Lonsdale certainly delivers a fantastic finale to her wonderful Everything series. So fantastic that I'm pretty upset it's all over. She's just kidding right? She's totally pulling our legs. Especially with that ending! (I don't want to say too much and reveal any spoilers!) I feel like there's so much more story to tell with the person outside of that office door.
I love the way Lonsdale weaved the stories of Aimee, James and Ian together. The Lucy/Lacy character has mesmerized me since book one, so it was nice to learn about her history and her connection with the three main characters.
The love story that Lonsdale crafts between Aimee and Ian is remarkable. She shows how two people in love can crack, almost break and then put themselves back together. The support that Aimee and Ian show for each other is admirable.
I especially enjoyed the flashbacks to Ian's childhood. I found his mother's battle with mental illness extremely interesting to read. Lonsdale gives the reader such a realistic glimpse of what life is like when a family member is living with Dissociative Identity Disorder.
As I mentioned above, I'm sad to see this series end. In the acknowledgments, Lonsdale mentioned that she had many more stories to share. I'm crossing my fingers that she'll continue this story in the future. I'm looking forward to what she will write for us next. Whatever it is, I'm positive I will be a fan.
Thank you, NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for this free kindle copy in exchange for my honest review.

Excellent storyline good development of the story getting Ian's perspective on things,it is a good ideal to read the previous boojs to get the bigger picture and thinking outside the bix.

A totally satisfying conclusion to the "Everything" trilogy. This book is Ian's story, full of secrets, and a deep look into why Ian is the way he is. Definitely read the first two books in the trilogy before reading this one. You won't be disappointed.

Diving deep into Ian's story, Lonsdale immerses readers in an emotionally complicated situation, asking what it takes for a person to heal, capturing the authenticity of sorrow and love and regret all wrapped in a shawl of hope. This is a brilliant culmination of the Everything series.

I could not wait to hear Ian's story and this story did not disappoint. Not only was the book entertaining, I also learned some things (what you ask - you will figure it out when you read the book!). The story was well-written and flowed so smoothly that I got lost in the story. I didn't want the story to end. I am deeply saddened that this is the final novel in the Everything Series by Kerry Lonsdale. I have been a member of Kerri's Tiki Lounge from the beginning and have been honored to read ARCs of all of Kerry's books. I will tell you - the books just keep getting better so do yourself a favor and read the entire series. It will only have you appreciating the story even more. A great series to read on your next long vacation!

Kerry Lonsdale has a beautiful gift for exploring the myriad ways love can turn to trauma over the course of a lifetime. Each installment of her beloved series has created unforgettable characters whose lives are braided with love, loss and resilience. The bittersweet conclusion, Everything We Give, illuminates the deepest, most poignant love of all: the fragile, inescapable bond between a mother and a child.

Picking up the threads of destructive relationships that are woven through the preceding novels, Everything We Give, allows readers to delve into the dark depths of love given to someone who is unable to receive it. This time, our protagonist and tragic hero, Ian Collins, is a man whose heart has been hollowed out in early childhood. As his wife and daughter struggle to understand his unease with the family they have built, Ian realizes his love will always be limited until he goes back to where he began.

Everything We Give is a raw, tender, unconventional love story that closes the circle in the fascinating, sad and joyful world of Amy, Ian and James. It asks the question: is it possible that forgiveness is the greatest love of all?

This is the end of a great trilogy, but all good things must come to an end. Kerry Longsdale is a page turning author. It is a book that you do not want to put down until you are finished reading. She leaves you wanting more.
This part of the story concentrates on Ian & his wife Aimee. Every other chapter flashes back to Ian's childhood with his mentally unstable/ split personality mother. He goes through some really hard times, especially when Jackie is around. It makes you want to take Ian home with you, so he doesn't have to put up with her abuse. The rest of the story is about Ian's current job, ex-wife, current wife and wild horses. I was sad to finish Everything We Give & cannot wait to see what Ms. Lonsdale has for us next! This is a must read!

“Everything We Give” (The Everything Series Book 3) by Kerry Lonsdale

From a dead fiancé (James/Carlos) to finding the truth about what really happened; to a strong commitment and love between Ian and Aimee; to having one’s dreams come true, to a degree, reader’s have been taken from Mexico to Hawaii to India and many places throughout the US and abroad in this trilogy of loss, gain, love, fear, secrets, truths, ups, downs and everything in between.

