All the Things We Never Knew by Liara Tamani
2.5
2.5/2.75 (maaaybe)
I am a BIIIIIG basketball fan, so this one has been on my TBR for a while.
But if you're looking for sports, keep it moving, babes. One of the mains spends the entire book hating the sport. 😂
So! I finished it in one day. And most people would be thinking: "WOW! You really enjoyed it". But no... When I love a novel, I like to savor it. But this one, I flew through. I just needed it to be over.
Carli deserved better from EVERYONE.
Also, I feel like at 16,she should have been able to choose which parent she wanted to be with and that should have been that.
Rex, I didn't care for him at all. I feel like he was supposed to be white which is why he gave me such odd vibes the first time I started it. And definitely deserved better from his father.He shows up at the hospital and at her house without permission.
And, family nonsense aside, the way the author wrote them each without friends that talked to often was scary. No wonder they didn't know who they were. I mean, Carli had Jordan, but she wasn't really there until the basketball bits came up.
Last point: The book is probably a 2.75, but I think the part that really brought it down to a 2.5 was mentioning Jason Kidd. LOL (I'm laughing, but I'm furious) Rex (toxic AF) took a routine from a known abuser and that's not okay.
