Reviews for All This Time

[grgenius_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Have you ever had a book that you were so inside the story, so with the characters, so tethered to every word that was uttered, every feeling conveyed, every moment captured...that you were simply wrecked by book's end? I mean like in tears, sighing with relief or acceptance, and quite honestly needing a few moments at the very least before you could even think about wrangling your thoughts into something coherent, or ,goodness forbid, reading something else? Yeah, that's me with this book.

Kyle and Kimberly were a couple for as long as anyone could remember, which is especially long in today's world where some folks trade significant others like flavors of the week...but sometimes that familiarity, sometimes that constant togetherness, can make it hard for them to see themselves anymore. The bomb drop on graduation night was epic...but the fallout would last SO much longer and affect so many lives in ways no one could possible imagine. Throughout the ordeal, we get to know Kyle like never before, Kimberly more in depth, Sam beneath his jock-ish bravado, and Marley to the very core of her soul. All those connections, all those life links are going to come into play at different times throughout the story, and no matter how insignificant they may seem in the moment, their importance is a matter of sanity or downward spiraling, looking back constantly or moving forward...quite literally life or death.

I can't say enough and yet I don't want to spoil it for you. You deserve to experience it all for the first time too...untainted, uncertain, and yet fully involved. So if this sounds like a story you may like, or perhaps you enjoyed the other book, make haste to clear your calendar for a read of this remarkable release. It'll certainly remind you of the important things in life, and to treat each day like the present it is.

I loved it. This book touches hearts and emotions, showing loss, love and journeys. Marley, sweet and kind meets Kyle in an unreal world. Both recovering from such traumatic accidents. Both finding love in their darkest times. Then to have it ripped out from underneath it. So many. I almost cried at the very end, but luckily it turned out ok. People, read this and open up your hearts. Become an audience and listen.

That plot twist

[heatherlinc · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed "All This Time" so much more than "Five Feet Apart". I liked that it was narrated by Kyle, who had just lost his girlfriend in a horrific car crash. True, there were many tropes throughout the novel and I was concerned with the twist at the midway point, but I still found this a sweet read about love, grief and hope.