These novels started out as Aimee’s story then Aimee and Ian’s story and finally Ian’s story.

In another incredibly written novel, Kerry Lonsdale brings caricature and background that are fitting to the drama laid out on each page. With the passion demonstrated in the previous two novels in this series, the author delves into the issues of loss, found, personal and others strength and weaknesses, the discovery of one self and the lines we have to sometimes cross and abide by as we seek answers and take advantage of opportunities that may push others aside, affect our relationships, and may turn out the way we would like and would not like.

Well written extremely engaging, “Everything We Give,” is the finale one expects, one doesn’t expect and one will feel satisfied with.

Rating: 4.8
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I discovered Kerry’s books back in March 2017 and read Everything #1 and Breaking Waves in days! I waited patiently for Everything #2 to come out that summer and again read it in just a couple of days! I am in love with this author’s stories! Waiting for Everything We Give (#3) was hard but I survived :) and was extremely pleased to be picked to be an advance reader. It took me longer to read #3 but only because a busy life got in the way! I loved every second that I had with this story. Learning all about Ian and the hard life he had growing up and how he turned things around with the help of his wife, Aimee, to have a happy ever after life was the highlight of my reading time. I was sad when I swiped the page to start another chapter and found the acknowledgments. My time with this family had come to an end. :(
Wow! What a story.

For future readers, make sure to read Everything #1 and #2 first to get the whole effect! Then read #3! You won’t be disappointed!

Me... I’m just waiting now for Kerry’s next story. I know it’s going to be good!

Everything we give is the third and final book in the Everything Series. What a finish to an awesome series. Since this book is the third in the series I highly recommend that you read the rest of the books first. Everything we give answers all your questions ties up all loose ends. Once I sat down to read this book I could not put it down. Ian’s story tugged at my heart. I will miss these characters. I hope that there might be another book that may follow them. I love and highly recommend this trilogy you will not be disappointed.

The last of the series, and what a satisfying conclusion. Readers and fans of Lonsdale's work have a wonderful treat in store for them. I so enjoyed Ian's story, this beautiful love story, brought together through the past and the present. Bravo!

This was an amazing book and might even be my favorite of the series! It kept me guessing and had a lot of twists and turns. I was glad to finally hear Ian's story and now look forward to reading the other books again.

I loved the travel and felt like I was there. This book grabbed my heart from the beginning and I was along for a fantastic ride. I could not wait to get home every night to read. As the plot thickened, and the unanswered questions increased, I found myself caught up without putting the book down.

I am sad to see the story end. I look forward to more books from the author.

Do NOT read this review (or even the synopsis of the book), until you've read Everything We Keep and Everything We Left Behind. This novel contains major SPOILERS for its predecessors. If you're not planning to read Everything We Keep (even though you totally should because it was incredible and an instant favorite of mine in 2016), then, by all means, go ahead with this one. However, it will definitely make more sense if you read Everything We Keep first, followed by Everything We Left Behind.

Review may contain SPOILERS for the previous novels, so proceed with caution.

I loved "everything" about this novel. The pacing, the settings, the dialogue, the emotional tugs, etc. I really enjoyed getting to know Ian and seeing Aimee through his eyes. Aimee even got a few chapters of narrative, which allowed me to get back into her head and remember why I liked her so much from the first novel.

Readers will learn some interesting and disturbing things about Ian's childhood, growing up with a mom who was mentally ill. My heart broke for him so many times throughout the past and present. It made me love him even more than I did in Everything We Keep.

There are enough recaps to allow me to remember where things left off in the previous novels so that the story could move forward without being confusing. There was one point I did get confused about something from the second novel, but after it was explained to me, it made more sense.

I have a funny story to go along with this novel. I was reading a part where they mention Galicia, Spain. I then went to work and on my screensaver, there was a picture that was photographed in Galicia. What are the odds?

It was interesting to learn more about Lacy and where she came from, but I also felt her explanations were a bit anticlimactic after all the build-up. I was glad to get some answers and closure for the characters though.

Overall, I loved this novel and really wish Kerry would continue the series. I want to live in it a little longer!

