bit less untimely-death-based drama -- the most compelling stuff was the stuff that had to do with the timely deaths and the lives of the characters. I think this might have been a four-star book if had been edited down to a little over half its length.
