All This Time
by Rachael Lippincott, Mikki Daughtry
Honestly, this was just weird. I read it within a couple hours because just wanted to know how it ended.
The whole story was very all-over-the-place. The synopsis makes it seem like the plot is just car crash then Kyle falling in love with Marley then big plot twist. In reality, it’s more like car crash, then Kyle falling in love with Marley, then weird confusing plot twist, then even more smaller weird plot twists until the (not very satisfying) ending. To say the least, I was pretty confused the whole time.
I also didn’t love the characters. It was established many times in the book that Kyle was self-centered and selfish, which I didn’t understand the point of. Why make a character have a bad quality if they don’t overcome that quality? I also didn’t like Marley very much, and there is nothing I hate more in a book than two people falling in love when they are both crappy characters.
I was expecting so much more from these authors. Five Feet Apart is one of my all-time favorite books, and my expectations shouldn’t have been as high for this one.
All This Time was a good book, but I would recommend reading it thoroughly and not cruising through it like it did. The main redeeming part of it was the additional chapter at the end (I’m not sure, but I think this was only in Barnes and Noble editions). The chapter had Stella and a few other Five Feet Apart characters in it, but not Will, which I was sad about, but it was still a good addition to the novel.
