A review by novaturient_bibliophile
All Our Hidden Gifts by Caroline O'Donoghue

4.75

My only complaint is Maeve. She’s one of those narrators that is just so self-centered and drama creating. On the other hand, though, I like her more as a character because I know her thoughts and what’s going on in her head. If she wasn’t the narrator, I’d have no patience for her whatsoever. The representation was incredibly wonderful, and both the friendships and romance were nice without being too fluffy and conflict-less. I really liked how all of the details tied together and how the plot and conflict just kept building and building. The ending left a lot of questions unanswered, though, so I hope the sequel addresses them. 
This book was a refreshing change of pace after reading the Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab—it was a nice and engaging and simple read. 
The queer rep and friendships reminded me a lot of Alice Oseman’s books, while the plot was more similar to that of the Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater.
