I really enjoyed this book. Evie and her premonitions lend to a very interesting read. It is a book that will keep you up reading and enjoying the story.
Her aunts are so funny and help the story move right along,
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this book!

Cathy Lamb has created such delightful characters that I didn't want this book to end. I adored Evie (a girl after my own heart with a love of books and animals), and I especially loved her relationship with her mom, aunts, and sister.
Thos book had a bit of everything---Romance, mystery, murder. I laughed and cried, and I adored it!

My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All about is about a woman named Evie who loves her animals and has lived her life trying to deal with the premonitions she has around other people's deaths. She lives with her mom and her quirky aunts and has a motorcycle loving sister who is currently planning the biker wedding of the century. The side plot happens in the 70s with a woman named Betsy who is delivering her baby in prison, and who is also plagued with premonitions. I really enjoyed this read. It made me laugh and cry. I think if you like Cathy Lamb books you will love this one as well. Thank you for allowing me to read an advanced copy.

Ok, you know the saying "don't judge a book by its cover". Silly me took one look at the cover and for some reason thought All About Evie was a mystery. It's not.....well, maybe kinda-sorta. But not really. It's a story about love, all kinds of love. Love between siblings, love between couples, undying maternal and paternal love, and love that is just waiting to bloom. Throw in some crazy, but loveable aunts, psychic premonitions, and a menagerie of animals that will warm your heart.

Interesting read. Full and colorful characters. Detailed writing to help you imagine and understand what is going on. Laughs along the way as well as sincere and deeply emotional moments.

Evie has been plagued with premonitions since she was a young girl. They caused her to retreat to San Orcanita island, where they are somewhat less frequent. She lives there with her wide assortment of rescued animals, near her mom Poppy, and her aunts, Camellia and Iris. Evie runs a bookstore called Evie's Books, Cakes & Tea. She has her store, her books, her animals and her family and for the most part it is enough. But she is in love with the local vet. She refuses to go out with him because she has seen what will happen if they are together and she can't let that happen to him. Then when her sister ropes her into doing a DNA test to learn more about their ancestory she uncovers secrets her mom and aunts never thought would be uncovered.
This book was so good. It had a great storyline with fun, kick-butt female characters. This is perfect for fans of Alice Hoffman and Sarah Addison Allen.

Thank you Cathy Lamb for sending me an ARC of this book! It was quirky and fun as well as being sweet and touching. Evie is a wonderful character and you will be rooting for everything to turn out right for her. At first, the different timelines were baffling but in the end it all comes together in a satisfying way. You don't want to miss this one.If you're already a fan, this is right up your alley. If you're not, this will make you a fan!

Thank you so much to the author, Cathy Lamb, the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this book for an honest review.
This was such a fun and charming book. I loved that Evie had premonitions, and that the author was able to bring you into her world each time that she had one, and that everyone knew about her premonitions and believed in her and her world.
It came as a shock when Evie realized that her family wasn't her blood family however finally knowing her past helped her to understand her premonitions much more, and she became a better person/character for it.
As always, Cathy Lamb, hit a home-run with this book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!! If I could give this one 10 stars, I would.

“All About Evie” by Cathy Lamb
“All About Evie” … so much love in this book! An Island where everyone watches out for each other, small-town love…also, deep passionate love, but Evie cannot act on that love because of her lifelong premonitions. She can’t risk it because of what she’s seen and knows will happen. She’s saved so many, now can she save herself? I want to read more from Cathy Lamb! 5 stars! – Green Gables Book Reviews
Evie has so many wonderful things in her life! She has her Mom and her free spirited Aunts that she loves so much. She has her soon-to-be-a-bride sister, Jules, she has her animals, and (swoon) their Vet, Marco, and the love of people in her town. She has her dream bookstore and is very successful. She is everyone’s friend.
Evie also has premonitions. These premonitions are something she has had since she was a child and she has saved many people from harm. Some of these times were big events, like running into the street to save a child from oncoming traffic, others were things no one knew she had a part in, like slashing bike tires to save someone from having a bike accident that day. Unfortunately, Evie has had two premonitions that have been with her for a long time. And, they haven’t happened yet. One of them has caused her life to be altered to save someone she loves and the other…she hates to even think about.
Evie’s sister, Jules, is so in love and so excited about her upcoming wedding, that her enthusiasm is contagious! So, when she comes with DNA tests, to find out more about their family’s past, what’s the big deal, right? Why are her Mom and Aunts acting so strange? When Evie’s results come back, everything starts to make sense, but nothing makes sense. What does this all mean and can she finally deal with the premonitions she’s had her whole life and the one’s she’s been waiting to happen?
5 stars!