Some casting I did for Everything We Keep,* plus some more for this novel, which would make an even more incredible movie, even on its own.

Aimee: Hallee Hirsh*
James/Carlos: Skylar Astin*

Everything we Give is a hauntingly compelling love story that wraps up the lives that are torn apart, woven together, and how staying away is letting go, demanding courage, heartbreak and the joys of unconditional love. This is book #3 of the Everything trilogy and I am still swept up in the emotions this beautiful book gives, making me cry, making me sigh with contentment, and loving the way love is played out in so many forms. Ian's tragic past is told with alternating chapters, tying him to the present day and his love for Aimee and Caty which made my heart beat faster with each new event. Amiee's love story is also continued, the paradox's are sharp in each others characters journeys. I was totally immersed in this book, the authors lovely prose and rich descriptive details of the Galatian Horses of chestnut, with the sunlight on their flanks, galloping away kicking up dust and the way she described a curtain in the window, bellowing like an ocean surface. I could just feel those images as if I were right there...so captivating is this book.... I didn't want it to end.

This has been a wonderful series to read. Starting with the first book and up till now each story has been astounding.
Everything We Give is a wonderful story with deeper meaning, this story has given me insight into real life issues of mental health, (The whole series has really done this wonderfully).
I very much enjoyed reading about real life festivals that I had never heard of before, they are quite interesting.
But of course the best part about this series is the characters, I have loved reading about these characters from the beginning with Everything we Keep to Everything we Left Behind and now Everything We Give. To watch these characters from when they have been broken to see them heal and to see them find love, it has been a wonderful journey.
I can not wait to see what Kerry Lonsdale writes up next.
This series is best read in order.
I received this book through NetGalley.

After reading the second book, I felt invested in these characters and their stories. Kerry Lonsdale does not disappoint here. Not only did she make connections I didn’t see coming, her writing continues to be easy and exciting to read! I cannot wait to be able to discuss this book with other readers! Ian’s story ended up being my favorite. It was incredible to trace how he became the man we (and Aimee) met in the first book.

Thank you Kerry Lonsdale for sending me a free E-ARC in exchange of an honest review. All opinions are my own. 

I rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

I cannot go to in-depth with this review, as its book Three and the final one in the series, so I do not want to spoil anything. Last year I was introduced to this series via Ashley at Amazon Publishing. One I read the first book, I fell in love with Aimee and Ian. I have never wavered in my love for this series. I was so excited when I saw Kerry's post on Instagram looking for early readers. I signed up ASAP.

Now onto this book. It was perfect. I  appreciate when book series are wrapped up so well, with closure, and no lingering questions. Of the whole trilogy, this one is by far my favorite. This one was the total package. It had the love story, of course, but this wasn't the just the love story of Ian and Aimee. This was the love story between a mother and son, and a father and son. "Everything We Give" also comes with some pretty gut wrenching heartbreak. There is some dark subject matter in this one. I don't want to say what as it spoils the plot. But if you're wanting this for a nice fluffy romance read, you're going to get a lot more than that. 

I am so in love with Kerry Lonsdale's writing and story telling, that I will read anything she writes, even her grocery list. I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next. Her writing is captivating, and beautiful, and it flows so nicely. Once you pick it up, you cannot put it down. I read half of the book, the first time I picked it up. Well Done Kerry!

Oh Kerry, first of all thank you for allowing me the opportunity to read the ARC for this book. I love how all three stories in this series connect and yet are completely unique and special. This book was a complete emotional rollercoaster. I was incredibly impressed with the research and narrative with the intricate story line of Ian's. This is an amazing read and I could not wait to get home and finish it today! I highly recommend this series and this book. I am also proud to be a Tiki.

Although I’m sad this series has come to an end I so enjoyed this book! I don’t want to post any spoilers. Let’s just say I could feel love between Ian & Aimee! I loved every minute of this book! I am looking forward to reading anything Kerry Lonsdale writes in the future! Xoxo

Thanks to NetGalley for my ARC. LOVED this emotional journey. Ian's childhood had me almost in tears. While reading, I noticed how well many themes were handled. I was pleased to see one of the discussion questions at the end of the story touches on this as the story telling is amazing.

As a bonus the reader learns about wild horses in Spain. I'm very glad I had this opportunity to read this early.