I would like to thank Netgalley, the author and publisher for the Advanced Reader Copy of this book at my request. The thoughts expressed herein are my own.

This book took off with a bang and never slowed it's roll. Evie is a character you will fall in love with and long remember. She is quirky, funny leads a strange life including having an alpaca as a pet! Evie also has a bookstore and her premonitions.....well. Quite an enjoyable read.

Hands down one of the BEST books I’ve read this year. Cathy Lamb is truly a terrific author. I fell in love with so many aspects of this book: quirky interesting characters, beautiful setting, the main character, Evie’s love if books and animals, and of course the story itself. It is full of family love, heartache, pain & sorrow and magic thrown in.I also liked that it is a generational story, switching back and forth between the timelines. I even cried on the train finishing up the last few chapters. Please read this book!! Thanks Cathy Lamb for an advanced copy of this truly wonderful novel.

I loved All About Evie by Cathy Lamb so very very much. I laughed, I cried, I was moved beyond measure. Evie is such a fantastic character! Haunted by premonitions, adored by her family, surrounded by her beloved animals, she is a bad ass woman who loves fiercely and protectively—and she loves cake and pie! I want to visit her bookstore so badly, have her feed me cake and pour me tea as she sells me books!! Besides Evie and her animals, the rest of the characters are quirky, adorable, and wonderful. Except for the bad guys—men who rule with fists and power and ego who bring an edge to this story which deals with abuse and misogyny and injustice. I’ve learned with Cathy’s books to expect the unexpected; I know that there will be hilarity and poignancy, that there will be achingly tender moments interspersed with moments of woe and even anger. All About Evie is all of those things, written in Cathy Lamb’s unique style and voice. Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for providing a copy of this book.

This is my first time reading Cathy Lamb so I wasn't sure what to expect but the synopsis of All About Evie sounded interesting. It didn't take long to get hooked to the quirkiness of Evie, with her premonitions, and her fun loving mother & aunts! The side story of Evie's birth parents ran smoothly alongside and came to a nice resolution. Thank you NetGalley!

This novel tells the emotionally compelling story of one woman’s life changing discovery about her past.
I liked this book as it was very delightful
Would highly recommend!

I really can never say enough about Cathy Lamb's books. They are wonderful! I often say to myself "Who thinks of these crazy things?" Well, Cathy Lamb does. The characters are hilarious! The story itself is always touching and yes, I did cry a few tears. All about Evie is another great read! Premonitions......hmmmmm.......I don't know if I would be able to handle that! #AllAboutEvie #NetGalley

Oh my gosh...you can never go wrong with a Cathy Lamb novel! All About Evie is a superb novel that will make you laugh uproariously and maybe even cry a little too. This novel got me through some dark days. I always know I can count on Lamb to take my mind off of my problems. This novel drew me in and hooked me from the first page. Don't miss out on this one!

This book grabs you from the beginning. It’s beautiful cover and exciting opening chapter pull you in. Evie loves book and her family. She can also see the future. She uses the premonitions to help save people but she is also haunted by premonitions about her own future that are not very bright.
Evie is a very interesting character. She gives herself to help everyone either through her premonitions or helping them find new books in her bookstore. I love to read so this trait was extremely interesting for me. Evie has very interesting aunts that keep her on her toes and I loved them. They added so much to the story with their antics. This is a great book and I highly recommend it!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Eve has lived her whole life with premonitions and one in particular that is particularly unsettling. I liked getting to know Evie and her quirky family, especially her aunts. I would love to see this book as a Hallmark movie. I think it would be perfect!

Cathy Lamb has done it again! This is such a sweet story that is perfect for that afternoon sweatshirt, coffee and a book. Sure not everything is perfect in their world but it all feels manageable. The characters are individually developed so well and are so unique that you need to remind yourself that they are not real. I want to call or stop by just to chat and catch up! EVIE’s menagerie of pets is adorable and hilarious.i was born and raised in a large city so I really enjoy the contrast to a small town where everyone knows everyone. I crave this bookstore and Evies barrage of excuses for her slice of daily pie. This book has something for every reader in it and it must be moved to the top of your tbr list. Pub date is Oct 29th. You will fall in love with Evie, and her crazy and wacky entrepreneurial relatives. Do not mistake my comments as “fluff”. There are intriguing and Interesting threads throughout the book. Love love love. #netgalley @kensingtonpublishing. Thank you for contacting me and offering the opportunity to dive in early to this exceptional book!
